The Brighton Bomb: No Penny for the Pat
Why have the events of October 1984 and the attempt to wipe out a prime minister and her cabinet not been committed to our public consciousness?
Remember remember the 5th of November. The Gunpowder Plot has been seared into centuries of British popular history. Why have the events of October 1984 and the attempt to wipe out a Prime Minister and her cabinet not been committed to our public consciousness in the same way?
For the principal contributors in our series, the events of 40 years ago had a seismic impact on their lives. What, if anything, did the Brighton time bomb achieve?
