Is This Justice?

The late 12th Duke of Bedford
Here he examines the question of imprisonment without charge or trial during WWII in Britain.
Some of the cases that are dealt with include those of Captain Ramsey, MP. who had been severely wounded in the First World War and was a member of the Conservative Party and Admiral Sir Barry Domville and his wife, whose eldest son who was later killed in the war. Their youngest son was also imprisoned and this included a spell at the MI5 interrogation centre at Latchmere House, Ham Common. Surrey. His treatment there makes harrowing reading. The cases of Eric Hamilton-Piercy, Captain Gordon Canning, John Beckett and of course many others including Oswald Mosley are examined and the late Duke makes it clear that he considered the whole business a disgrace, and unworthy of a civilised country.
