In 1984, "The People" branded Ian Bone 'the most dangerous man in
Britain'. They weren't far wrong. From the inner city riots of 1981
to the miners' strike and beyond the butler's son and founder of
Class War was indeed a greater thorn in Margaret Thatcher's side
than the useless blatherings of the Official Opposition. Class War
were the real opposition! It was Ian Bone who linked the inner city
rioters of Brixton and Handsworth with the striking miners. It was
Bone who "The People" spotted rioting with miners in Mansfield,
attacking laboratories with the Animal Liberation Front and being
fingered by the "Guardian" as the man behind the 1985 Brixton Riot.
But that was only the half of it...from 1965 to 1985, from Swansea
to Cardiff and London the mayhem spread countrywide. In "Bash The
Rich", Ian Bone tells it like it was. From The Angry Brigade to The
Free Wales Army, from the 1967 Summer of Love to 1977 anarcho-punk,
from Grosvenor Square to the Battle of the Beanfield from the Stop
the City riots to Bashing the Rich at the Henley Regatta, Ian Bone
breaks his silence. In the 1980s, Ian Bone was 'The Anarchist In
The UK' with a half brick in one hand and an incendiary pen in the
other. How did the child who lived in a fabulous English mansion
and saluted the AA man from a Rolls Royce come to be the man who
famously promised to Bash the Rich and leave Hampstead a
smouldering ruin? Where do David Niven, Keith Allen, Rik Wakeman,
Douglas Fairbanks Junior, Cynthia Payne, George Melly, Flanagan and
Allan, Yoko Ono Pope John Paul and Lofty from Eastenders fit into
the story. Why did Gregory Peck send Ian Bone a Get well card? This
is no dry tome destined to gather dust in leftie bookshops. Against
a background of all the major outbreaks of disorder of the time
it's a startlingly honest, funny, warts n' all scream of rage from
a gutter level anarchist prepared to fight "by any means
necessary". That "the most dangerous man in Britain" is at liberty
to write books rather than serving a life sentence for sedition or
being hung for treason will be the first question on every MP's
lips as this smouldering anarchist bomb hits the bookshelves.
