After discovering the legal loophole, one town councillor is envisioning a potential tourist attraction.
Generally, we think of public punishment as a relic of the past — a style of justice rendered obsolete by the development of the modern prison system which took criminal justice out of the town square and moved it behind bars. But this week, Thame town councillor David Bretherton has discovered that although public punishments have fallen out of favor over the past 200 years, they haven’t been entirely scrubbed from the legal code.
And since it’s perfectly legal, Bretherton thinks that his Oxfordshire town should bring back the stocks.
Yes, yes bring back the stocks! Put the Clintons, Obamas, Kennedys, Jacksons and everyone else who deserves it in them.
Public stocks are a good idea.
Having a Democrat spend a day being spit on VS weeks of 3 hots and a cot makes sense.
Anyone up for a baloot toss. As well as rotten tomatoes etc. etc. And can they finish it off with a good tar and feathering to boot.

American bankers still do that, and the result is pretty much the same.
