They siad Derek Bentley was easlily led well whats that to the women that sidney miles wed though guilty was the verdict and craig had shot him dead the gallows were for bentley and still she never said... Not many people thought that bentley would hang but the word never came the phone never rang outside wandsworth prison there was horror and hate as the hangman shook bentleys hand to calculate his weight.... From a welfare state to society murder bring back the noose is always heard whenever thos swine are under attack but it wont make you even it wont bring him back... Am F E7
