Here is an article discussing the legality of whole life sentences against the background of the Human Rights Act. http://www.guardian.co.uk/law/2012/d...e-human-rights
Its a more complex subject than that as Europe tells us how to run our country and that gets up a lot of peoples noses. For me with its an example of the need for the death penalty. How can you control violent men who have nothing to lose. Keep them in a strait jacket 24/7. By their killing of others they show they have no respect for life and other people. Dispose of them as you would a dangerous dog.
But thats me.
