    If it gets over 100,000 signatories it will at least be discussed along with any others that get this number by a back bench comittee and then maybe if selected it will make one of the 6 slots left in the parlimentary year. BUT We need to sign the GET OUT OF EU one first as EU members signed up to no death penalty just another reason to get out
    Live your life for a reason and don't worry be happy

    if you don't know where you are going then any road will do!!

    Politicians are supposed to represent the views and wishes of the people who voted them in,get out of the EU is the one I would sign unhesitatingly,but with the amount of eastern europeans who have flooded us its rather like shutting the stable door after the event sadly



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    True but the system doesn't work like that if 99% of the population voted for hanging but only 49% of mp's then you would not get it brought back
    Although they represent us they make their own decisions based on their own beliefs and conscience.

    I fully understand what you're saying Les, and part of me wants to agree, but on the other hand (pun intended) I can't agree. For all of the UK's problems and liberal/left wing ideals, what sets us apart from certain parts of Africa, Middle East and Asia is that we are civilized and by and large we treat everyone with humanity and respect. Sure, it leads to people taking liberties with our sense of fairness, but we have to accept that for the good and freedoms of the majority of the law abiding population. For all the daily rags say when they sensationalize Uk crime figures, the UK is still a safe country, and whilst corporal and capital punishment may be a good deterent in Singapore/Malaysia ...etc, we have a long history of good human rights and a fair judicial system.
    I'm on the fence on this one, I'm not convinced any form of corporal/capital punishment works. However, I am in favour of much longer jail terms in filthly rat/roach infested hell holes with nothing more than stale bread and one's own urine to drink

    Couldnt we make it more visually exciting like Burning alive or madame guillotine
    and what about audience participation like stoning pay-per-view executions of serial killers,pedophiles,rapists and bent coppers would pay off the national debt

    Muslim prisoners are given Halal, Food access to Imans etc - I'd like to see this compassionate attitude extended with Sharia type punishments being dished out to Muslim groomers and drug peddlers

    Sounds OK in theory, but the problem is that Sky would outbid everyone and then no one would be able to see it unless they subscribed at Ł50 PM or whatever they charge these days

    That would be a much better idea for a petition than the hanging one

    It's not civilized to steal either and as for human rights it's totally abused.
    I would be compassionate if it was for a starving family as opposed to the stealing of a plasma TV just for greed or drugs money,but as the Saudi guy i picked up recently told me that you could leave your car unlocked all night and no-one is going to touch it.
    Why can't we have that deterrent here

    We could have public-executions on saturdays in football grounds,a tenner to watch would be far,far cheaper than paying extortionate prices to see overpaid,over-idolised prima-donnas whose only talent in the world is kicking a football about and you could always bury the dead on the pitch afterwards or stage gladitorial games with the convicted crims having-at each other,last man standings death sentence commuted to life imprisonment

    i think the punishment should fit the crime,
    i believe in having stocks in every town and village centre,the offender to be put in one where he commited the offence,a plaque above the stocks displaying his crime, let those local people he offended decide

    I always thought the Chinese had something going for them at football games, wheeling in the condemmed at half time, parading them round the pitch with a notice on them stating their crimes, then driving them off to a bit of wasteland and putting a bullet in the back of their heads.

    I used to have a video called "Executions",I am sure one of the scenes on it was a truck pulling up on a chinese city streetcorner,it was old grainy black and white jerky footage,the guys were dragged off the back of the truck,knee'd in the back of the legs to get them onto the floor then shot very quickly and unceremoniously,they do it to politicians and officials who are corrupt,why oh why didnt we adopt the practice during the MP's expenses scandal

    'Stoning' belongs only in a society governed by sub-humans.

    Chopping hands off would entitle the crook to Disability Living Allowance at the top rate, plus any other benefits that go with that.

    Leave the EU ? YES !

    Hanging in PROVEN cases ? (DNA, camera evidence etc). YES !

    Stocks/other forms of public humiliation ? YES !

    Don't forget the 'Jeremy Clarkson for Prime Minister' petition.

    No, I think hanging would be more appropriate in their cases.
