Okay - understood. But I still feel queasy about one man (or woman) deciding whether or not someone should be executed.

That is my issue with capital punishment. In principle I am okay with it but I need to understand the mechanics e.g. who makes the decision.

I also believe the public should have a vote on this and other matters.

That’s too quick for me some serious consideration would need to go into it.

I’d like to see big brother style, plenty of time to get to know and understand each one, 24/7 surveillance would see to it, with somebody voted ‘out’ every now and then. Also, new participants would inevitably be entered from time to time.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Sorry not what I meant. I meant the public should be allowed referendums on important topics e.g. capital punishment / immigration not voting a death sentence ala "the Hunger Games".

As I’ve quoted Malcom x before “why is the head of the snake white”.
Black people don’t mind being called black in my experience. In my younger days we called people half cast as they were mixed race which is a fairly new description. Now that’s derogatory but the police call different colours of people an IC number.
1 is white 2 is mixed race 3 is black 4 is Asian 5 is Far East Chinese, Japanese 6 is Arab or North African 7 is unknown so the descriptors are out there. Would the woke prefer that in normal everyday talk?

Not nearly.

Let’s hope he receives similar treatment in prison.
