Rejected petition Reinstate capital punishment in the United Kingdom for murders and child killers

Give the British Citizens a chance to have a say in this petition and see what the people say. I would like the Government to bring back capital punishment for those who have committed the offence of mass murder or have murdered a child in order to punish & decrease the number of murders in the UK

More details

The British Government should debate the issue and ask the PUBLIC if they would bring back the death penalty in the UK to deter murder and decrease the number of potential murderers.I believe capital punishment is the only appropriate punishment and deterrent as it should be a eye for a eye, arm for a arm.

Murder is the worst kind of crime, especially against a child. Moreover give the system the option to deal with murder, and certain other offences, by sentencing dangerous criminal to death.
