Obviously such an appeal would certainly happen (unless the defendent was especially suicidal...), so the death penalty would *never* take place, evn if it was passed. So while technically the death penalty was allowed, it was, to all intents and purposes symbolic, as it could never be enforced.

Would a failed suicide bomber not want the death penalty to achieve martyrdom?

Can someone tell me what the British public has done to deserve to get murdered?

Eat pigs.

And Being an Australian Citizen fighting against Australian Allies then he should be executed

The rule of law applies even in wars.

That's why we have things like the Geneva Convention, the ICC, and all those other pesky international rules and regulations.

Their logic is not our logic.

They are, but the UK allows any kind of riff raf in. People preaching to young influential boys telling them they will have a million virgins waiting for them on the other side.

No? he's saying the govermnet got it wrong and could do again so you can't just trust them there has to be a trial.

Right well the next time there is a plot to blow up a plane im glad to know their are a whole load of people out there going 'Sure, he looks like a terrorist, acts like a terrorist, was heard talking about being a terrorist, may be carrying explosives, but hey, lets give him the benefit of the doubt, innocent until proven guilty and all that, and see what happens.

If you dont have faith in this governments ability to protect us, then get out.

No No we cant do that.
We need to give them a trial and prove they are guilty before we can do that.
We dont want to make a mistake if they arnt guilty after all

First off don't live in fear, you are millions of times more likely to be hurt or killed by something other than a terrorist.

The British public don't meet the ideals of a very tiny group of religious extreemists....simple as that.

Regardless of the outcome, both of the men involved in that were pure scum.

So what you want is a police state basically. Give up our freedoms that our ancestors fought for, so that the government can 'protect us' - like 1930s Germany.

Please explain your obsession with killing people and not giving them a fair trial, I am just amazed.

Exactly what freedoms does inspecting people of suspensions of terrorism take away?
Really? Come on give me a list of what we would lose?

No, i want people to quit whining because at the end of the day, the truth will come out. Let them get on with their jobs and stop the witch hunt.

Me too. He has more in common with the people he hates than he realises. How ironic
