Claim: Jessey Wade and Ernest Bell were the grandparents of today’s animal rights militants, with a reputation for law-breaking and political activism that scandalised the Establishment.
Explainer: The Times article, Kathleen Hanchett Stamford wins £2.3m and gives it away1, was published behind a paywall, however we do have a copy of the article.
The cited article does not name or reference Ernest Bell and Jessey Wade even once. There is absolutely no supporting evidence for the claim.
