Do you mean "Stocks" as in Stocks the town square with a basket of rotten veg handy?

I'm all for it.

That and the lash.

The lash has evolved, Don.

Most people go out on it now.

Stocks

Hanging, drawing and quartering

The iron maiden

The rack

Should all be brought back.

You see how many scrotes reoffend after a spell on the rack...

And Keel hauling.

Always thought that sounded a giggle. Bit of a cross between bungy jumping and snorkeling.

As long as it’s not for any offence I’m likely to commit.

Not necessarily the stocks, but chain gangs for scrotes, and they'd have to wear flourescent jackets with 'OFFENDER' written on the back of them, highly publicly, as they toil away to repaint the wall they ruined with grafitti the week before.

They'd think it was a new fashion, and Gap would be selling them within a week!

The Stocks in my opinion is a great way to allow the scrotes who offend this week to be dealt with by the scrotes who offend next week and vice versa.There could be stocks at all football grounds and home and away fixtures arranged for football hooligans, even a league and who knows European events. Friday and saturday night special sittings where people caught spewing all over the place could be put in the stocks and other people could spew on them. The possibilities are endless and should eventually turn into a deterrent rather than a punishment. Repeat offenders and those found to be enjoying it could be formed into chain gangs and made to break rocks at the side of the motorway.
And what the hell is Community service, I never see anyone doing it, or maybe I do and dont realise, so what is the point. Give them lime green dayglo uniforms with criminal on the back so we all know who they are.

I agree with most of that, and the posts before. Public humiliation is one of the few things that would really work IMHO.

It would be difficult to look tough while being pelted with rotten veg.

That and the lick 'o th' cat me hearties....I'll wager those hands have never...etc...etc...

Community Service does exist. A friend of mine was rescued by some people doing C.S. when she got her car stuck in mud. She nearly sh@ herself when 8 Gorillas got out of the back of the transit to help her. Her car was so stuck she had to climb out of the window because the mud was half way up the door.

She would probably have been less alarmed if the gentlemen had been wearing dayglo suits so she would at least have known they had her best interests in mind
