Go, And Sin No More

My view on capital punishment, like my view on nuclear weapons, is that of Enoch Powell. Its locus classicus specifically concerns a woman taken in adultery.

But the luvvies are really objecting to a state, as such, which expresses in statute its disapproval of adultery, as our own rightly used to do both of adultery and of desertion when, although not in themselves illegal, they were nevertheless recognised as grounds for divorce.

And we hear nothing from them against the punishments meted out for this same offence by the backward, misogynistic, Jew-hating, anti-Christian despots who wish their American satrapy to nuke an emerging democracy with a high culture, with more women than men at university, and with reserved parliamentary representation for Jews, Armenians and Assyrians.
