P.S. The last execution in the UK was in 1964. That's quite a bit more recent than 100 years ago. They've also had legislative efforts to bring back capital punishment with significant backing as recently as the 90s and polls showing at high as 70% support for reintroduction of the death penalty for particularly heinous murders as recently as 2009. Most scientific polls still show a small majority (51% and 53%) supporting reintroduction as late as 2022. We're not as different as you might think.
Yes, Jimmie, really, and that's right.
