It interprets "Denning said that while hanging was seen as uncivilized, he believed most people would like to see it restored for the premeditated, deliberate killing carried out by IRA bombers. He believed Parliament would never vote to bring it back." in the context of "Response to the Remembrance Day bombing (8 November 1987), quoted in The Times (9 November 1987), p. 2" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
