However, as a nation supposedly opposed to the death penalty we should be trying to get it abolished and not encouraging it by supplying the equipment of death. We have a Cross-Party group in Parliament working to encourage others to abolish the death penalty - see <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmallparty/register/death-penalty.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a>.ObiterJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04544226917595022902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110794854146484721.post-30835315396139819602011-02-16T17:30:58.043+00:002011-02-16T17:30:58.043+00:00So therefore you would legislate to ban the arms t...So therefore you would legislate to ban the arms trade?The Justice of the Peacehttp://thejusticeofthepeace.blog.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110794854146484721.post-3411444089898257702011-02-16T17:21:09.306+00:002011-02-16T17:21:09.306+00:00Two wrongs never really make a right!Two wrongs never really make a right!ObiterJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04544226917595022902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110794854146484721.post-53744432380092250582011-02-16T15:06:27.857+00:002011-02-16T15:06:27.857+00:00Is it not time that our government acted to ban th...Is it not time that our government acted to ban this obnoxious trade? <br /><br />I must disagree with you.

It is purely punitive and some support it on that bases. It is certainly not a deterrent as can surely be seen in over 50 countries which continue to use it.<br /><br />A study of the death penalty in America would take much space. Especially abhorrent features are the length of time people spend on "death rows"; the use of IQ as a test etc.<br /><br /><a href="http://watchingthelaw.blogspot.com/2010/09/virginia-executed-teresa-lewis.html" rel="nofollow">I blogged on the Treresa Lewis case last year.</a>ObiterJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04544226917595022902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110794854146484721.post-91597309592999678942011-02-16T09:11:22.830+00:002011-02-16T09:11:22.830+00:00Sandy - I think we will have to agree to differ on...Sandy - I think we will have to agree to differ on this.ObiterJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04544226917595022902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110794854146484721.post-9569180736280341862011-02-15T19:37:58.373+00:002011-02-15T19:37:58.373+00:00"His conviction was richly deserved" So ..."His conviction was richly deserved" So what's the problem?
