Death Fennel Tea?

There’s been a sudden call for reinstating the death penalty, specifically in the form of a petition to bring back hanging. Fuck knows why this has suddenly happened. Maybe it has something to do with English people’s passive aggressiveness reaching boiling point; legal murder experienced vicariously is the passive aggressive’s ultimate wet dream. Unsurprisingly it was presented by right-wing poster boy Guido Fawkes.

In an article about it in the Belfast Times, it says the following…

Sir George Young warned that it would damage democracy to ignore strong opinions among members of the public “or pretend that their views do not exist”.

What bullshit. Popular consensus on a shit ton of other issues has been ignored. Badger cull. Tuition fees. Tax evasion. A man like Sir George Young just cares about bringing back death as a sport. Brutal, brutal sport. Like foxhunting.
