I'm sure they could get the moron Brexiteers to vote for that one. Can we bring it back for treason and leading the country into penury . Boris and Gove first.
What are we now living in the USA? Disgraceful that this is even being considered
Yes, because the death penalty works so well for all the countries that still have it - whoever heard of anyone committing a violent crime in the US, for instance...
The state has no more right to take life than an individual.
so much for the democratic EU
This might be the first valid reason for Brexit and it would convince the people in the other 27 member states to say: “OKAY, go out!”
yeah lets get all prisoners shipped to australia too
Well this was an inevitability. After brexit gave people licence to shed their civilised image, it’s only a surprise it took so long.
Now that we are leaving the EU we can reintroduce .....perhaps we can rid ourselves of a lot of serial rapists, terrorists and murderers
I bet those asking for the death penalty to be brought back in the UK corrupt system are not working class, poor, black, catholic, muslim, disabled or unemployed but just those that think they would never be at risk.
Well it would make sense for traitorous politicians. Those who are complicit in the destruction of our country by asset strippers and foreign oligarchs.
Could be interesting after the brexit trials. Maybe treason will go back to being a hung drawn and quartered punishment.
As a member of the Council of Europe and the European Convention on Human Rights capital punishment is incompatible with membership. Likewise any member will automatically refuse extradition to any country that has the death penalty for the offence the a person is accused of.

The scariest thing about this is all the comments on articles reporting this that are supporting the death penalty! I'm absolutely shocked and saddened by the amount of people in this country who would support State Murder! Very upsetting backwards step!
Anti-abortion, anti-gay but pro-state murder. What a lovely guy.
xenopoesis3 ...in team for all the Leave criminals?
And rightly so. Allowing certain murderers, rapists, paedophiles and treasonous terrorists to walk and breathe the same air as ourselves cheapens and devalues human life itself.
They don’t have a clue. Out of Council of Europe, British invention, and join pariah state Belarus on the distant edges of Europe. Not even Turkey or Russia killing people. Maybe 🇸🇦should have lured Mr Khashoggi to Londonistan😬
No. The death penalty for 1000 guilty is not worth it happening for 1 wrongly convicted innocent. Which will happen.
Well said John Hayes ! Why should hard-pressed honest working people pay for decades for the food, heat and welfare of murderers, grooming gangs and other serious violent crime ? moraldecline
GuyLongworth Merits! Is he for real? We really are going back to the dark ages
No no no no no no no no no no
Quite right, we should consider the death penalty for acts of terrorism, police murders and child murderers.
O_O
The problem with this is the justice system is too soft and would only hang in bank robbery, as opposed to murder and rape !
Stupid man
who
Under no circumstances! Talk about a massive backward step. This would not be allowed within the E.U.!
Tory MPs love to capitalise off their own mental health issues!
So it begins
It worked so well in Handmaid’s Tale, after all.
No doubt to be followed by a request to bring back the stocks and transportation to the colonies
