I'm off to give a talk this afternoon about Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in the UK. First time for a very long time, what with Covid and all the accoutrements. So much has happened since the book was first published in 2005. #ruthellis #lastwomantobehangedinuk #hanging

Why are we wasting our time trying to pardon Ruth Ellis? Will she be less dead after her pardoning? All the poor #RuthEllis stuff is all well and good, but she still took part in a murder.

A strong central performance cannot save this show from its lack of depth and structural weaknesses.

The pardon "does not claim she was innocent. it replaces the death penalty with a sentence of life imprisonment"
As she was executed 61 years ago I can't see how changing killing her to keeping her in prison for the rest of her life will make a difference!

Ruth Ellis - last woman to be hanged in UK - gets conditional posthumous pardon
David Lammy says the conditional pardon replaces the death penalty with life imprisonment, to recognise a "profound injustice". It does not mean Ellis was innocent.

A tragic case, which helped the push for the abolition of the death penalty at the time - I was once shown (in the 90s) the bullet marks which were still visible on the wall at the scene of the crime, and have visited her burial place (Amersham).
