There's a reason that paper is also called the Daily Fail.
Hess was held in the tower for 4 days in May 1941. In August 1971 German spy Josef Jakobs was executed in the tower. In 1945 William Joyce aka "Lord Haw-Haw" was imprisoned there.
In 1952 the Kray twins were held there.
The last is a bit sad really, because otherwise the last Englishman sent to the Tower would have been rather appropriately Lt Colonel Alfred Daniel Wintle (also called "Mad Jack" Wintle for some unknown reason even though his name was not Jack or John).
He went to the Tower in June 1940 charged with "conduct contrary and to the prejudice of good order and military discipline" namely stating forcefully that one Air Commodore Boyle of the RAF should be shot. Wintle successfully had that charge dismissed by offering into evidence his complete list of people who should be shot to aid the war effort. These days they'd just lock him away as a dangerous terrorist - the world's gone soft.

That’s August 1941, not 1971
