Tory MP in favour of the death penalty: "No-one has ever committed a crime after being executed"...

Lee Anderson: ‘Capital punishment? 100% effective!’

Who is the worst man in Britain? According to the Daily Mirror, it’s the 56-year-old former coal miner and Tory MP Lee Anderson, who clinched the award a year ago after criticising England’s footballers for ‘taking the knee’. How did Anderson, who this week was appointed Deputy Chairman of the...

Will he abandon his beliefs if he gets a bit more power and prominence? Is he just another fake conservative? Most probably.

****ing idiot.

'The latest YouGov survey on the subject, published in January, shows that 49% of the country would support the death penalty for terrorist acts and the murder of children, with 38% against. Support for its return, if all murders are included, drops to 30%, with 51% against. Parliament has tended to be more liberal on the issue than the general public, and various attempts by private members to bring it back have all foundered.'

Isn't there somewhere on here about how figures can be manipulated to mean anything. So there's some more to take with a pinch of salt then.

Cool, first time I say any of those phrases feel free to pull me up on it. I'll happily explain my worldview.

I'm not as utterly predictable as some though, who just spout the same nonsense but can't/won't say why.

The barmy tories ebb and flow.

Some of them are even calling for a return of the idiot Truss's economic "ideas."

You was the one trying to be funny with your bingo chart. Things are not all black and white there's shades of grey which your willing to discuss, won't make you right though, it'll be just an another opinion in someone else's eyes

I have two main reasons for opposing the death penalty. Firstly, people say 'if it's proved beyond all doubt they're guilty, they should be put to death.' Well, there are cases of people imprisoned for years that were thought to be guilty beyond all doubt, only for the conviction to be overturned due to new evidence or whatever. I think there was one of these quite recently and it wasn't just a case of 'new evidence shows he probably didn't commit the crime' I think the evidence showed he definitely couldn't have.

My second reason is simple. Yes, it costs £££ to keep people in prison, especially for decades. However I think putting guilty people to death is in some ways an easy out for them. Rather, they should be kept in a strict prison system for the rest of their lives, forced to live said life without the hope of freedom.

Things with overwhelming evidence tend to be true. Some people are happy with gut feelings, I'm not.

Tend to being the operative word.
