Spoke to my very right wing uncle about this , and  he said he wanted the death penalty for the bloke. Surprised I haven't seen this argument come out

Although if you ask the British people whether capital punishment should be legal or not, it's very close: 48% would support it. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-32061822
