On 30 April 1999, all Colin Barr could think about was the weather as he made his way to Soho, London, on a Bank Holiday weekend.
It was a limpid Spring evening. Barr, who had moved down to the capital from Glasgow, Scotland, the year before, was off to meet his queer friends for drinks.
He was on edge – only two weeks ago, the streets of Brixton shuddered with the din of a shoebox-sized nail bomb that injured 48 people. He was sure it was a one-off. Nothing to worry about.
Then he watched the news – it had happened again, this time in Brick Lane days later. Thirteen wounded. All he could do was wait. Wary of what, if anything, was around the corner.
