A UKIP MEP desperate to make a name for herself demanded yesterday that the death penalty be reinstated exactly 50 years after Britain’s final execution.

Loudmouthed Louise Bours demanded criminals be killed in an outburst designed to spark controversy on the macabre anniversary.

But her call was dismissed by human rights campaigner Frances Cook, who told the Star: “Some random Ukip MEP ranting about it not going to get anywhere.”
