Public Hanging for those who propose public hanging

Responsible department: Ministry of Justice

When God said in the Bible "a noose for a noose" He was right. For too long sick perverts have been getting away with proposing public hanging in the UK. We say enough. The proposed punishments for some crimes are so horrific that the proper punishment for proposing this punishment is the death penalty. After all, with all that DNA science we now have, we can always prove all the time who has proposed a punishment for a crime, and then propose punishing them appropriately. So, Government, will you ConDem us to more Brussels non-justice? Or will you finally publicly hang anyone who proposes public hanging for any crime? We propose this.

I see plenty of petitions calling for reinstatement of capital punishment ( and an equal number not wanting it ) but none for corporal punishment. Therefore I'm going to write one suggesting that flogging, bastinado, or beating with a bulls penis be made available as punishments for minor traffic offences and anti-social behaviour.

I can't get onto the site, but am I right in thinking that it's basically being used as a more sophisticated version of the Facebook "like" trend? Y'know, "Dave likes 'puttin unexpected items in the self survice till at the soopermarket coz your a crazy cunt'" sort of thing?

We need to get something up there that refers to Cibrushsille, and see if we can get non-forumites to sign it.

Introduce a 6p coin, a 60p coin, a £6 note, a £60 note, a £600 note, a £6000 note and a special £6,000,000,000 note for govt use. The benefit is that people like the number 6 and will be much happier and it will stimulate the economy as business scrambles to reflect the changes, including vending machine operators.

But indeed, at that time, putting to death was a recipe much in vogue with all trades and professions[...]. Death is Nature's remedy for all things, and why not Legislation's? Accordingly, the forger was put to Death; the utterer of a bad note was put to Death; the unlawful opener of a letter was put to Death; the purloiner of forty shillings and sixpence was put to death; the holder of a horse at Tellson's door, who made off with it, was put to Death; the coiner of a bad schilling was put to Death; the sounders of three-fourths of the notes in the whole gamut of Crime, were put to Death. Not that it did the least good in the way of prevention--it might almost have been worth remarking that the fact was exactly the reverse--but, it cleared off (as to this world) the trouble of each particular case, and left nothing else connected with it to be looked after

I'm reading A Tale of Two Cities at the moment, and was struck by this paragraph this morning:


I liked that. Of course, I'm of the opinion that such punishment need not be implemented as a deterrant, and the failure of it to act as such is not an argument against its use. Merely that 'clearing off the trouble of each particular case', is a pretty good end unto itself.

Certainly until you are executed for going at 71mph on a motorway...

Certainly until you are executed for going at 71mph on a motorway...

Or until you're executed because someone who's just nicked your car has gone 71mph on the motorway.

Ah, finally! A campaign we can get behind:



Yes, a 6p coin would make me 0.06% happier.

Or the land where convictions are sometimes wrong and get overturned after the fact.
