The Hidden Guardian: How a Second Terror Attack on an MP Was Prevented
On Sunday, 16th March 202,5, Nana Akua interviewed Philip Grindell, CEO of Defuse Global, on GB News:
In the shadowy world of threat protection, some victories never make headlines—attacks prevented, lives saved, and tragedies averted through vigilance and expertise.
One such untold story has finally emerged from the corridors of power. A veteran security expert with three decades of experience in the Metropolitan Police’s Specialist Operations Unit has revealed that a second terror attack targeting a British MP was quietly thwarted following the devastating murder of Jo Cox.
Philip Grindell, who has since transitioned to the private sector as a security consultant, shared this previously undisclosed information while discussing the evolving landscape of personal security threats. His revelations come alongside the release of his new book, “Personal Threat Management: The Practitioner’s Guide to Keeping Clients Safer,” which distils his extensive experience into practical guidance for security professionals.
The revelation raises profound questions about the dangers public figures face and the invisible shield of protection that surrounds them—a world most citizens never glimpse, yet one that safeguards the democratic institutions we all depend upon.
