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.

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.

Title A name given to the resource CND and Committee of 100 Subject The topic of the resource Anti-nuclear activism Description An account of the resource The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) was founded in the late 1950s by Bertrand Russell and J.B Priestly. While the initial group was formed by establishment intellectuals, the CND rapidly morphed into a cross-class movement. After Britain exploded its first megaton hydrogen bomb on Christmas Island in 1957, anti-nuclear groups gained hundreds and thousands of new members. <br /><br />As a young teen, Stuart became involved in the anti-nuclear Committee of 100. A split from the ‘celebrity-and-politician dominated’ CND, the Committee of 100 mobilised against nuclear armament and militarism with direct action. This collection includes bits of ephemera and leaflets handed out on anti-nuclear demonstrations by the CND and C100. Also included in t<span>his collection is the original 'Spies for Peace' mimeograph which was handed out on the 1963 Aldermaston March. </span> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Various Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Stuart Christie Memorial Archive (Mayday Rooms) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1960-1970 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 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, Highgate (1968) Description An account of the resource Stuart Christie (2011): 'Note the Bob Fletcher (Esquire) hand made, hi-back button-down, price 29s 6d. These press photos appeared for sale on eBay recently. Thanks to Ally for bringing them to my attention.' 'Our local pub, the Queen’s in Crouch End, Hornsey, had become a focal meeting place for anarchists, libertarians, Trotskyists, and a couple of members of the Young Communist League (YCL) who were no better than they should be. ‘I didn’t know it at the time, but the pub was known to the police as the home of the ‘Hornsey Guerrillas.’ Something strange happened on the Friday night before the demonstration. First, seven or eight uniformed policemen, led by a Sergeant Phillips from Hornsey police station, filed into ‘our snug,’ and called time — 15 minutes before last orders. When we objected and complained to Harry, the landlord, he didn’t try to remonstrate with the police, as you might have expected, and told us to drink up, covering the pumps with a tea-towel as he spoke. There were perhaps about twenty of us in the pub that night and hackles were rising. We didn’t particularly want a rammy starting in our local, and with the ‘big’ demo the next day wiser and more worldly counsels prevailed and we allowed ourselves to be ushered out onto the pavement singing the Internationale. ‘Once outside we realised the whole street was crawling with police, from Tottenham Lane all the way up Crouch End Broadway and past the clock tower, where a large posse of policemen had massed. Beyond the clock tower we could see a convoy of Black Marias and police buses with reinforcements. Trouble was brewing. Our first thoughts were that there had been a right-wing coup and we were headed for internment in the nearby Arsenal football stadium. ‘A small group of us turned right to go towards Fairfield Gardens, but our way was blocked by a line of policemen who started herding everyone up towards the clock tower. As we walked we sang the Internationale, fists clenched in the air. ‘I think it was Jimmy Gilpin who kicked the whole thing off. Jimmy was another young Scots lad recently arrived in London from Dumfries to join the revolution. He had seen the events of May 1968 in Paris on the telly, read the stories of imminent insurrection in the newspapers, and he simply had to be there on the barricades so he gave up his pipefitting apprenticeship and ran off to Crouch End where his brother, Peter, an IS (SWP) activist lived with his wife Sheila up Crouch End Hill in Haslemere Road, next door to Tariq Ali and his partner, Jane. ‘Jimmy was trailing along at the back of the crowd when a police Panda car drew up alongside him. A pasty-faced cop said to him, provocatively, in his best Estuary English ‘Shut the fakk up, you bastard!’ Jimmy ignored him and walked on, still singing. The Panda drew up again and the pasty-faced cop screamed at him ‘I told you to shut up, you bastard.’ Jimmy turned and leaned in the window and said, in as polite a tone as he could muster: ‘We are singing about “uniting the human race,” so that lets you out pal.’ Next thing the cop is out of the car and has Jimmy bent over the bonnet in a headlock. It was the move the police were waiting for; it had been a set-up, a provocation. Police appeared as if out of nowhere — uniformed and plain clothes, dog handlers, cars and Paddy Wagons. When Peter Gilpin and Mike Cohen dragged the policeman off Jimmy, fighting broke out up and down the Broadway. Ray Jones was wrestling with a copper in the middle of the street, Graham Packham, Vaz Clark, Ross Pritchard, Conn, Big Jack Finnegan, Mike Hyme, Ross Flett, Allan Barlow, Phil Carver, Austin Berlin, Sheila Gilpin, Brenda, my girl-friend, and others were trading punches and insults with our attackers. The scene was straight out of Hieronymous Bosch, and the choreography out of West Side Story. ‘Fashion victim that I was at the time, I was wearing my brand-new bespoke dark blue mohair suit. With my short hair and clean-shaven Man at C&A look, I was often taken for an off-duty policeman or CID officer. Taking advantage of this I dodged around in the melee doing what I could, taking the numbers of the policemen as they tried to bundle people into the waiting Black Marias. As fast as people were pushed into the police vans, we pulled them out again. I asked one policeman who was trying to handcuff Jimmy to release him, saying he was ‘one of ours.’ The copper immediately released him, no doubt thinking that one CID officer was asking for the release of an undercover agent. I think they arrested Jimmy three times that night. On the last occasion he tried to climb into the Paddy Wagon, but was booted out by a copper who told him they were full up — and they had got what they had come for. It obviously wasn’t Jimmy Gilpin. ‘Jimmy then swung a punch at the policeman who lunged back, and then Mike Cohen stepped in took the policeman’s truncheon from him and cracked his collar bone with it. Mike got away, but Jimmy was grabbed, handcuffed and frog-marched to Hornsey Police Station ‘Suddenly I was rumbled. Sergeant Phillips, who was in charge of the operation, shouted to a dog-handler, a vicious-looking retard with an Alsatian dog to grab me. I suddenly found myself grabbed by my tie by the dog handler who started to strangle me with it. He also ripped the front of my best and irreplaceable Bob Fletcher handmade shirt. I really should have learned never to fight for freedom and justice in your best clothes. Unfortunately, I hadn’t realised freedom and justice were on the agenda that night. With one mighty leap I broke free and ran off into the night. The policeman fell to the pavement in surprise, releasing his dog, which took off after me like a bat out of Hell. ‘I ran into the alley behind the chip shop where I stopped and turned, hoping to pacify the dog with my winning ways, soft words and the divine intervention of St Francis of Assisi. The dog stopped, looked at me, bared its teeth, advanced slowly, growling then launched itself at my privates. I managed to turn and deflect the animal’s bite, so that instead of my bollocks, it sank its teeth into my knee, ripping my brand-new trousers badly. At this point anger and self-interest overcame my natural love of animals and, with no other weapons available, I pulled out a biro and thrust it up the Alsatian’s nose.

This worried me in case he’d come to perform the last rites (and me a 'Proddy'), but it was simply a friendly visit to his 'flock'. I just hoped that if ...I did make it through the operation I would still have a nose. The operation reminded me of my tonsillectomy on a Glasgow kitchen table at the age of 5. I was ushered into what looked like a gynaecological chair, while the nursing staff, all prisoners, strapped my wrists, chest and legs. The seat was then cranked back until my head was at 45 degrees to the floor and my feet pointing at the ceiling. A masked surgeon looking like Laurence Olivier playing the Nazi dentist in Marathon Man suddenly loomed over me wielding two stainless steel corkscrews that he proceeded to manoeuvre up my nostrils and crank open as though he was opening a bottle of claret. With a flourish, a large chrome syringe appeared in his hand, which he jabbed into the soft palate of my mouth like a matador in for the faena. As the freezing Novocain trickled down my gullet I could still feel everything, particularly pain. A stainless steel chisel then appeared in his hand, which he promptly poked into my nostril. Suddenly, what looked like an ice pick appeared in other hand of this latter-day Ramón Mercader. He swung back and then began battering his way into my brain cavity. Wincing under the relentless hammer blows I began to feel some sympathy for Leon Trotsky. Was this man clearing my sinuses or was he planning to trepan me to open up my ‘Third Eye’?'

Title A name given to the resource Stuart Christie at work on the gas network, 1970 Description An account of the resource Stuart Christie (2011): '1970 (summer): from 1969 to 1971 I was working long hours [and well-paid] for the then William Press & Son engineering company, converting North London and the Home Counties from town gas to natural gas. It was a period that coincided with a peak in the Europe-wide anti-Francoist and anti-US/Vietnam War activities of the anarchist ‘First of May Group’ and the birth of the so-called ‘Angry Brigade’. I was the chargehand on D28, the van in this photo, and thereby hang a number of tales. The following account is from ‘Edward Heath Made Me Angry’: “The police ‘leaked’ a story to the Daily Express [about Europe-wide non-lethal attacks on aeroplanes and properties of Iberia Airlines and other Francoist institutions]. The man responsible, according to ‘police sources,’ was a person readily identifiable as yours truly. Unfortunately, libel actions are only a rich man’s way of getting richer. Had I been Randolph Churchill I could have walked off with enough money to live without working for the rest of my life. As it was, I continued converting the Home Counties — to Natural Gas — and limited my response to a statement issued through my lawyer, Ben Birnberg, denying any involvement in the actions. On the afternoon in question, I had been at a garden party at the home of two close friends up Crouch Hill, Valerie and Graham Packham. One of my ‘alibis’ was a senior police officer who lived next door. Almost a fortnight after the attacks on the Iberia planes another incident occurred on 22 May that was to mark the emergence of what was to become known as the ‘Angry Brigade.’ It was the discovery of a small explosive device with a timing device on the building site of the high security police station in Paddington. Coincidentally, the previous week had seen the spectacular escape of Andreas Baader from Tegel Prison in West Germany. This was the birth of the ‘Red Army Fraktion,’ the RAF. If astrology was involved in this conjuncture — which also saw the first Weather Underground communiqué in the States and their bombing of New York City’s Police Headquarters — the people in these groups must have been born on very different cusps, as they were to evolve in very different ways. Things began to heat up in the early summer of 1970. On my way home from Harrow on the Hill one evening— it was in the run up to the June elections — I became aware that I was being followed in what appeared to be a fairly substantial surveillance operation either by the police or MI5’s ‘Watchers’ from Euston Tower in Gower Street. Knowing I was being shadowed made it relatively easy for me to lose them around the back streets of Wembley and Willesden, and I didn’t think much more of it — until the same thing happened the following day. While driving out of our base at the North Thames Gas Board yard at Harrow-on-the-Hill, I noticed a green car following me. My normal route took me through the back doubles of North London to get home to Finsbury Park. This routine was to avoid the rush-hour traffic rather than MI5’s cloak and dagger men from Gower Street. I knew this part of London like the back of my hand, having converted most of it to Natural Gas so I took my followers on a Cook’s tour of the Betjemanesque suburbs, during the course of which I discovered that I had at least three cars and two motorcyclists tailing me. Wherever I went the lambs were sure to follow. Failing to shake them, I eventually ended up driving along Finchley Road at a mere fifteen miles an hour, with the surveillance cars and motorcycles following me like a funeral procession with outriders. If I had had a passenger I would have got him to walk in front of the car, hat in hand. When we got to Highgate Hill the traffic into London from the A1 and M1 motorway had built up. Suddenly, the Devil made me pull out and accelerate into the oncoming northbound traffic, pulling into the correct lane when a gap presented itself, or forced to by large lorries heading straight for me. The Hillman Hunters decided not to pursue me. A few minutes later I was in the back streets of Archway and heading for home, taking care to park my car streets away from our flat. My official address was the old office of the Anarchist Black Cross, which we had given up, but I still had a key and collected our mail every other day. The next day when I arrived at work, a cavalcade of cars and vans were parked all around my sector. I thought at first that it might have something to do with the election, but no — it was the ‘watchers. … ‘ ‘…One day I cracked a joke to my shop steward and unit manager about the increased surveillance, but they didn’t believe me — at first. Then they checked for themselves and reported back on the two-way radio that they had counted six parked Hillman Hunters and Minxes with similarly sequenced registration plates on my conversion sector, occupied by what were obviously plainclothes policemen or spooks. There were also two motorcyclists in the area — with green army bikes, green army-issue crash helmets and heavy-duty military raincoats. Gerry, my foreman, laughed and said that I was being paranoid. Jokingly I suggested we swap cars for the night [I had a Ford Corsair GT 2000E]. It was Monday and the sector was not a particularly difficult one, so I left early and managed to drive off in Gerry’s car [a flash Daimler Sovereign] without being spotted by the waiting column of undercover cars. Gerry returned to the Harrow base in my car and then went on to a pub. Surprise, surprise — he found he was being followed. This time the procession was tailing him. First they waited outside the pub, from there they followed him to the Chinese restaurant and waited outside until he finally went home — at one in the morning. For three weeks after that I used up every trick ever seen in a B film, including lying on the floor of the William Press van and being driven to my car which had been parked up in a helpful lady’s garage four or five miles away (I had converted her appliances on a previous sector) and more fast car chases around the North Circular Road. Every Gas Board contractor in Harrow on the Hill — and there were hundreds of us — knew the men in the Hillman Hunters and, occasionally, to be different, a Triumph Vitesse, were policemen and would constantly wind them up by asking for the time, ‘officer’. They had the time all right. What they didn’t have — for a while — was the opportunity. They finally brought in a van with mirrored one-way windows and observation vents side and top, which they parked in front of my van. When this arrived I promptly turned my van round so they could only see our rear. Even so, all they could have learned was how to convert gas appliances, play poker and tell jokes. It may seem incredible to the seasoned reporter, though readily acceptable to the general reader, that the First of May Group had no plans to blow up Harrow School, and the police had no reason to watch me at work on a William Press’s conversion van. One thing that drove the police crazy at this time was that after a week of following the Corsair, I started turning up for work every Monday morning in a brand new car. Sometimes I changed my car twice or three times in a week. The police couldn’t understand what was going on. What had happened was that a friend — a member of the People Show, an improvising radical theatre troupe — had a day job managing the Hertz Rental office at Luton airport, and he was providing my car fleet. The police went to Luton to question my friend as to who was renting these cars, claiming they had been used in a spate of bank robberies in the London area, but he refused to tell them anything unless they provided a court order, which they never did. It took them almost six weeks to discover where I lived. They watched and waited until I left for work one morning, then they made their move. Having watched me leave, they sent a woman detective to ring the doorbell…’ But that’s another story entirely.'
