That far east they don't actually realise that capital punishment has been outlawed in most of the civilised world

They still await the arrival of the pony express once a week

It's a method for killing people. I wonder if the government will be as strict on arms sales abroad as they are a tiddly amount of these gallows?

Now his error was in not coming up with say, a more efficient cluster bomb or compact high yield nuclear weapon.
Those are, of course, quite desirable.

Let's respect the guy. He has made more money than most of us put together and he still has the same beard as a homeless alcoholic

I know some of the African countries are a bit backward when it comes to technology, but I'm pretty sure most of them could nail 3 pieces of wood together to make their own gallows rather than paying £10,000 for them ???

I see that the government is hiding behind the Eu and letting them make our laws as usual!

You'd certainly think so, but whether they have the technology to make 'Multi-Hanging Execution Systems is another matter!

I do find that a bit macabre though, it's like some fairground attraction that drives around the country.

I suppose the fact that its designed to be mounted on the back of a lorry doesn't exactly detract from that image either!

he is a marketing genius!

the gallows would have to do a serious amount of work to pay for itself in comparison to the more conventional well made bullet! (how many bullets can you get for £10,000 ...I should imagine a lot!)

Dont we still make landmines in the UK ...it appears the govt have forgotten about them and picked on the loan businessman ..and finally the minister of agriculture did state when he cut farmers subsides ...that farmers should find another way to maximise the profits from their farms!

To be honest I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he is doing his sales pitch

The gallows is a powerful symbol though against dissenting citizens
