He’d have gone to an age appropriate prison. You do realise that there’s plenty of inmates in prison with learning issues. Broadmoor is for dangerous prisoners with severe mental health issues. It’s not a case of you couldn’t pass your 11+ so it’s straight of to a secure mental health unit for you.

Seriously. What planet do you live on? Nicolae Ceaușescu’s Romania?

Of course I don’t. I think he’d have been convicted of being an accomplice and been out in two years at considerably less cost than wrongly convicting him of murder, sending him to the gallows and a drawn out and costly appeal after he’d died from hanging.

Would he? Doubtful. And if he had have been it wouldn’t have taken 40 years to overturn his wrongful conviction by today’s standards.

He wouldn’t have been in broadmoor for the rest of his life. The guy who actually committed the crime was out in 10 years. Derek Bentleys wrongful conviction cost the British taxpayer 40 years of appeals after his death and the cost of having his body exhumed from the prison cemetery to be...

Cheaper? Try telling Dereck Bentley that. It cost him his life and ultimately the Tax payer millions in appeals after his death to get initially a pardon and then his conviction overturned. There’s a reason why the appeal process is now exhaustive and it’s so you don’t wrongly send a 19 year...

How’s a system that hasn’t been in place for half a century relevant? You’ll be brining back public stonings next. The country has changed massively in that period, if capital punishment ever did come back it absolutely will have an appeal process.

So who then? If you want a proper discussion about it you’ve got to factor everything in.

We don’t have the death penalty in the U.K., we do have an appeal system though. The US has the death penalty and an appeal system. Who else are you going to compare with if you want a full and factual discussion on the cost of keeping serial killers alive vs an alternative?

Chicken feed compared to the money he needlessly spanked on the Boris Busses redesign.

Good old wiki Grendull

I’m reminded of someone referring to Theresa May becoming PM by the brexiteers stepping aside as TM being offered up as a pallet cleanser to cleanse all the Brexit shit. Here’s a thought. What if the Brexit shit sandwich is so big and putrid that one pallet cleanser wasn’t enough and Boris has...

Wasn’t Arizona officially called today? Surely that on its own has ended the nonsense and any sane person would now... ...ahhh. Forgot. It’s Trump we’re talking about.

Tweet of the day goes too...

Wouldn’t surprise me. There was plenty of talk that it was Gove and his circle.

Not so sure. Gove might be in a precarious position though as this is his circle of friends that are going not Boris’.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Good one.

Best week of 2020 by a country mile.

Some talk that without Cummings the government is going to become a rudderless ship. I mean, fucking hell. The only effective use of the rudder in the last year is to perform u turns, aside from that it’s the epitome of a rudderless ship. Maybe Tories should think before they open their mouths...
