Not only did they kindly agree to provide us with a tent, they also erected it for us — right next to their marquee (see the TA flag). You can imagine their surprise — and embarrassment — when we turned up with anarchist flags, badges, records, magazines and of course anti-militarist and ‘Troops Out’ publications.

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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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 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....'

Title A name given to the resource Stuart Christie in the editorial office of Cienfuegos Press, Orkney (1980) Description An account of the resource Stuart Christie: '1980, (the Steading) ‘Over the Water’, Sanday, Orkney: the then editorial address of Cienfuegos Press, ‘Black Flag’ and ‘The Free-Winged Eagle’, monthly scourge of Northern Isles’ malfeasors, the Orkney Islands Council, the agents of Hyperborean reaction and all the rest of Satan’s little helpers in the region. 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’. Apart from ‘questions being asked in the House’ we were anathematized from the pulpit by the then ‘Wee Free’ minister of Papa Westray who warned his congregation not to subscribe to — or read — ‘The Free-Winged Eagle’ as it was the provenance of the Devil (who had taken up residence and was running a children’s bookshop on Sanday, me!). * As a matter of historical interest, or next-door neighbour, Davie Matches, was not only the last Norn-speaker on the island, but also the last surviving member of the island’s once thriving ‘Society of the Horseman's Grip and Word’.
