Another new pamphlet from past tense: Alice Wheeldon

(Continuing their valuable series on the real First World War:)

We are pleased to announce... another new pamphlet from past tense...

• ALICE WHEELDON

Framed by spycops for resisting World War 1

In 1917, Derby socialists and war resisters Alice Wheeldon, her daughters Hettie, Winnie and Winnie’s husband, Alfred Mason, went on trial at the Old Bailey, all charged with conspiracy to murder the Liberal Prime Minister Lloyd George and cabinet minister Arthur Henderson. 

In fact the supposed ‘plot’ was a fit up, set up by a spy working for the intelligence unit of the Ministry of Munitions, effectively then run by a combination of Special Branch and what would become MI5. The aim was to attack and discredit the anti-war movement.

All proceeds from sales of this pamphlet after costs are covered will be donated to ongoing campaigns against our own modern spycops...
