Rejected petition Bring back flogging, use of stocks and National Service
Rejected on
After recent an rioting and looting throughout England we the undersigned believe it is time to bring back corporal punishment to punish those members of society who refuse to abide by the laws and reasonable behaviour that most of the population assume.
Ideas such as flogging, birching and use of stocks to publicly humiliate people is now needed to return to people to owning their own behaviour.
National service and removal of benefits are also ideas that should now be realistically considered.
