Capital punishment? Nah! Too quick and too easy for the likes of them!! 

Life imprisonment! and life would mean exactly that, but it would be hard time!    The cell would be bare except for a bog, a bed and a New Testament (No exceptions for other religions or Atheists) and they would be fed basic food (bread and water?  ) and only let out for hard labour. 

They'd have plenty of time to think about their misdeeds..... 

He's already sponged enough off the state. Why should he continue to be a burden on the country. Lock him in a room, let him starve, see if he gets hungry enough to eat his on shit.

Firstly, I am surprised that nobody has started this evil story on this wonderful forum.
Anyway I will kick off,
How come that those a******s can get away with basically killing their own children, all six of them and get max 17 years for the mother and her (friend!) and your man getting more or less the same but with a review in a few years time.
I have something here that would solve the problem in an instant. Eh!! three instances.
These people in my opinion should not be allowed to breath our air.
It goes to show how this once wonderful country of ours has gone down the tubes this past few years.
I am old enough to remember that (ONE) murder in the UK would bring a front page news on most of the national newspapers and bringing a national abhorrence to that particular deed.
Moral compass my arse!!

they were all tried for manslaughter not murder for some reason???...as he started the fire to get a bigger/better council house which in turn murdered 6 young children..as far as i am concerned bring back hanging...he can be the first with the other two following him....chav....as is Council Housed And Vile thats is where the term comes from ...emphasis on the vile

Whether we like it or not .. he started the fire with the intention of "rescuing" the kids to make him look good .. he did NOT start the fire with the intention of killing the kids.

Murder, by definition, is the premeditated intention to kill ... clearly not the case, so the best he could be charged with is manslaughter, where actions (or lack of) cause unintentional death.

The major difference between the majority of decent folks and this "man", and what makes us decent people, is the adherence to the laws of both the land and of humanity, sometimes the results may not be what we wish .. but we abide by, and enforce, those laws.

So in this case the law says manslaughter not murder, and we must accept that or we become like him - self serving and selfish.

I have to agree with this sentiment whether I like it or not the sentences handed down by the judge were the maximum that the guidelines allow.
Phillpot will never get out and his life will be a living hell As for his wife and pal then 17 years serving half inside and half on license is what is allowed.


Personally it is the law that needs changing and none of these low lives should ever see the light of day again 

[albitz]

Agreed.Life should mean life imo.

Find myself agreeing with Tiger for he 2nd time today! Scum like this should be left to rot.

Pretty sure he won't come out alive, the screws warders will leave him in the shower and he will slip over    and she will get sorted by the other women. Well lets hope so.

A well balanced, reasonable, non vigilante post.

Indeed, Prison life for him & for her won't be pleasant at-all.

Nah, I suspect they will be treated like nonces, who are the most hated in prison communities. Thus be segregated for their own protection...  ...and the costs will spiral

I personally know of two nonces in prison and one of them has repeatedly tried to take his own life.  The problem is they keep on bringing him round!!!

I heard on the radio news on my way home from work that the Phillpots received an estimated £55000 in benefits!

I'm willing to bet that not many here are grossing that much ...... let alone receive that as net income.

As I get older I seem to be mellowing on the aspect of the return of hanging . It seems to be a very 19th century act.
However ,after watching several programmes filmed within prison walls over the past couple of years I think a " life sentence ", as in exactly that, would be a dreadful prospect to face .I would add that the United States has a much more punitive regime that I would certainly prefer to see adopted in UK .
I do agree though that the sentences handed down to the three seem to be inordinately lenient under the circumstances and at odds with public opinion .
Anyway, have a wee look at this video which gives a chilling ,matter of fact insight into the act of "death by hanging".
I post it not to try and change anyone's views but just to let you see what's involved.

Three at a time seems rather appropriate in this case

That film was morbidly fascinating!

I read an article about hanging once and it described a prison in England that had got the art of execution down to a fine art.  The condemned mans cell was directly linked to the execution chamber via a concealed door and they once took 7 seconds to hang a man.  That was from the moment the Prison Officers entered the cell, took the man through the secret door and dropped him!!   7 seconds!!!

Nah, sadly not. The £100k a year it will cost to keep him inside will not even make a dent in the £220bn welfare bill.

There isn't an easy answer for your predicament
