'Civilised democracies remove it [the death penalty] even if public support remains.'
Let me get this right here. I read a sentence wherein ALL logic is absent!
'A civilised society' allows people the freedom to butcher their fellows with no threat to their own life?That is 'civilised'? - A strange usage of the word - particularly against the backcloth of the graph I recently showed of the massive ascent in UK murder rates post 1965 when capital punishment was abolished. TENS of thousands of extra murder victims (literally) since that shameful time do not fit into the definition of 'civilised' then.
How does that work?
As for Ms Moore's logical lapse in her failure to understand the meaning of the word 'democracy' - it simply beggars belief!
