When we take an eye for an eye, we all end up blind.

Fine rethoric, but does it really add up in the real world?

execute a serial rapist

We don't execute.

What you suggest - andI have to assume that this isn't a troll - is much
worse. Fortunately, not even Rupert Murdoch can persuade any UK
government
down the road you so ludicrously propose.

What's so "ludicrous" about it? Less people in prison, a more
realistic and productive approach to fine defaulters, permanent removal
of the most extreme and violent from society only after they have
comitted several extreme offences, and punishments for lesser offences
that will be regarded by the majority of the population as more fitting
the crimes. You clearly don't like the idea, but you've not put
forward any coherent reasons for not liking it.

Brutalising society. Lowering ourselves to the level of the criminal. Above
all, not solving the underlying problems - which is by far the worst aspect.

In the meantime, as I have better things to do with my time, you can join
the august band in my killfile.

The last retort of the playground politician

Who's sinking to insults? Who's changing his email address in a desperate
attempt to carry on his lame tirade?

So much
for debate.

Indeed - your amended email address has also gone in the killfile. Plenty of
room there yet.
