<p>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. </p>
<p>We investigate the police reports to the Home Secretary, and his secret letter to Sir Edward Grey about his concerns. </p>
