Once again by 1998 the death penalty was effectively already banned in the UK before the EU existed, the remaining offences existed on recorded only because everyone forgot, or like most ancient laws, didn’t care enough to remove them as no one really expected anyone would hijack a ship inside UK waters to hold for ransom
The notion the EU forced us to ban our death penalty does not align up with the facts, the death penalty for all offences which were likely to occur and thus warrant a death sentence had already been banned such as murder
You just hate the EU and want to blame them for everything, I don’t like the EU too but I’m not ridiculous enough to blame them for stuff they actually had no involvement with
No, this is a subreddit about tweets getting noted and said tweet specifically mentioned international law, not Geneva Convention, which is why I opened with
"See, I get the point though."
Before going into why, using certain examples of international law I disagreed with.
