The government must allow a peoples vote on the issue of corporal punishment being implimented within the UK due to spiralling acts of serious crimes against it's soveriegn peoples.

More details

Just in 2018 & 2019 we have seen a dramatic increase in violent crimes. For example a 13% rise in the 12 months to June 2018 in crimes involving weapons but not including terrorist attacks. While our Judiciary continue to hand out prison sentences which are not fully served our people's are dying on the streets. We need effective deterrents against these serious crimes, if a life is taken or destroyed by another person then their lives should be forfeit. This should include murder & rape.
