      Myra was complicit in the crimes and said something in court that proved it. The trial was stopped so it could be reported and it meant she should have been charged with a murder she wasn't on trial for. However, to charge her with the additional murder would mean restarting the trial which would have been costly to the public purse and they were confident she would be found guilty without the additional charge. She was as guilty as him.

It was interesting hearing your thoughts about the Ripper tour Amanda , he is the subject of many theories and villain in so many films . As he was never caught we can't even be sure he was British .

      I agree. This list would have been better sticking to either contemporary killers or historical villains. By mixing it up, it conflates two different types of 'evil' and it leaves too many out.
      If the list had been kept to killers of the last century or so, Brady & Hindley, Burke & Hare, Fred and Rose West, Mary Cotton and Dr Harold Shipman should definitely have featured. If you're unfamiliar with any of them the cases are worth checking out, especially if you are interested in true crime stories and investigations.

    I would question a few entries here. Even if Thomas Beckett were guilty of embezzlement, there are far more evil people out there. John did have a reputation for cruelty. But to be honest a heck of a lot of English kings were guilty of some nasty stuff, including the betrayal and murders of close family members, torture of political prisoners and plunging a nation into darkness. The worst thing about Moseley is not in what he did, but what he could have done if permitted. Can we call him evil based on his potential? I don’t know. He was politically dangerous, but I’m not sure if that makes him evil.
    But how we can have Thomas Becket, Oliver Cromwell and Oswald Mosley on the list when they completely failed to put Dr Crippen, Harold Shipman or Jimmy Savile on there is a mystery to me!

    Really interesting video. Lucy Worsley wrote a book (The art of the English murder) and did a video series on it called A very British murder. She talks about some pretty evil people. Someone else from history that is controversial is Lord Kitchener. He rose in the ranks of the British army in the late 19th century and became Secretary of State for War in WW1. During the Boer War however, according to Wikipedia, one historian "characterized Kitchener's conduct of the war as a "scorched earth policy", as his forces razed homesteads, poisoned wells and implemented concentration camps, as well as turned women and children into targets in the war." Over 26000 women and children died in concentration camps set up by the British during the war.

    If you like a bit of crime drama, I’d recommend “Appropriate Adult”. It’s two part drama based on the book by the social worker who - as her first client - was assigned to be Fred West's 'appropriate adult'. - an 'appropriate adult' is someone who can be assigned to an arrested person of questionable abilities to ensure they are not left vulnerable during an investigation. Their duty is to the defendant, and as such may not inform the police of anything incriminating that the defendant may have told them. - in the case of Fred West, he started divulging stuff to her almost immediately. Dominic West plays Fred West. It’s absolutely chilling, especially during the interrogations scenes.

    The judge in Timothy Evans' trial was so far out of line. In his summing up to the jury, he described Christie (who had been accurately accused by Evans of being the real murderer) as "a completely innocent man." It took many, many years for the government to admit that there had been a miscarriage of justice. In fact they first tried to claim that it was just coincidence that two unrelated men at the same address were using cords to strangle women and children. It was just coincidence that one guy was accused by the other of identical crimes which he was accused of.

    Dyer was a 'baby farmer', someone who adopted the children of unmarried mothers and received money for their upkeep.
    The belief is that she found she could not live on the money promised, so murdered the children, and her activities tended to be invisible, because the problem and the practice of baby-farming was invisible in Victorian times.
    Her case did lead to some support for unwed mothers, but it relied upon church and rich people's charity, so little changed for decades.

    John Reginald Halliday Christie was a Special Constable based at Harrow Road Police Station “X” division, 325 Harrow Road, WW2. (Within walking distance of 10 Rillington Place). My father was a regular Police Constable at Harrow Road at that time. Christie on occasion visited my house with other Police colleagues to play cards with my father. My father told me as a baby I also sat on his lap, while he was there. A chilling and scary thought as no one knew what he was up to at the time. Even now in the latter years of my life, I still get cold shivers when I recall what my father told me. Even more so after watching Sir Richard Attenborough’s film “10 Rillington Place” Christie was a totally evil man.

    I grew up in West Yorkshire during The Yorkshire Rippers reign of terror. His crimes, the murders and attacks were another level of maniacal brutalism and disfigurement. I cannot tell you how badly West Yorkshire was gripped with fear during the dark & misty winter nights of the late 1970s. It was surreal, women and girls would not, could not walk alone even in familiar streets, dads and older brothers became ultra protective of their mums and sisters.

    Definitely a weird list, seemingly focusing more on political and power motives rather than personal and psychological motives. For a small country we certainly seem to have had a lot of killers. If you want to watch a series on killers I would suggest Britain's Most Evil Killers, for the most notorious evil doers, Killer In My Village for the more personal and local killers and if you liked them two World's Most Evil Killers for killers on a global scale. I think they are all done by the same production company so all have a similar style. So if you like the format of one, you're bound to like them all.

      Young Edward and his brother eventually disappeared completely, which led to speculation that Richard III had arranged for their murder to make sure his claim to the throne was safe. But that’s not exactly what happened, the Missing Princes Project researchers say.
      The story they tell is based on their study of medieval documents and physical artifacts found in the small remote village of Coldridge. It begins with a 1484 agreement between Elizabeth Woodville and Richard III , in which she and her surviving children (two daughters and a grown son, Thomas Grey) acknowledged the legitimacy of Richard’s kingship, in return for their full freedom and the new king’s protection.

    My old former friend Tommy was a friend of Sutcliffe.
    Tommy was a mechanic and Sutcliffe used to get his vehicle serviced at the garage where tommy worked. As it was normally the last job of the day, tommy would often go out for after work drinks with Sutcliffe when he'd finished working on the vehicle.
    Tommy then went to jail for raping kids in the late 2000's and I met him after his release. He got run out of my town by myself and a load of others when we found out what he'd done.
    Of all the people who could have been friends, seems evil just knows evil when it sees it.

  • @nicktecky55

    Hi Amanda. You stretch it just a little saying Cromwell was even partly about freedom of religion. Protestantism was engaged in a war of survival against the Catholic Church. Since Henry VIII was excommunicated for establishing the Church of England and denying papal authority, that battle had been ongoing. The Huguenots from France had been arriving in England and Wales in family groups for many years, escaping the Catholic pogrom there; they still exist here as a community.
    Drogheda was a deep sea port facing England which would have been vital to any French attack and Cromwell needed it for the skills of the many craftsmen needed to repair his ships without going back to England. Cromwell ordered the people be spared the normal treatment, Irish historians have a copy of the order. Multiple reports after the siege was successful showed that the craftsmen had been spirited away beforehand.
    IMHO. Cromwell was first a great politician, that put him in a position to stiffen Parliament's backbone and do what had to be done with Charles I. From there he was able to form the New Model Army and become the great commander he was. Cromwell took the New Model Army and won the English Civil War with it. That preserved Protestantism in the whole of Europe and ultimately the United States.

    Peter Sutcliffe changed Britain. Jack the Ripper was 'active' for 4 months. Peter Sutcliffe was active from 1975 and wasn’t caught until 1981. - it’s actually believed that he may have started before 1981, and it’s also believed that a number of women were attacked by him prior to him being recognized as a serial killer.
    Unlike Jack the Ripper, the Yorkshire Ripper happened in an era when newspapers were national and TV and Radio had been invented. Although his attacks were in the North, the fear spread throughout the country. While women in the north were truly terrified and would not go out after dark at all - except perhaps in numbers, around the country women some stayed home, not necessarily for fear of the Ripper, but the concept that people like him could be out there.
    Pubs, clubs, restaurants around the country changed regulations so that female staff had to be provided with taxis home after a certain hour. Nurses and other women working shifts had to alter their habits.
    If you get a chance to watch one of the more modern dramas about the case, you'll see that many of the police who worked on the case later came forward and criticized their bosses heavily. It was an extremely badly run case, with an idiot in charge and lots of sexist and pig-ignorant behaviour throughout the team. It is probably the worst bodged investigation of all time. And despite the huge resources and hours poured into it, they achieved nothing. - they could have, but the bosses shut down several lines of inquiry that would have led to Sutcliffe capture. Following different avenues of the inquiry, Sutcliffe was interviewed nine times without raising any particular suspicion. The inquiry completely failed.
    Sutcliffe was arrested by two regular beat cops, who could have fouled things up too, arresting him with a sex worker, he asked if he could pee before they took him in. They allowed him to go - during which, he dropped the weapons he had been carrying. Only later did one of the cops decide to go back and check - and found them.
    The bosses celebrated wildly taking credit for the arrest - a twisted situation between police and government meant the police were initially congratulated and praised. It was only later that people started to talk about failings. Police who had been on the team stayed quiet about many aspects of the bad police work for many years, some until retirement. In the history of British policing, it is one of their most awful failures, they also exposed themselves as horribly chauvinist and callous. It wasn’t until someone who was not a sex worker was killed that the investigation was taken properly series. That woman being described as an 'innocent victim'. It makes me shudder to think of how it was handled.
    It was also complicated by a couple of 'taped confessions' that were fraudulently made by an idiot. The chief cop decided this was definitely the 'voice of the ripper' and refused to consider any suspect who did not have the Wearside accent on the tape. - thus eliminating everyone in the area of the killings.
    Police were also told to ignore some remarkably similar and accurate police drawings that had been described by witnesses who had been attacked - but told by police that their attacker hadn’t been the Ripper.

    Hugh de Spenser the Younger was one of my ancestors (alongside other Norman and British nobility) and I am really disappointed by how much important detail was left out.
    I do not dispute his infamy regarding his treatment of commoners but they omitted to say how much of his infamy was more likely homophobia.
    Hugh was gay and the former lover and favourite of King Edward II.
    When Edward was deposed, his wife Isabella of France was outraged. Hugh fled for his life to France (where he too had relatives). He then entered into a period of piracy in the English Channel before being captured. Nine months later he was executed by drawing, hanging, emasculation and quartering.
    Although he was vile towards commoners, I still cannot but feel some suspicion a lot of his infamy came from homophobic notions he was the "corruptor" of Edward II.
    I believe (personal theory only, I cannot prove this is true) the Game of Thrones characters of Renly Baratheon and Loras Tyrell were loosely based upon, respectively, Edward and Hugh.
