Nail Bombing at Admiral Duncan Gay Pub

April 30th, 1999 25 years ago

A neo-Nazi named David Copeland carried out his final nail bombing at the Admiral Duncan pub in London, targeting the gay community. The attack resulted in the deaths of three people and injuries to 79 others, making it one of the most devastating acts of violence against the LGBTQ+ community in the UK. Copeland's actions were motivated by his extreme far-right beliefs, aiming to incite fear and division within society. The bombing underscored the ongoing issues of hate crimes and discrimination based on sexual orientation in the late 1990s.
