“You know what though, if the Conservatives or Labour considered bringing back capital punishment due to popular demand, and used the murder of Sarah Payne as an example of why they should, would they be accused of hijacking this?”
I think they would be accused of hijacking something like this for political gain.
I’d hope when the main three parties use a terrible crime like this for political reasons (to support a policy) they’d get the permission of the family first. If not, they should, especially if a member of the family is ill and could damage their health!!!
You know it’s bad enough the media tramples on the privacy of family members in high profile crime case, ALL our political parties should at least tread carefully.
The BNP consistently use images of people who do not support the BNP in their campaign material and in some cases simply lie about a person within a photographs support for the BNP. As they are trying to change public opinion of the British National Party they are not very good at decision making!
At best it makes them appear incompetent and at worst uncaring and disrespectful of others rights : how would the BNP supporters reading this feel if one of their family members died of a violent crime and it was used for political gain by the Conservatives or Labour for a new law you might not support?
BNP supporters here have commented quite a bit saying the BNP are not like the other parties (BNP are supposed to be better), but this sort of thing suggests they are at best just like the other political parties.
