THE EXECUTION OF GARY GLITTER

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Channel 4 tonight

Set in an imaginary Britain in which the death penalty has been re-introduced, this drama confronts the possible consequences of capital punishment when Gary Glitter is put on trial.

my view

he may have done wrongs that can't be put right that I'm not bothered about discussing but I think this program should be based on the same or similar story line but using a factious character, unless he has agreed to be the subject

[DCM]

thats a bit too close to real, as we know, there are some people out there who can't differentiate between real life and tv.... think Gary Glitter has been used, as a ratings bringer.

I personally think alll sex offenders should be sent to the Usa to serve their time in the gay part of the prison. And Im not joking.

i think they should have there bollocks chopped off and left to bleed to death and i'm not joking
and i would gladly use the knife

or some football teams don't get very big crowds so i have a great way to have a sellout every home game.
wheel out the gallows at half time and hang a few
now everyones a winner

It's fiction so they should use fictitious names. The real footage of him doesn't help either. I know it's not real but some people may not. Otherwise it was well made.

well said
you never know today its fiction but tomorrow it may be a reality lets hope

do people really think these people deserve to have any rights?

[b4pete]

I just cant beleive these things go on.
For once Ann Widicome spoke sense
''The society that we live in, that we chose, where children kill each other, where children are raped''
Bring back the death penalty, the disgusting bastards will stop, and if they dont...they will be eradicated one by one.

Notice how the EU tried to protest.....Typical!

[chris brown]

Anne gets loads of things right in my opinion.
Shes not very popular I know but you always get a real honest answer from her and she is very well informed and down to earth.
Heck, you struggle to even get an answer from some people, never mind an informed or down to earth one.

[petemid8]

But was she expressing her actual views or acting for the purposes of the programme?

[b4pete]

Actual Views or Acting?

I think what she said was poignant, and yes I believe those would be her views.

Go on Anne, you old battleaxe!

[ashleyb4]

Bring back national service and the death penelty.

I have talked about this subject with my parents, a few times, and where hanging appears to be good, and my parents grew up with it, they are both against it. Mainly due to the fact, that if the Police get it wrong, and someone is executed, there is no way back, so innocent can be killed too.

[b4pete]

How old are you dude?

[c0sie]

Oh god, a thread full of people saying how they would 'kill em and string em up and cut their nuts off'.

What has happened to this place

Me, I am 38, I have no problem with the Death Penalty, chemical or physical castration, but only if there is absolutely no doubt as to the verdict. But as we have seen, over the past 20 years, the amount who have been found to be innocent but been imprisoned. Don't get me wrong, I am no woolly liberal, but I am no 'hang them high' either.

What you will end up, is like the USA, people on Death Row, there for years and years, constantly appealing, running up the costs to the country, as the Judicial system will have to way up each appeal, etc, etc.

[c0sie]

Whats a "wooly liberal"?
Am I one of those? lol

I quite agree about national service. Particularly considering I am too old to do it now

[DCM]

Well, here is the conundrum, you conscript people, then you want them to fight, it don't work, that is why, when Argentina invaded the Falkland's and lost, the conscripts just didn't have the stomach for a big fight.

Now, if you were talking on the lines of, you have left school, not gone into firther education, not found a job in 6 months, and have no caring responsibility, then a UK based 'Homeland Workforce' would be ideal, paid more than if they were on the dole, and tasked for doing things, like improving your local community, would be an ideal thing to do.

I did 4 years of compulsory national service and loved it. Jumping out of planes, playing with explosives and guns. Totally awesome!

Child molesters should be shot. No need to be sentimental. I don't what the big deal is, there are too many humans on the planet as it is breathing and poluting my air so be gone with them. We as humans do some horrible things so ridding the world of one more peado isn't going to make any difference at all.

Death penalty, absolutely. We have 6.8 billion people on this planet already so what if one innocent hangs every now and then in the big scheme of things? If it's really such a big deal then sort out the OAPs dying from cold in the winter and feel better about it.
