Tel: 020 7837 4473
John Barker, one-time member of militant libertarian group The Angry
Brigade, discusses his experience of seven years imprisonment, and
answers questions on the Brigade’s outlook and actions.
Between 1970 and 1972 the Angry Brigade, strongly influenced by
anarchism and the Situationists, launched a bombing campaign which
targeted banks, embassies and the homes of Tory MPs. In total, 25
bombings were attributed to them by the police. The damage done by the
bombings was mostly limited to property damage although one person was
slightly injured. A group of anarchists from North East London, the
'Stoke Newington Eight', were prosecuted for carrying out bombings as
the Angry Brigade in one of the longest criminal trials of English
history (it lasted from 30 May to 6 December 1972).
John Barker was one of those imprisoned. John went to prison in 1971,
and stayed there for seven long years. ‘Bending The Bars’ is a
collection of stories written then, and published together for the
first time in 2007. This evening John will be discussing his
experience of imprisonment, and answering questions on the Brigade’s
outlook and actions.
