BRITISH independent politician Janice Atkinson has demanded the United Kingdom reintroduce the death penalty — for suicide bombers.
“But there is one simple step which we can take now: we must bring back the death penalty.”.
Ms Atkinson once stood for right-wing populist party UKIP, which was one of the key advocates for Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union.
“Then there will be those who say that the death penalty is not a deterrent, that the warped perpetrators want in any case to die,” she told the media.
“I’m not wringing my hands trying to find answers, I’m a politician, it’s my job to come up with answers.”.
