The pompous declarations of of the so called church leaders continue to leave me puzzled. how did this man conclude that hanging as a method of state imposed execution is heinous while the lethal injection is not?. I read Pierpoint's autobiography many years ago, the last British official hangman executed dozens of convicted criminals. If i remember correctly it takes less than 45 seconds for the prisoner to be removed from the holding cell to be dead from a broken neck. Compare this to the slow choking horror of the gas chamber, the 30 minutes that it takes to strap down attach electrodes and jolt a condemned prisoner with 50,000 volts; sometimes it taking 2 to 3 repetitions to kill. Lethal Injections can take 20 minutes or more to kill after the insertion of the intravenous needle. If I am going to be executed by the State then hanging will be my first choice.
How refreshing to see Her majesty honour a person who actually deserves it, a person who is not a political crony, an ex-politico, or a political party campaign donor.
This is simple; close it down. how many cities and large towns around the world have their own airline and military? None, and this is the size of our country, the size of a large town or very small city in most other countries. Close it down, we cannot afford it. Forget the ridiculous national pride reasoning to keep it going.
If i was the Minister I would not waste my time talking to these overpaid entitlement minded state employed workers either. Most of these union presidents just seem to want to become politicians and have to work even less and get paid even more.
ZNS is an irrelevant, unproductive costly drain on our country's very limited resources. Close it down and get all those entitlement minded state employed workers off the government payroll.
Ridiculous posturing from yet another person who has achieved little but thinks that they would make a good member of parliament, wrongly in my humble opinion.
I believe Ms. Wilson is trying hard to get elected. I also understand that the teaching that she did was Gym teaching, which does not require much in the way of cognitive reasoning. It shows.
