@cgledhill: Lots of English villages still have their stocks and/or pillories. These are old punishment devises used for minor criminal offences. This is a particularly good example dating from about 1775. By about 1870s public shaming punishments became seen as cruel and ineffective. #History #historytok
Even this shitty device is older than the United States!

Bring them back. Get Tommy Robinson into them so we can pelt him with tomatoes 🍅

There are strong arguments to be made that these should be brought back into use.

The ones on my village are protected and fenced off. Very well cared for. I think some local society needs to do the same for these

I have to admit, I was skeptical at first but once you started pointing out its features and explaining the backstory, I was hooked. How on earth did you even come across that?

A really efficient way to conduct law-enforcement. Why not bring it back?
