[kj] OT: UK death penalty/treason

[fatpotanga]

Following on from the comments below, I found this list - some rather  
surprising:

treason (until 1998),
piracy with violence (until 1998),
causing a fire or explosion in a naval dockyard, ship, magazine or  
warehouse (until 1971),
espionage[3] (until 1981), and
certain crimes under the jurisdiction of the armed forces, such as  
mutiny (until 1998).[2]
