Little angry Newtown girlie men. Insecure, always in a gang because they can’t function outside of one.

the EU is against proper punishment for murderers

All these kids that want to fight get them out to Afghanistan and let them mix it up with the Taliban! last about 5 minutes I wager, Harold and Andy the Shropshire Star has a Newtown area edition but I suspect you know this! perhaps they should have Powys Star :-)

sick people need harsh punishments, the community needs to see visibly they have p[aid their dues to society, id like to see hard labour, or a good beating for these people, in keeping with sharia law, im not saying stoing them but there is a lot of good ideas there you know about physically and tangibly paying back for your crime, and sharia would be good in this case, we could for example make them pay for their sins through toil and pain, they could for example be made to pick litter, clean toilets or do some really physcially tiring dirty work for the public, though tory boy and his right wing nutter friends do not have my backing for state sponsered murder
