Tell that to Ruth Ellis (1955) and Gwynne Evans and Peter Allen (1964). The death penalty was abolished in the UK in 1965, and I believe it was still legal in France till 1981.Originally Posted by struth

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I'm a bit behind the times aren't I?
I thought it might have been one of those anomalies on the statute book but I remember a debate about whether parliament should allocate the time to remove them all a few years ago, so it might have been done by now.

Piracy With Violence, and Treason still carried the death penalty until 1998 along with the below military offences:
serious misconduct in action;
assisting the enemy;
obstructing operations;
giving false air signals;
mutiny or incitement to mutiny; and
failure to suppress a mutiny with intent to assist the enemy.
The death penalty was abolished for those offences in the Human Rights Act 1998.
