What to do with Abu Qatada?

[Spymaster]

Sorry in that last paragraph are you saying you Favour the reintroduction of capital punishment?

Probably not as it's been practiced thus far, but within a revised legal framework. Of course.

Probably not as it's been practiced thus far, but within a revised legal framework. Of course.

Why?

 

[Spymaster]

Why?

Because some crimes warrant it.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Because some crimes warrant it.

Such as?

When you say 'not as it's been practiced thus far' what novel method do you have in mind?

 

[Pickman's model]

Such as?

Impersonating spymaster

 

[cdg]

Because some crimes warrant it.

Which crimes? Would you volunteer as hangman if it were to be introduced?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Would you volunteer as hangman if it were to be introduced?

Yes, he would!

 

[Spymaster]

Such as?

The really nasty stuff.

 

[cdg]

The really nasty stuff.

So shoplifting, trespass, prostitution etc.

I'm not so much referring to the method of execution, long drop would work fine, but the legal system by which someone is condemned to death.

 

[Spymaster]

So shoplifting, trespass, prostitution etc.

No. Murder would have to be involved, and then not even for all murders.

Shoplifters and trespassers should just be flogged.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

No. Murder would have to be involved, and then not even for all murders.

Could go the US route and reserve it for black people?

 

[Pickman's model]

The really nasty stuff.

Bankers and politicians then

 

[Spymaster]

Could go the US route and reserve it for black people?

That would be unreasonable.

 

[Spymaster]

Bankers and politicians then

Those that commit certain murders. Definitely.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

That would be unreasonable.

Yeah, the US is less racist now. These days execution is open to the mentally ill and poor of all races.

Anyway, if you re-introduce it here, how can you enjoy news like today with Mark Bridger geting slashed across the throat.

This bloodlust of yours is getting out of hand, Bahnhof.

 

[Spymaster]

Well this is a complete nonsense of a crappy old clichéd question.

If I say no, what does that prove? There are many jobs that I wouldn't want to do that I still believe are necessary.

I'm just trying to gauge how much of a bad person I think you are.

You're new to this then?

 

[cdg]

You're new to this then?

What? Is spymaster known?

 

[Citizen66]

What? Is spymaster known?

He hasn't shifted from this position in, ooooh, twelve years?

 

[cdg]

He hasn't shifted from this position in, ooooh, twelve years?

No point challenging him then really.

 

[Citizen66]

No point challenging him then really.

He'd only enjoy it.

More akin to responsibly disposing of dog shit really, Dotski.

for the past 30 odd years the UK itself has implemented the Diplock court system in the north of Ireland for political cases . No jury, just a judge . Irish government does the same with the SCC , except theyve 3 nodding dogs...sorry judges . And a 99.9 percent conviction rate .

ergo its perefectly normal and not a practice confined to the fuzzy wuzzies off in johnny foreigner land .

Well people were trying to kill members of jurys so fairly understanable
