It was interesting to find that Courtenay Griffiths QC provided the criminal defence in numerous trials of IRA 'terrorists.'

'...Born in Kingston, Jamaica, the second youngest child of a carpenter father, Griffiths moved to England with his family in 1961 and was raised in Coventry. Educated at Bablake School, he graduated in 1978 with an LLB (Hons) from the London School of Economics.

He was made Queen's Counsel in 1998.

Notable cases:

Brighton hotel bombing (defended Patrick Magee)
Harrods bombing
1996 Docklands bombing
Risley Prison riot
Dartmoor Prison riot
R v Silcott & others - the Keith Blakelock murder trial which arose out of the Broadwater Farm Estate riot
Successful appeal for Johnson, Davis and Rowe, 2000
Damilola Taylor murder, first trial, 2002 (defending one of two brothers accused of the 'Damilola' murder)
Goswell v Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis - for a while, this case recorded the highest award of damages made by a jury against a police force
Charles Taylor trial in The Hague, 2007 – present

Brighton Grand Hotel Bombing 1984


Let us start with the Brighton Hotel 'attack' of 12 October 1984. A 'long-delay time bomb' was supposedly planted in the hotel by Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) member Patrick Magee, with the intention of assassinating Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet, who were staying at the hotel for the Conservative Party conference. Although Thatcher narrowly escaped injury, five people were apparently killed (including two high-profile members of the Conservative Party) and 31 were injured, treated at the Royal Sussex County Hospital and all recovering from their injuries.

The bomb detonated at 2:54 a.m (2+5+4=11).

Of the five people apparently killed, none were government ministers, which is very convenient. Those killed were Conservative MP Sir Anthony Berry, Eric Taylor (North-West Area Chairman of the Conservative Party), Lady (Jeanne) Shattock (wife of Sir Gordon Shattock, Western Area Chairman of the Conservative Party), Lady (Muriel) Maclean (wife of Sir Donald Maclean, President of the Scottish Conservatives), and Roberta Wakeham (wife of Parliamentary Treasury Secretary John Wakeham).

Margaret Tebbit, the wife of Norman Tebbit, who was then President of the Board of Trade, was said to be left permanently disabled.

I wonder what exactly is going on here. Maybe she was already disabled, or could the Tebbits be sick enough to put her in a wheelchair for the occasional press photograph?

Could it be that Norman Tebbit is not really married and the woman pictured above is an actress?

This is the official explanation:

You know, the only thing that I find curious is the lack of either wasting or atrophy in the legs, and/or swelling/edema in the legs.
It is usually one or the other. Very rarely do I see someone in a wheel chair who looks like they could get right up and go play a game of tennis.

They wouldn't be so low as to put someone in a wheelchair, whom the public can see every day on their goggle-box, would they?

Meanwhile back at work in wheelchair, and looks like he could step right out of it. Resumes his hobby of ski-ing.
