There were already 96 reasons why no one needed any lectures from Kelvin MacKenzie. And Roy Greenslade was writing for The Sun and The Sunday Times when everyone on Fleet Street knew all about him. Guardian hacks and the Kamm or Aaronovitch sort of Times ones are wrong about most things, but at least they believe what they are saying. In private, by contrast, almost no writers on the right-wing papers are much, if at all, like their public personae. They literally laugh at their readers.
As for Greenslade's house in Brighton, it probably was used in the Brighton Bomb. But it has been a matter of record for decades that Margaret Thatcher was in continuous contact with the IRA. She massively increased her popularity by her "miraculous" escape. There would have been no Anglo-Irish Agreement without that backstory on her part. All in all, it is her remaining supporters who ought to go nowhere near anything to do with the Brighton Bomb. Nor will they.
