    So they have gone ahead and done it. Can see there being a massive fall out over this. The Australians especially don't stand for any guff.

    What's everyone's views on the death penalty? Too extreme or not? Should we re-introduce it to Britain? These people knew the consequences of their actions. Greed has a lot to answer for.

    Co-incidentally my new girlfriend is from Indonesia.

    Exactly. Although I wish he'd hurry up in certain cases...

    You have to wonder what pressure some people are put under to smuggle drugs into or out of a country that makes no secret of its use of the death penalty for such crimes though. Doubtless there'll be a few doing it purely for the money but equally you have to imagine there's loads threatened with God knows what if they don't.

    While I don't advocate the death penalty for all over-50s, I'd like them to pass some sort of annual test to see if they deserve another year.

    <laugh> So I see but I would have been first if someone had not interrupted me with work.

    I'm all for the death penalty.

    If we are going to introduce a death penalty then criminals will go to even further lengths not to be caught

    Too extreme or not?

    You seriously asked that question about the death penalty?

    Harsh but fair I think. Plus it was nice that they offered blindfolds.
