I am of course opposed to the Death Penalty. It is a logical extension of my Catholicism, Christianity…that we should be Life-Enhancing rather than Life Taking. Yet it is not easy to have any kinda sympathy for the drug courier who will possibly be executed in China tomorrow.
Of course he is not photogenic and is of Asian origin, therefore the British tabloids will not rush to his aid. Much better if “he” was a pretty blonde female schoolteacher from the Cotswolds and tearfully protesting that she was duped by her lover.
Sorry……no sympathy………if Britons, Irish, australians, Americans whatever want to take on high risk criminality smuggling drugs in or out of China, Thailand, wherever……then they should face the consequences.
