Of course, the UK abolished hanging in the 1960s after a number of highly publicised miscarriages of justice and a growing public resistance to the practice. Today, only lunatics, fascists, and reprobates would ever consider surrendering the individual power to prevent executions – and give that power back to an uncaring State. Having said that, the various regimes that occupied the British Isles over the last 2000-years or more – did carry-out the arbitrary killing of individuals for all kinds of spurious reasons – the Christian Church being one of the greatest killers. Midwives were routinely executed by the Church for daring to care for pregnant women. Indeed, although the UK still possesses Midwives – the US effectively banned this profession due to its association with Witchcraft. How cool is that? Perhaps the final irony is that after the British traitors assumed control of the colonies the UK had established in the Americas – their first act was to abolish the death penalty because it was a remnant of the old Europe the British traitors had abandoned. That and the fact that these scandrals knew that if England ever assumed control of the colonies again – Washington, Jefferson, and all the rest – would probably end-up dangling from ropes after ten-minute trials for “Treason”.
