Returning to Judicial CP makes the Washington Post

We don't seem to have addressed the possibility that some criminals might actually enjoy being caned. I realise that the sensitive folks who frequent this site might find this possibility simply incredible, but ...

We might have to resort to inquisition-style punishments such as 'the comfy chair'!

Another little factoid I found in this mornings W. Post.

And 37 percent of respondents told the Los Angeles Times in 1994 that they thought it was a good idea to cane teen vandals, after an 18-year-old was famously sentenced to a beating in Singapore.

There was no available information on what percentage of Americans think it's a good idea to cane members of Congress — or to abduct them.

It might be more like a rite of passage for gangs, to show how tough you are. With anything like this that seems a good idea, there can be unintended consequences.

Choice 3: Deport them to the UK. In compensation, we could agree to accept the UK's politicians. They would be rendered quite harmless here, since one must normally be a citizen to run for public office.

Generally a good idea Guy, however there are a few of us that have not joined the Looting Loony Brigade YET, and still have enough basic decency to realise what a terrible deal that would be for our colonial cousins. We must advise you before the exchange, to avoid at all costs allowing any of our Hogs access to any Expenses Trough, as they would surely deepen your economic difficulties .
For proof if needed just view our situation, which was brought about by these "Honourable Members" being too busy filing bogus claims to notice that "Rome was burning" around them.
Careful what you wish for, but it is good to know our Atlantic Neighbour is still willing to try and help "The Old Country"

Yes, agreeing to take responsibility for your pols would a terrible sacrifice, but how can we ignore the poetic justice of sending our self-styled "teabaggers" to the mother country where they could be properly "taken in hand" by a people who have been waiting 200+ years for the chance?

After 200+ years of guilty conscience for our imperialist behaviour then, just imagine how long we would have to suffer if we sent these people among you now It would make the deepest Catholic guilt complex seem like a convention for Libertines. I would give it a month and you would be in a worse state than we are now! In fact you would view looting as socially acceptable, because at least that is done in open view and answerable to the law, unlike the Westminster Hill Mob! When this lot get caught with their hands in the cash register they just widen the legislative goalposts to exempt themselves from legal redress! Perhaps we could use both sets of Pols in Afghanistan + Iraq as IED detectors!!!

I have always believed in the public whipping post, for every village, town, or city. Yes, where a judge can sentence a naughty female, to be taken there, have her dress raised waist high, her bloomers, taken down, and upon her bare bottom, thoroughly thrashed, by a birchrod, cane, or whip.

Why not all three? That would teach the little baggage not to litter.
Say, somebody should write a story about that.

Yes, but why let the ladies have all the fun? Is that really fair?
