    You know why that is, it's because they never travel, except in the US itself. I forget what they call them, is it snowbirds where they travel from the North to the South in winter, to places such as Florida. They are loud and brash and a pain in the arse. Sort of place where you'll see a 50 stone American complaining about smoking, while ramming big macs down their neck.

    Like most countries, the US is a great place to be if you’ve got a few quid, not so much if you’re unemployed or on the breadline.

    Greatest country in the world!

    They're not even the greatest country in North America.

    maybe, but i guess this is closure to the victims family. It's one of the harder cases and it's a shame what happened to the women but some crimes are sometimes just too heinous. Where do we draw the line?

    State executions as a form of euthanasia. Ffs we put down rabid dogs not human beings. My mum had schizophrenia after the menopause. Don't get me wro6 there were times I thought she'd be at peace if I topped her. But on moral, religious and legal grounds... never. My daughter works with these people. On is a middle aged woman who killed her sister when they were young. Throughout her life she has tried to commit suicide. However, that just makes two wasted lives. This woman will never be 'normal'. She'll probably never forgive herself, and she'll be a burden on society too. But if the state is going to be the decider of who does and doesn't live based on their personal guilt of acts committed and legally punished and time served..... no. Just no.

    That said if she's a MAGA loon...

    Trump and the Republicans have been rushing through as many Federal death warrants as they can before the 20th, as Biden has said Federal death sentences won’t happen under his tenure.

    20 states don’t have the death penalty, and about a dozen of the 30 that do haven’t used it in over a decade. So the answer is you don’t draw that line in more than half of US States.

    You need to read between the lines of my comment. It was my deep and dark way of saying IF it was meant to be a form of state punishment, then it failed, which I assume executions are about. I don't see how any punishment was served or gained from it on behalf of the state. I'm being realistic all they've done is sent her to sleep for life, she will feel no punishment, she's dead! I don't believe in the death penalty.

    We draw the line how we draw the line as part of the UK legal system, there is no death penalty.

    It was an absolutely heinous crime.

    Obviously I understand China, China, China has it's own ways Bobby. <whistle>

    Electric Chair or @luvgonzo Chair

    Reckon there’s a battle with that on/off switch in Luv’s house.

    His missus switches it on to mask the clouds of guff stink and he switches it off when he flops in that grandpa chair.

    Did anyone see Matt Frei's interview with Trump supporters in Virginia yesterday? Bonkers. Just ****ing demented. STILL going on about 150k more votes than registered voters in Wisconsin.

    Fact Check: Trump Votes Were NOT Deleted And Were NOT Switched To Biden | Lead Stories


    Even after Matt Frei had said that had been put before court and found to be false (see above), she just wittered off 'That's what you say, but this story won't go away, and many more examples of fraud;' Just keep repeating and believing, repeating and believing. How do you heal and reconcile with these zealots?

    Thought it was funny how she then went on to castigate her relatives in Wales for being sheep. So she was not fully wrong! :emoticon-0143-smirk
