What the petition asks

Bring back the death penalty. The death penalty should be an option for child killers, convicted terrorists, mass murderers, serial rapists and paedophiles Only one appeal should be allowed which must be lodged and heard within 6 months of conviction.

The recent issues in the UK with child killers grooming gangs, knives crime also terrorism. Reintroducing the death sentence is crucial in our society in our opinion, this in order to set an example and teach the populace that such heinous crimes are not tolerated in the United Kingdom. As a lot of people are disrespecting the law and the authorities.
