[ Ссылка ] Alice Wheeldon was a pacifist, a suffragette and an anti-war activist. In 1917, she was imprisoned for taking part in a plot to poison the then Prime Minister Lloyd George. She maintained that she had no intention of doing so, but rather was supplying poison to kill guard dogs around a prison where Conscientious Objectors were being held.
Wheeldon's family, including her great-granddaughter Chloë Mason, have since been agitating to have her name cleared.
