[kj] OT: UK death penalty/treason

[fluke fluke]

I thought, and still do, that the death Penalty can still be invoked in times of war in the U.K .
   If we are at War , which we currently are, and you commit treason , then you can receive the death penalty

Following on from the comments below, I found this list - some rather surprising:

treason (until 1998),
piracy with violence (until 1998),
causing a fire or explosion in a naval dockyard, ship, magazine or warehouse (until 1971),
espionage[3] (until 1981), and
certain crimes under the jurisdiction of the armed forces, such as mutiny (until 1998).[2]

Death penalty for murder went in 65, abolished fully in 98.
