Last time I looked a majority of Brits support the death penalty. Which personally I’ve always found quite disturbing considering all the problems with it.

But 5 mins on any subreddit and you have people frothing at the mouth to hang every criminal.

Which if even more disturbing.

So what do you think?

    I was thinking about this, and the difference is a sort of top-down vs bottom-up sort of thing.

    It’s not good to give those in power the ability to execute the citizens of the country.

    But whether the citizens of the country should have the ability to execute those in power… that’s a separate discussion.

      We could just start with anyone with power who was never elected?

      That still gives a very large group, whether it’s Lords or our current PM since he wasn’t running as head of the party when people voted last.

      And Reece-Mogg. Because.
