- Author and journalist Rory Carroll speaks to Nadine Dorries on TalkTV about the hidden story surrounding the IRA's attack on the Grand Hotel in 1984 which came close to killing former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Found out how the IRA enlisted the skills of a construction engineer to turn the hotel into a weapon in the 1984 bombing, by ensuring a five tonne chimney stack would slice through the hotel "like a homicidal guillotine".

Might it have to do with brutal policies she enacted against them????? Like torture
Rory Carroll's book is one of the best pieces of writing I have ever read. It is amazingly well written and I would recommend it to anyone. Nadine Dorries is thick and an insult to this country's history and politics.
Fun fact: Nadine Dorries earns £86,584 as an MP but hasn't attened a constituency surgery since March 2020
Got lost the dim specimen. Not to dumb as to know where the money is though.. the autobiography cometh....
I am reading Rory Carrolls book " Killing Thatcher". Excellent account of a very difficult subject.
Pat McGee 💪🏻
Oglaigh NA H'Eireann struck fear constantly into the belly of the beast.
So close🤣TAL🇮🇪
Ooh ah
Fantastic book, gripping from start to finish
Great show. Want that book
Patrick Magee. Modern day Guy Fawkes. At least you tired son
Not only the conference went on, but that day the place was packed. It was full. Not only Thatcher was a brave woman but all the ones who were there were brave as well.
I think the lady interviewer overlooked the second half of the book dealing with the investigation. The whole incident, its run-up, the event itself, its immediate aftermath, and the police investigation read like a classic thriller. It’s a very well-balanced book, written very well, such that the writer leaves the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. The fact is, though, that with the attempted assassinations that wounded severely President Reagan in 1981, and the Pope in the same year, by lone individuals, the attempt to wipe out Thatcher and her cabinet, in a much more dramatic way, was always going to be a public relations disaster for the Irish Republicans. Thatcher’s grim determination to continue the conference and her speech at it was probably in part down to her intuition that she was already fighting back, reclaiming even higher moral ground. This becomes a little more obvious as the trio of Reagan, Thatcher and the Pope were instrumental in putting pressure on the Soviet hegemony in Eastern Europe. The writer is right when he says the page of history was turned too fast. Part of the reason is not just the stiff upper lip explanation, but a realisation that, and here I speculate perhaps a little wildly, in probably many left-wing circles, Thatcher had shown herself to have in abundance, in the immediate aftermath of the explosion, Ernest Hemingway’s famous definition of courage: grace under pressure - and in the left-wing of British politics this they may have not wanted too highlighted. So the whole drama has nearly become a footnote in history.. it’s a very well-organised book. Incredible to think that the hotel in Brighton had been ABBA’s base when they won Eurovision with Waterloo in 1974. Thatcher had very nearly met with her Waterloo. Indeed, I think in the book it mentions she had been staying in the Napoleon Suite. Was that the suite Abba had been in?
Wish we had her now
She's rotting in hell lad
Well you can't. She's pissed herself in the mud. 🥱
So the IRA couldn't finish what they started ...
You can meet her in hell one day.
I literally just learned about this today... American. We don't really learn about this stuff but man would the world be a different place...
How did she, her husband and certain others escape serious injury or deat? Was it a case of the devil looking after his own?
According to the book "50 Dead Men Walking" the author discovered that the top of the IRA and the British Government were in cahoots. Well that would explain why so many ordinary, innocent people ever died during the years of IRA activity.
What happened eventually? Two old warmongers smiled, shook hands, shared an office along with the pay and pensions. After so many years of misleading people to torture and murder others, they did that! Now look at how those parties have betrayed the Irish people by allowing an islamic invasion with UN Islamic military as well as the dregs in tents there.
ALL wars ARE bankers wars. They and their royal relatives and politician family members etc. They are always at the root of the misery of the masses, even before the Rothschilds etc. Always that ilk and their related tribal bloodlines.
Why can't English people pronounce Ireland? Its not Island.
Let's be honest Liz truss could never properly live to Thatcher. No matter what
Those who carry out such atrocities should serve life - nothing justifies killing innocent people. The cowardly low life should never have been released.
Does that apply to the British soldiers who murdered innocent civilians in Derry? Those cowardly low life's didn't spend a day in prison.
I would hardly describe Margret Thatcher as "innocent" lmao
@@RJH755 You probably preferred the warmonger Tony BLiar. Thatcher did not do anything to deserve being blown up Blair did.
@@gillycooper8717 She gutted public services and put so many people out of work, look at the videos of Scottish people celebrating her death for example. And yeah Blair is a war criminal who should be hung for war crimes in Iraq along with Bush and Cheney, no argument from me there
How many people did Thatcher kill again?
I well remember the Brighton Bombing and was fourteen at the time. Norman Tebbit's wife was badly injured and he himself ended up in hospital. John Wakeham lost his wife because of the atrocity.

Dorries is a divvy
Unfortunately they never got her
Rooting for the enemy of our Country. Maybe you need to take a step back and reflect
@@debbiebedford well said Debbie. What a short memory some people have. These animals murdered thousands.
@@psychodrilla Nothing compared to the countless thousands murdered by British imperialists all over the world.
@@psychodrilla😂😂😂😂
@@psychodrilla yep. Shame we missed her.
HONK
Missed in Grantham. And missed in Brighton.
Shame they failed ..MT no empathy for the working classes ....
Not true. More working class people became homeowners under her government than ever before
@Jared Good and bad. It depleted the Council Housing stocks.
@@andrewoliver8930 It reduced them but did not deplete them. New Labour built an average of 562 council houses per year. Mrs Thatcher's Conservatives? 41,343 per year.
@Jared Cheers for the facts and data. Mrs T sold off 1.5 million houses in her time in office, so 40k per year does not cover the sales. A net loss of 1 million council homes.
@@andrewoliver8930 Not sure why you would want more people to be living in council houses as opposed to owning their own homes. In any case, the private sector more than made up for it with building of more than 2.63 million homes over Thatcher's tenure.
