Well, why not!

It’s something which certain people have been yelling about for ages – a wet week or month in the stocks for those who go out of their way to deserve it, like persistent burglars and politicians who lie their head off all the time.
    It was falling over in amazement time to read the Dominic Lawson page in the Daily Mail and find out that whilst the pillory has been junked, the use of stocks is still available as a punishment.
    If we didn’t have such a crap government, it would be a new Golden Age for the builders of stocks!
