China’s Supreme People Court (SPC) has affirmed the drug trafficking conviction and death sentence on a Filipino, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Wednesday.

The law is the law and has to be obeyed in Asian countries with the death penalty for drugs offences

I agree .

The Phils govt. would save a lot more Filipino lives if they banned gun ownership in their country.

Absolutely Only yesterday, I was chatting to Elaine about guns and how nearly no one here has a gun, except members of shooting clubs and armed robbers/wannabe gangsta's and Eastern European people smugglers. She thought it was strange that Police and Security Guards aren't armed here.

Maybe if they were the Criminal Justice System and HM Prison Service would be less of a burden on the taxpayer. It always makes my day when I hear of armed robbers being shot dead or car thieves ploughing into a wall

Then we taxpayers just end up footing the bill for the 5-year long enquiry.

Can't win.

I believe the way we do things here is the right way, with Armed Response Units deployed as and when required. Rather that than the Wild West ways of the USA.
