Restore the death penalty for murderers, paedophiles, rapists and terrorist
The aim of this petition is to gain enough signatures for Parliament to hold a debate on the restoration of capital punishment in the United Kingdom.
We are forever hearing of serious criminals receiving weak prison sentences and 'special treatment,' but the truth is, the majority of the British public believe that scum like these are not welcome in our society.
I understand some people are against capital punishment for a number of reasons, but with today's DNA advancements and forensic techniques, it is extremely unlikely to give somebody a false conviction and even if there were to be the odd false conviction, the courts could be held accountable for that.
If you believe in a safer Britain with tougher punishments, sign this petition. Just think of the future your children and your grandchildren face and if they were to be victims of a horrendous crime.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
