Jihadis, the death penalty and far-left rats in a lather... 13:47 - Jul 23 with 6460 views | Lohengrin | I see the usual suspects on the far-left are up in arms over the HO’s decision not to attempt to block a trial for jihadis where the possible outcome could be the death penalty. Forget about any wailing from the likes of Abbott, it is their deepest instinct to side with darkness. Do you personally, or do you know of anybody who would have the least objection to the dispatch of such people after due process should that be the court’s decision? | |

Give them a council house and benefits for their extended family out of the public pocket. Do you really need to ask what they would do? | |

Jihadis, the death penalty and far-left rats in a lather... on 14:33 - Jul 23 with 2613 views | Lohengrin | Talking of Abbott I’ve just heard her on the radio opining that “we (I’m never sure who she means by that) abolished capital punishment in the ‘60s. She’s wrong. The right to exercise was always retained by HM Forces and often the responsibility was invested in a teenaged kid a few weeks out of basic training. You are seeing it exercised more and more by Police Armed Response Units usually on a split second subjective assessment. Does anybody else see it as an example of wildly muddled thinking that the right to exercise is withheld from the court who would arrive at any decision after a protracted period of objective, evidential review but granted to young lads in khaki or blue subject to no such detachment?

Jihadis, the death penalty and far-left rats in a lather... on 15:13 - Jul 23 with 2538 views | londonlisa2001 | In answer to the OP. Yes. I disagree with capital punishment and I also disagree with the Home Secretary making a unilateral decision on this. The people in question should be locked up for the rest of their lives. Not 20 years, not 30, but until they die. I have no problem in them being stripped of citizenship either. In fact, I welcome that. But if you disagree with capital punishment you disagree with it. If they’d been killed in action by the way - no problem with that at all. But they weren’t. So it’s different. | | | |

I would agree, though Loh's point about the police/army does provoke some thought. However, as you say if they killed in action I would shed no tears. Life would have to mean life with the most basic of rights. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Neither the army nor the police are able (as far as I’m aware) to kill someone who is in custody and, therefore, poses no further threat? That’s the consistency isn’t it? Capital punishment, by definition, isn’t the prevention of an immediate or future danger, as locking someone up in a cell for the rest of their life does that anyway. I don’t have a problem with the army or police killing someone who is posing a threat if there is no other way of removing that threat. It’s very different. | | | |

The cost of keeping these pieces of excrement for life in a UK prison must be astronomical, the HO are right in wanting to get this scum out of this country, even if it may mean execution. Either that or flush them down the toilet where sh*t belongs. | |

isn't our adherence to higher principles like due process and the right to a trial what separates us from these monsters? and if the USA is anything to go by, trials involving the death penalty are astronomically higher than those involving life in prison | | | |

I see the sewing circle is still going strong there ladies. Of course. Corbin government would allow them back, put them at the front of the housing queue and probably give them clothing and food tokens for M&S . He's a terrorist sympathizer, right | |

Not only that, but unless your motivation is purely revenge and blood lust this makes no sense rationally. The objective of the earnest jihadist is martyrdom. Executing them achieves just that. Whereas life in prison is a significantly less glamorous and - for the faithful - rewarding proposition for the would be martyr. A deterrent if you like. | |

Your first line there, what makes you imagine many would have that level of angry, emotional investment? I’d venture to suggest that most on hearing they had been executed would just shrug and carry on with their day not giving it a second thought. | |

It is largely irrelevant. The simple fact is that life in prison is a deterrent, whereas execution is more akin to the objective. | |

A deterrent is the realisation of consequence that occurs to rational thinkers. Those who would behead aid workers or put captives in a cage, dowse them in petrol and set them aflame do not act or think along rational lines. | |

I see, so you take the view jihadists are born, not created. It is an interesting view psychologically speaking, but one that does not have any basis in reality since this a thoroughly modern phenomenon. | |
