"Currants Bw..."

I'm pretty sure France used the guillotine in my lifetime.
I've heard about this asphyxiation method and know it's pretty controversial. Although as discussed I think any method is pretty controversial

I have only a rough idea of how old you are, but yes the Guillotine was last used in France in 1977 (13 years after the last execution in the UK)

Capital punishment was still used in the old Eastern bloc in countries like Czechoslovakia and Romania (see execution of Nicolae Ceaucescu) up until the collapse of communism in the late eighties/early nineties.

Belarus remains the only European country that still carries out capital punishment.

Hezbollah have spent the last year firing Rockets into Northern Israel, and whilst they were expecting some kind of response from Israel…to have thousands of operatives have their willies blown off, and their senior military command all taken out in targeted air strikes in a period of less than a fortnight…they sure as fuck weren’t expecting that.


Whilst the BBC will report on this without context as a war of aggression, where innocent Lebanese are being murdered. The actual people of Lebanon will be celebrating this in their homes. Of course this doesn’t mean the end of Hezbollah that would involve a war that would take decades to conclude, and really is in no one’s interest to engage in. But it’s a massive humiliation to this Terrorist network far larger in scale than Hamas. And in the confusion, Hezbollah can be safely pushed back out of Southern Lebanon and a buffer zone re-established.

My view on Capital Punishment is that whilst there are people who deserve to die for what they’ve done, the state essentially brings itself down to the level of the criminal by terminating their life.

I think there are rare occasions, where someone has been found guilty of crimes against humanity by an international court that it would be permissible for their life to be forfeit, to say “we cannot and will not share this world with you”

I couldn't agree more with this.

At the risk of putting on my pedant hat, I dont think Thatcher’s plan was to eradicate coal power plants, it was to stop the mining of coal because it had been cheaper to import it for about 50 years.

Yes, yes I know it was just a joke

You’re confusing coal plants with Steel manufacturing
