Added to that, due to the scarcity of groups, individual anarchists hardly ever meet. This was not so in the '60s at the time when Freedom was a weekly and was sold extensively in the parks and outside factory gates and was also available in public libraries. There was no attempt at hiding our identities. I have in front of me the issue of 24th June 1967. On page 2 of the weekly there are four columns of detailed and accurate addresses of groups and meetings under the banner heading of 'The Anarchist Federation of Britain'.
Today there is a dearth of groups within a two-hundred mile radius of London.
Back then the list included over fifty groups from Altrincham to Trowbridge. I can assure you there was such a person as Gerry Bree, and I can attest to at least one vast evening meeting by the Lever building where I had the privilege to be a guest speaker. But to continue. Every one of those groups was bona fide. Perhaps not all of them would have wished to put their name forward, but there was always somebody who did not give a toss.
