AHC: Have a modern british PM be assassinated

I was thinking of some sort of group of Back bench pro brexit Conservative MPs (UKIP Lite) sore at having lost the vote stopping the Government from operating and giving the Chief Party Whip a wedgie and ultimately forcing a vote of no confidence which results in a snap election being called to break the deadlock.

It's possible, I can't see Cameron being stupid enough to run a campaign as badly as May did and letting Corbyn make up that 40-odd point gap in the polls either though. May basically threw away every advantage she had with that ridiculous manifesto, her u-turns and her poor performances when she had to go without a script. I didn't particularly like Cameron (and I really don't like May while I'd happily watch Corbyn bleeding out) but I just don't think he's shit enough to give Labour the gains they got against May.
 
Surely the best way to get Corbyn as PM. Would be to have Andrea Leadsom become Conservative leader after David Cameron quits. She is someone who I can see screwing up an election campaign even more than May. Although, getting her as leader might be quite hard.
 
IRA related again, but perhaps an assassination of Thatcher as she was flying into Dublin Castle for the EU talks back in 1980 (or 79 can't remember which).

In 1943 the wrong factions in German Intelligence learn that Churchill will be spending a night on the South Coast and a crack team of German Commandos in a penal unit are landed in country disguised as Polish Paratroopers to get in, make contact with dissident IRA members the Germans have forced to work for them. Have the team make it to the location Winston is at and kill him.

Just to nitpick, there was no such thing as "dissident IRA" back then, just IRA. The "Dissident" tag is a post Peace Talks/GFA tag. Also from memory the IRA units in the UK were pretty much shagged by then.

It was short hand talk for an IRA member who served in the International Brigades, was captured by Franco and handed over to the Germans when they asked for him in 1940.

I think the protection offered by the Security Services to a high risk individual today is such that any attempt is likely to fail.

I would guess Blair as ex-PM has more protection that Cameron even now. Certainly Cameron was able to lead a fairly normal life and be among the people given that he did not get involved in too much controversial large scale warfare.

Maybe if the Syrian bombing had gone ahead, Cameron might have insisted on his right to walkabout among the people and a disaffected Islamist took him out at home in Oxford where he freely mingled.

This is not an advocacy BTW. However much I dislike a politician any assassination would be a disaster for the UK.
 
Neville Chamberlain has just signed the Munich accords ,as he returns home and gives his peace in our time speach a Great War veteran of the Western Front shoots him dead.
As the police are arresting him and taking him away he screams at the reporters "He didn't achieve peace,he doomed us to a war,worse than the last one!".
He is quickly tried and sentenced to hang his final words were "I take no joy in being right" the date September 1,1939.
 
Something a bit different:

OTL, in April 1964, Sir Alec Douglas-Home was subjected to an attempted kidnapping by some Aberdeen University students. In OTL, the situation was defused, but suppose Douglas-Home tries to make a run for it (he was alone at the time), the students panic, and in the ensuing scuffle, the Prime Minister is badly injured. He then dies of his injuries, making it an unintentional assassination.
 
Please don't encourage stupid people to be even more silly or evil ones to do so better.
I am "encouraging" no-one. I mentioned a far more plausible CBW agent that could have been used. Attempting to hide basic chemistry is utterly pointless.
