As I said earlier I have very strong views on this for the simple reason that some years ago something truly dreadful happened to a close member of my family (which I am not going to go into here) and the person/animal was never caught.
The victim obviously suffers but so does everyone around them as we were all deeply traumatised by what happened for a long time afterwards.
Now if some people here think that prison was best for Shipman and his ilk then thats up to you but it doesn’t cut it for me and what I would say to you is walk a mile in another persons shoes and see how they fit for size before you make value judgements about their views.

That Huntley thing and also the Carr thing should both die. That way it would save alot of money to the British taxpayer – who has to pay to keep the Huntley thing in luxury and keep the Carr thing protected. It would be much better value if some of the taxpayers money were spent on electrocuting scum (the electric chair is preferable to lethal injection, because when it is done well it causes hell of alot more pain and suffering to the scum:D )

As you may have gathered from another thread Comet I am with you in your views. People here are publically beheaded after noon prayers on a Friday. As a westerner, you are pushed to the front of the crowd because they think we are soft on crime. Up until a few years ago a nominated relative could carry out the execution with the sword but a permanent executioner was appointed after one relative made a bad job of it. Neither is there a long drawn out appeals procedure. A case I remember well was a 6 year old girl was kidnapped one night, taken into the desert and raped, Instead of killing her he left her and once the sun came up she would have died in no time. Quite by chance a bedouin in a truck saw her wandering around and took her into town. The animal who raped her had been stopped at a check point and the bedouin arrived with the girl while they were asking him what he was doing and where he was going. The next day in court the judge found him guilty and his words are worth quoting “You have brought chaos on earth and it will no longer be tolerated, you will be beheaded on Friday” and he was.
Islam may have its faults but they have got that right in my opinion.

I have 4 hours (from 2 till 6) in the afternoon with nothing else to do so I use the weights in a gym on a compound here. I don’t know what age you are but I am 52 in November and I used to do Powerlifting when I was in my late teens and early twenties with the result that my knees and back are now f*****. I can still bench press 140 kilos but I can’t run up the street. I enjoy it still though but my advice would be to join a gym where you will get encouragement and help from others.

I remember that!! They did a couple of short flights during the show from Fairford out over Bristol and back for 35 quid I think it was. I didnt know whether to give it a bash or not and now I could kick myself for not doing it

Yeah his shows are crap but from where I am sitting some of what he says makes sense.
