There are lot of people this morning saying that one of Jamie Bulger's killers being

re-imprisoned for possession of child porn is evidence of why we should have the death pelanty.

This mystifies me. He was 11 when he committed murder. Are they actually suggesting we should've hanged an 11 year-old child?

I must admit I waver on the death penalty thing. I can see the arguments for and against, but am ultimately repulsed by many of its advocates' apparent bloodlust. I suppose that I ultimately am sufficiently squeamish and liberal to feel that it just isn't the sort of thing a civilised society ought to be doing.

Obviously, I make an exception for people who don't indicate at roundabouts. I would personally shoot them in the back of the neck and sleep peacefully.

As a punishment it does fit the crime on occasion all the same. Your female sense of squeamishness does not come into it as you don’t have to stand and watch it, a public beheading as such.

Fúck them, ****s at the bar ordering coffee and then paying by card.

Oh, yes. People who order coffee in pubs would definitely get the old 'Genickschuss' as well. But that's pure, legitimate fury. It's the cold-blooded judicial type of killing I find distasteful.

More seriously, the aptness of the punishment is less important to me than what it does to the society and people who endorse it.

The death penalty is alive and kicking (as such) in the USA and there is a very rounded society.

Paying by card can be quicker than with cash these days. Yesterday I bought something for £1, had no change and would have had to split a 20. TAP with a card, job done.

If you read my proposal you will see I am not suggesting we outlay the practice of tapping.

Apology accepted.

Ftr I don’t tap.

I've recently got Apple Pay on my phone which in theory should allow me to use my phone to tap into public transport, pay for things, etc. I'm not sure why but I've not yet summoned the courage to use it.

I blame the pub for selling coffee. If you offer ****ery, you attract ****s.

For paying by card, see Sir C's excellent point below. THe only reason I tap in a pub is precisely because it is quicker. I like to keep the service moving, for everyone's sakes.
