Rejected petition Restore Capital Punishment in the UK

More details

Reinstate capital punishment for Murder, Rape, Terrorism and Paedophiles. Currently it costs £800 a week to keep 1 person in prison, having the death penalty will save tax payers money as less will be needed for prisons. There should at least be a referendum on whether the death penalty should be reintroduced in the UK.
