With the heinous murder of Lee Rigby by terrorists, it showed how great the threat to our country really was.
Those who would seek to murder our citizens, Armed Forces and police should face the ultimate sanction.
Furthermore, there is now a fresh threat to our shores from Irish terrorists.
It is time that Capital punishment for the offences of terrorism, murder of Armed Forces and police was brought back on to the statute books.
The evil cowards who cause death and destruction deserve no less
