Northern Ireland MPs demand death penalty debate

The government is facing fresh demands to bring back the death penalty.
Five Democratic Unionist MPs from Northern Ireland have signed a motion calling for a full debate in the Commons on the matter.
More than 23,000 people have signed a government e-petition urging the return of capital punishment, but more than 30,000 have signed a counter-motion rejecting the idea.
The death penalty was last used in Britain in 1964.
Neither petition is close to the 100,000 signatures needed to trigger consideration for a Commons debate.
The motion has been signed by David Simpson, Sammy Wilson, Jim Shannon, Gregory Campbell and Jeffrey Donaldson.
They say the subject was last discussed in Parliament in 1998 and it is now time for the debate to be reopened.
Mr Donaldson said earlier this year he was in favour of capital punishment for convicted terrorists.
"One of the reasons why I think it should be debated is because I want to hear the contrary arguments," he said.
A number of Conservative backbenchers have also called for the issue to be discussed by MPs.
While those in favour of a reintroduction are in the minority in Parliament - and the death penalty is opposed by the European Union - Commons leader Sir George Young has warned that it would damage democracy to ignore strong opinions among members of the public "or pretend that their views do not exist".

 

We should meet them half way and re introduce knee capping

 

And quite right too.

It should be on telly as well.

After the 9 o clock watershed of course.

 

I tell ya what, it would soon rid this country of so called freedom fighters.

 

William: They are more and more of them, what are we to do

Billy: I know, well call them all terrorists and try to get them executed

 

No one who believes in God or the teachings of Jesus Christ could support the death penalty.

 

Yes they could.

 

Oh no they couldn't.

 

Oh yes he is!

 

Could too...............

 

Hes behind you

 

Oh no he's not!

 

He's in you!

 

Never felt a thing.

 

Ever hear of the Guilford 4 and B,ham 6 ya thick prick.10 innocent men who are guaranteed to have been executed if the judge had the powers.
The extent to which your bigotry has warped any sense of decency you may have had is staggering

 

Freedom fighters, in NI, no no no, these are just people who wish to control, if they win then any freedom you have now will be lost immediatley. Anyone with half a brain can see that, trouble is it's always the kids that get inducted in, and kids don't have the brains they were born with, that's why the evil men target them and sell them the romantic hollywood view of it. Once you're in you're in, and they'll get your claws into you before you're 10. What is it exactly they want? Trouble is you give an inch they'll try and take an arm, and they don't care whose kids have to die to get it, just as long as it isn't them or theirs.

Bigot.

 

You've enjoyed yourself enough at the taxpayers expense

Pay up

 

What's bigoted about that. He was merely suggesting that every organisation should have to foot the bill for the cleanup after their events.
