Krank-le, it may not have been 'abolished' until 1972 (not sure you're right about that, but I'll take your word for it), but it was never used in the UK in the 20th century. When we were still so uncivilised as to have the death penalty (until the mid-60s), we hanged our criminals. We are far better as a nation now, and state-sponsored murder is no longer part of our penal system.

BTW Krank-le, you need help. Seek therapy right away.
