The argument in favour of capital punishment is not often made nowadays by senior politicians in this country, and for good reason.It has been 58 years since we abolished the death penalty, consigning it to the murky depths of mid-20th-century history, along with polio and pea-souper fogs.The UK is also a signatory to the European convention of human rights, which in 1983 enacted protocol 6, which prohibits capital punishment in peacetime.
