Former Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams says there would have been ‘very few tears’ shed in “working class Scotland” if the IRA had killed Margaret Thatcher in the 1984 Brighton bombing.
Adams, 74, was discussing the Troubles in Northern Ireland on the Rest is Politics podcast on Monday. The pod is hosted by former Downing Street Press Secretary, Alastair Campbell, 65, and ex-Tory MP Rory Stewart, 50.
Adams was asked if he would have been ‘happy’ to see Thatcher killed in the 1984 bombing. Five people died and 31 injured when the IRA bombed the Grand Hotel in Brighton during Conservative Party conference.
