My Question About Jihadists Finding Themselves In Very Hot Water Seems To Have Vanished.

Why?

[HansUrbancka]

If it has vanished then I would think that it has been removed by Editorial staff. Perhaps it was deemed by an Editor or Moderator to be too controversial for the columns of AB.

Hans.

[sandyRoe]

That'll be it.

sandy, any update on the beard ?

[sandyRoe]

It's coming along nicely, Anneasquith. Ran a comb through it for the first time the other day. TY for asking. ☺

You did mention boiling alive. That was a punishment introduced under Henry VIII specifically for poisoners. It proved so sickening, even for Tudor stomachs, that only three people were executed in this manner before the Act was repealed.

[sandyRoe]

Worse even that setting someone on top of a bonfire?

[anneasquith]

maybe due a trim soon sandy ?

[BlackadderV]

Yes, infinitely worse. Those who were lucky would suffocate before the flames reached them and in some cases a sympathetic executioner would quietly strangle the victim beforehand.

Your posting at 22.54 is making me think that perhaps you have changed your religion and have grown a beard.?:-)

I am now off to bed. Good night.......Hans.☺☺☺

Some people have all the luck.

[sandyRoe]

Did friends of the condemned not need to bribe the executioner to ensure he was sympathetic and merciful?
