Petition Bring Back the Stocks and Pillories

More details

After the riots that have spread across London and indeed the country, The youth and criminals of today seem to have no fear and no sense of morals and appear to have an indignation for the laws within this country.
For too long now they have been getting away with light punishment and in some cases not punished at all.
Well I, and indeed many people believe that maybe the re-introduction of an old form of punishment like the stocks and pillories may indeed dispense a swift and instant justice that the citizens of this country would deem fair for many crimes.
Bring this form of punishment back to teach this and future generations that crime does not pay!
