Comment on BNP Policies : BNP Crime and Justice Policy by Sarah.

I understand what you’re saying but think when you hear on the news things like those 2 boys who tortured another 2 boys nearly to death – there’s a calling to “bring back the birch”.

When Ian Huntley was convicted of murdering Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells and before that Roy Whiting raping and murdering 8 year old Sarah Payne – people start saying “should bring back hanging”.

It’s hard to disagree when you have crimes this heinous and that some people are actually capable of carrying out these sorts of crimes.

Living here in ME, they still have amputation, they still have the death sentence and they still have lashes. I have heard in the 5 years I’ve been out of the UK one case where lashes were given (to a prostitute and her client) where I live. Death and amputation is extremely rare and prison sentences are carried out to the full. It’s safe to walk the streets, no muggings, no knife crime or children murdering each other. Well I voted with my feet in choosing to live here in a Muslim state than the UK.

I remember when the law banned the use of corporal punishment, I was about 13 and we (myself and classmates) counted down the days to give our teachers a bit of cheek knowing they couldn’t touch us!

I also remember an absolute toe-rag of a kid being hauled out of class and into the corridor for the strap, the door was left open so we could all hear and my god this tough little git screamed his head off, we were all so shocked and determined it was never going to happen to us. It never happened to me.

Yes, perhaps the BNP policy was extreme but how do you bring a society back from the depths it has sunk to quickly and effectively and put back “consequence” into the choices people make in committing crimes against others.
