In September 1909, the Metropolitan Police's Special Branch reported to the Home Secretary that two Suffragettes were going to Fairyland in Tottenham Court Road to practice with their pistols. The reason - they planned to assassinate Herbert Asquith, Prime Minister of Great Britain and Ireland.
We investigate the police reports to the Home Secretary, and his secret letter to Sir Edward Grey about his concerns.
