    If a society wants to retain the death penalty maybe the executioner should be chosen at random from that society, similar to jury service. Any one person only ever conducting one execution. Sounds fare to me. As Albert Pierrepoint said in an interview after his retirement, “The police, the judiciary and the public all stepped back and left it up to me”. Another comment I heard from an interview with a prison chaplain was how the process of execution left all involved feeling “sullied”.

    Back in 1982 in the backstreets of Avignon I saw a woman aged 60 - 65 years old who had a Swastika burnt into her forehead, as in done with what must have been a branding iron. She looked as if she'd spent a lifetime of unhappiness as she possessed a look of immense misery. It wasn't a tattoo but a deeply scar that looked as if it was to the bone but had grown over with skin. It was and remains, some forty plus years later, the single most horrifying thing I have ever seen.

    Katherine was a young girl, who was let down by her Aunt who whilst Katherine was in her care, did not take proper control of Katherine. There is no allegedly necessary here, she was caught red handed....she paid the price, rightly or wrongly, for having loose morals, and the price, especially as Queen, was death. This was the law of the time, she knew the risks, and paid with her life, sad, but not unfair, you live and die by the laws in place at the time you lived. C’est la vie...ou la mort.

I certainly believe that inevitably Henry and other Kings and Queens both past and present will come face to face with and bow down to the One and only True King of both Heaven and Earth and Reigning Monarch of the Universe and they will give an account before his Throne as will we all. He removes kings and sets up kings,' For His Dominion is an Everlasting Dominion He gives wisdom to wise men, and knowledge to the understanding. Daniel 2:21

Richard’s defence was that he had simply put ‘Fart Powder’ in the broth for a joke. Whether or not this was true doesn’t matter. I just love the idea that fart powder was readily available for purchase in Tudor England and even then everyone loved a fart gag :)
