Does she have to hand back the title and the previous woman hanged inherits the title of last woman hanged in the UK?
I'm with Gremlin, what's the fucking point?
She's still a convicted murderer. If she hadn't been hanged she'd be 99 years old now or, more likely, dead. So it's a bit late to be trying to change history, isn't it? Just leave the dead alone, they're beyond caring.dern wrote: Wed Jul 08, 2026 7:11 pmI can explain it to you but I can’t understand it for you.Saga Lout wrote: Wed Jul 08, 2026 5:30 pmSo...dern wrote: Wed Jul 08, 2026 2:54 pm

Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in the UK, has been granted a conditional pardon in light of evidence that she was a victim of domestic abuse and coercive and controlling behaviour.
Ellis was executed in 1955, aged 28, after she shot and killed her partner, David Blakely, whom she met two years earlier while working in the nightclub she managed.
The application for a pardon was brought by four of Ellis’s grandchildren who said her responsibility was profoundly shaped by domestic abuse, trauma and circumstances that were never properly recognised at her trial.
On Wednesday, the deputy prime minister and justice secretary, David Lammy, announced in parliament that, on his advice, King Charles had granted Ellis a conditional pardon.

I have a theory that when naming a boy, one should picture the scene 20 years hence, when your strapping son enters a crowded pub and his mates in the far corner shout his name...
'THEODOR!!...Over here. Watcha 'aving?'.
Oh, I dunno, by then everyone will think his name is actually Theo (which is quite a cool name really). Same as Frederick/Freddie - might as well cut to the chase at the christening and give 'em the short version).gremlin wrote: Thu Jul 09, 2026 10:52 am Most popular baby names for boys and girls in 2025 revealed
