Default 40 years ago: The IRA Bomb Nearly killed the PM , then


Taking out many floors
Murdering 5 people. At 2:55AM


[The daughter of an MP murdered
in the Brighton bombing 40 years ago has
said it would make her life easier if the man
responsible would state that the
IRA’s violence was wrong.

Jo Berry, whose father was Sir Anthony Berry,
the former Conservative MP for
Enfield Southgate, said she had
struck up a “very unusual friendship”
with the man who planted the
device Patrick Magee.

The bombing on October 12 1984 tore
apart the Brighton Grand Hotel,
where then-prime minister
Margaret Thatcher and members
of her cabinet were staying while
the Conservative Party conference
took place.]


Nowadays British Machine Gun Police
protect hotels when a PM is doing a Conference.
