The death penalty - Execution - And The Iron Lady

I well remember the ceaseless campaigning that we had to do in the UK in the 1950's and 1960's to get hanging abolished. Eventually under Harold Wilson, see post below, we achieved success.


Since then, it is true to say that unless we had stopped hanging, that there wold have been dozens of men and woman sent to their death, who have subsequently been released because of their innocence. Some of these have unfortunately spent a long time in jail and, although, they have received large sums of compensation, to recompense, some are mentally scarred for life.


This boy knew it was wrong in the USA and made his own protest. Listen, but not the children, too horrific.




Also go to http://abolition.org/ and support their campaign as I will be doing with every fibre in my body.
