But the length and complexity of the legalities involved in sending somebody to death row, then the lengthy (and likely) appeals process would see the cost spiral so I bet the overall cost of a death sentence wouldn't be too different from a life custodial sentence

the only financial winners from reintroduction would be the lawyers, not the taxpayer

Not to mention the possibility of a huge civil suit from the families of any people executed in the wrong.

I'd go the quick route like many parts of the world, none of that years on death row the yanks do.

the lord chancellor's office and the department of public prosecutions has mooted the idea that anyone coming to britain and preaching hate and encouraging terrorism against the country could be charged with treason

treason, if i'm not mistaken, is the only crime which can still carry the death penalty under english law

of course the death penalty would never actually be dished out but it's an interesting point all the same

that was fazed out in 1998 woolly, the death penalty for treason that is.

i think that only killing the monarchy (ie: the queen only), actually carries the death penalty today.
