'Nobody has ever committed a crime after being executed': New Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson calls for return of death penalty
2023-02-09
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The MP for Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, a former coal miner who defected from Labour in 2018, said the death penalty has a '100 per cent success rate'

  • He also criticised his party for being 'too scared' to reform the welfare system

  • Lee Anderson also said migrants crossing the Channel in small boats should be returned to France ‘the same day’ on a Royal Navy frigate

  • Anderson was this week promoted to the key role in the Tories’ general election campaign.

#10  Didn't we just read yesterday or the day before about a chid molester being killed in prison?

The UK does already have the death penalty. It's just carried out by the private sector.

#9  Overheard at the job fair...

"The Herrin folk working that mine
Are scary, not very refined,
And terribly racist
Toward scabs with black faces,
But... fortified wine!"
"Where I sign?"

The Union forever!

#2  Out of all the historic executions in the USA, why did you pick that one?

#1  Yes, the positive impact on recidivism is well documented. After April 19th 1928, Charlie Berger was never heard from again.
