Merry Christmas 2025

 A Merry Christmas to all my readers 

Afghanistan History

 I wrote a brief history of Afghanistan

A video about Derek Bentley

 I found a very good video about Derek Bentley. That unfortunate man was hanged in 1953 and he was pardoned in 1958. It was a terrible injustice.  

Florence Ransom

I found out by accident that in 1940, a woman called Florence Ransom shot and killed 3 women. She was convicted of murder and sentenced to death, but a medical examination found she was insane and she was sent to an asylum. She spent 26 years there.

Portsmouth Natural History Museum
