Rubbish. There was no Homicide Act 1956; the Homicide Act 1957 divided murder into capital and non-capital. The Act which abolished the rope was in 1965 and you can read the debates from beginning to end without seeing a promise that life would mean life. But then, why let the facts get in the way of a goold old Victor Meldrew rant?
