Rejected petition death penalty restored

More details

We believe that the death sentence should be restored back in the UK after witnessing the terrible murder of lee rigby.
Unfortunatley now days people who commit murder are not detered by the sentence handed to them in court as most are let out early , if you take a life you must pay with your own .
It's time the politicians wake up and realise that they are supposed to be there to represent the people and not just make them selves richer by doing their job they were assigned properly
