Hankering for the death penalty may get the party’s deputy chair attention, but it won’t attract working-class voters with genuine problems
Lee Anderson thinks we should bring back the death penalty. Because say what you like about hanging, but dead people don’t commit crimes.
Sometimes, admittedly, it turns out they didn’t even commit the crimes they were actually executed for, but Anderson seems to think there are ways around that. He also believes too many food bank users are wasting money on fags, booze and Sky TV, and that the real problem is people not knowing how to cook. He once suggested nuisance tenants should be made to live in tents and pick potatoes all day and … well, you get the gist.
