Title A name given to the resource Angry Brigade and Persons Unknown Description An account of the resource This collection includes pamphlets, press commentary, and police reports relating to the trials of the 'Angry Brigade' (1972) and 'Persons Unknown' (1978-79). In 1972, eight activists, drawn mainly from the milieu of the libertarian left, appeared at the Old Bailey on charges of conspiracy. According to the British police authorities, these activists belonged to the so-called 'Angry Brigade', a clandestine, armed terror group responsible for a string of bomb attacks between 1970 and 1972. Stuart stood on trial as one of the eight that were accused because of the number of explosive incidents that were focused on Spanish targets. In 1978, the 'Persons Unknown' case put pressure on Christie yet again, as the Special Branch and the newly formed Anti-Terrorist Squad arrested five anarchists on the charge of 'conspiracy to cause explosions'. The arrests were co-ordinated by Inspector Roy Cremer, one of the lead detectives on the Angry Brigade case. Cremer's attention focused on Ronan Benett, an Irish anarchist, who had recently left Long Kesh prison in the North of Ireland (following a successful appeal for the murder of a Belfast policeman). Arriving in England shortly after his release, Bennett made contact with the Anarchist Black Cross, having become interested in anarchism during his time in prison. The evidence with which the five anarchists were charged was spurious, to say the least. After eighteen months of imprisonment (on remand), the jury decided to acquit all the defendants.

Title A name given to the resource British Anarchism, 1960-1968 Description An account of the resource Ephemera, posters, and periodicals produced by the British anarchist movement in the 1960s. This collection includes copies of <a href="https://freedompress.org.uk/">Freedom </a>and Anarchy. Both publications were published by Freedom Press, the oldest and largest anarchist publishing house in Britain, with its roots in the continental anarchist emigre networks of the 1880s. During the 1960s, Freedom became a source of intense conflict within the British anarchist movement. Vernon Richards, the owner and editor of the publishing house, was at the centre of the controversy. Following the garroting of <a href="https://www.katesharpleylibrary.net/vhhp7d">two Spanish anarchists</a> in 1963, Richards wrote a column which argued that Franco's tourist boom was beneficial for Spain's working class. This was completely at odds with the tourism boycott supported by the (largely) exiled Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), Spain's anarcho-syndicalist trade union. Alongside Freedom, this collection also features copies of Direct Action, the paper of the Syndicalist Workers' Federation (the British contingent of the International Workers' Association). Contrary to the line taken by Richards, the SWF supported the CNT's boycott of Spanish tourism. It was during the peak of the anti-tourism campaign, in the summer of 1964, when Stuart Christie moved to Notting Hill in London, which at the time had become an important local hub for CNT exiles. During his stay in London, the anti-tourism campaign in Britain escalated to include forms of direct action – mostly breaking windows - against Spanish travel agencies. Through the SWF, Stuart was introduced to anarchist brothers Bernardo and Salvador (‘Salva’) Gurucharri. Salvador had participated in various clandestine missions to Francoist Spain and had only recently arrived in London following his release from Fresnes prison in Paris. In 1963, during the founding conference of the Anarchist Federation of Britain, Stuart suggested to Salva that he would like to ‘play a direct part in the resistance movement’ and was told to be ‘ready to travel on twenty-four hours notice’. <a href="#_ftnref1"></a> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Various Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Identity card of the (garrotted) Spanish anarchist, Joaquín Delgado (1963) Description An account of the resource Stuart Christie (2011): 'Grand Orient de France identity card of 29-year-old anarchist cabinet-maker Joaquín Delgado Martínez, garroted (with fellow anarchist Francisco Granado) in Madrid’s Carabanchel Prison at 5.00 a.m. on 17 August 1963, the 24th year of Franco’s ‘victory’. Both were innocent of the actions of which they had been convicted just four days earlier by a drumhead Francoist court-martial. (Those responsible were two other members of ‘Defensa Interior’, the anti-Francoist defence committee of the Libertarian Movement in Exile [CNT, FAI, FIJL] 25-year-old Antonio Martín Bellido and 20-year-old Sergio Hernández, both of whom had returned to France.). The Grand Orient de France (GODF) is the largest Masonic organisation in France and the oldest in Continental Europe. It was formed out of the older Grand Lodge of France in 1773, which allows it to date its foundation to 1728 or 1733. It is generally considered to be the mother lodge of traditional Liberal, or Continental Freemasonry, the defining features of which are complete freedom of religious conscience (although largely anti-Church/anti-clerical) and active involvement in politics which is why it was attractive to many anarchists, libertarians and socialists in France, Spain (Gran Oriente Español) and Italy (Grande Oriente d'Italia)'.

Following the garroting of <a href="https://www.katesharpleylibrary.net/vhhp7d">two Spanish anarchists</a> in 1963, Richards wrote a column which argued that Franco's tourist boom was beneficial for Spain's working class. This was completely at odds with the tourism boycott supported by the (largely) exiled Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), Spain's anarcho-syndicalist trade union. Alongside Freedom, this collection also features copies of Direct Action, the paper of the Syndicalist Workers' Federation (the British contingent of the International Workers' Association). Contrary to the line taken by Richards, the SWF supported the CNT's boycott of Spanish tourism. It was during the peak of the anti-tourism campaign, in the summer of 1964, when Stuart Christie moved to Notting Hill in London, which at the time had become an important local hub for CNT exiles. During his stay in London, the anti-tourism campaign in Britain escalated to include forms of direct action – mostly breaking windows - against Spanish travel agencies. Through the SWF, Stuart was introduced to anarchist brothers Bernardo and Salvador (‘Salva’) Gurucharri. Salvador had participated in various clandestine missions to Francoist Spain and had only recently arrived in London following his release from Fresnes prison in Paris. In 1963, during the founding conference of the Anarchist Federation of Britain, Stuart suggested to Salva that he would like to ‘play a direct part in the resistance movement’ and was told to be ‘ready to travel on twenty-four hours notice’. <a href="#_ftnref1"></a> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Various Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

After returning from imprisonment in Spain in 1967, Stuart Christie refounded the Anarchist Black Cross (the ABC) with Albert Meltzer. With its initial premises set up in Coptic Street in London, the ABC provided a support network for Franco’s anarchist prisoners while also operating a ‘Spanish Liberation fund’ to subsidise activist groups throughout the country. Its activity was divided into two tasks; first to provide material support, in the form of ‘food parcels and medical supplies’, and latterly to aid the Spanish Resistance movement with ‘everything it needs, including ‘[print] duplicators, typewriters and guns’.

This photo was taken soon after the nationwide hoo-ha that followed the publication of our guerrilla warfare manual, ‘Towards A Citizens’ Militia. Anarchist alternatives to NATO and the Warsaw Pact’.

Title A name given to the resource Stuart Christie, Over The Water (1980) Description An account of the resource Stuart Christie: 'Over the Water, Sanday, Orkney (Dec 1980): with Megan (left) and Mirk (right). Megan is looking slightly cowed as she's just been told off for chasing sheep. Mirk, on the other hand couldn't give a toss. The original owner of 'Over the Water', built sometime in the 18th Century I believe, was a sneaky Jacobite by the name of King ... ('The King — over the water!')... It was around that time the the Chief Constable of the Grampian Police sent me a letter (hand delivered by a Sergeant and Constable specially flown up to Sanday — from Inverness via Kirkwall) to say that he was refusing my application for a shotgun licence (because of my conviction by a Francoist Council of War) and that if I wanted to challenge his decision I would have to deposit £1,000 with the High Court in Edinburgh. All this happened at the time we (a loose conglomeration of anarchists and libertarians in Orkney) successfully halted (among other things) a major SAS manoeuvre to secure Orkney's uranium deposits. A letter to 'The Orcadian' from Ross McGilchrist (an anarchist lightkeeper at Cantick Head, Longhope, How) spoke of an Orcadian 'Citizens' Militia' waiting for them with shotguns to shoot them out of the sky if they decided to drop in. Our local (alternative) paper, 'The Free-Winged Eagle' (published from 'Over the Water') was also responsible for exposing the role of Brigadier Malcolm Dennison, Lord Lieutenant of Orkney, as MI6's 'surrogate' security 'adviser' to Sultan Qaboos of Oman (after having helped overthrow his father!); we also played a small part in helping to halt the proposed major seal cull at the time (a large and ongoing part, of course, being played by Ross Flett). Not really surprised the Chief Constable opposed my shotgun licence application. I learned later that the argument was in fact that with a licence I could purchase multiple shotguns and rifles and, possible, arm a militia! As he handed me the letter in the gravel-ash yard outside 'Over the Water', the sergeant studiously avoided referring to the empty, discarded shotgun cartridges strewn around the place....'
