Penistone999 Â Â 10 #98 Posted July 19, 2016 No. We don't. It's been completely abolished. We held onto it for special cases of high treason until 1998, but we haven't actually used it since 1964. Â Unfortunately . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Brian Equato   10 #99 Posted July 19, 2016 Britain had one official working gallows up until the early 90's at Wandsworth, regularly tested, presumably by trained executioners, it was demolished in 2006. There is another functioning gallows that is a rather unusual tourist attraction at the old Bodmin prison, you can see the video of a demonstration of it working on youtube.

Ted Heath   10 #102 Posted July 20, 2016 Surely the question should be, Should we have the death penalty?  My answer is yes. In certain categories,  1. The murder of any member of the emergency services, armed services or any public servant whether in their line of duty or because of their Job.  2. The murder of any person for sexual gratification.  3. The murder of any person where it is intended to prevent that person giving evidence or information relating to any criminal offence.  4. Extreme cruelty to any person under the age of 16, sexual exploitation of any person under 16. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
