Rejected petition Keep Capital Punishment Abolished

More details

This petition urges the Government and Parliament not to give in to pressure to restore the death penalty.
The fact that Great Britain does not have a death penalty makes us an incrediblly humane and civilised nation and is something that we British should feel proud of.
Let us not return to the Dark Ages of judicial murder.
If you are concerned that the death penalty could be restored, please sign this petition.
