Rejected petition Demand that the Government re-instate the death penalty following the murder of the British Soldier in Woolwich

More details

I would like to see the Government re-instate the death penalty in the light of what has happened to the British Soldier in Woolwich.
We need a judicial system that takes action against terrorists who commit heinous crimes such as the Murder committed yesterday on the streets of our Capital City.
Capital Punishment should once again be debated for crimes of this magnitude.
I demand the British Government debate this issue.
