Talk:The Angry Brigade

message: To call the Angry Brigade trial a 'political trial' isn't an NPOV, so I'll change it to 'criminal trial', which has a strict meaning within the English legal system. Countersubject 15:04, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Please excuse my ignorance of English law, but I would argue that whether English law classes this as criminal is irrelevant. The Angry Brigade's acts were solely political, with some of the accused being put on trial because of their politics and not because of any evidence against them. This, I would argue, would make it a political trial whether English law deems it so or not. Ants 00:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

text: You are most certainly correct. What I'm trying to say is, with Wikipedia being an encyclopedia, would the trial when analysed be perceived to be a political trial? Re-reading the article I agree that you were right to change it to criminal as the sentence was specifically referring to the length of time the trial lasted for. However I would still maintain that this was a political trial in a wider context. Not just because the prosecution may have been politically motivated (again, I agree that this would be opinion), but because the Angry Brigade's actions were most certainly politically motivated.

replies: text: Agreed. Or the fact that the Amhurst Rd arrest of the Stoke Newiington 8 led to spurious material being introduced into Jake Prescott's trial for the bombing of Robert Carr's house less than a week before its start. There is no discussion of the ab/mis-use of the charge of conspiracy and the entire debate that that engendered.Jatrius (talk) 05:36, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

message: :Although the group purported to represent "the autonomous working class",[3] when the police arrested nine suspected members of the group, only one, (Jake Prescott, who was arrested in Notting Hill) came from the working class; the other eight, four men and four women (arrested together in Stoke Newington) were middle class student drop-outs from the universities of Cambridge and Essex.

In the mid-70s I was a neighbour of Jim Greenfield's father, who was not middle class. He once informed me there was a ready market for any scrap metal I might be able to liberate from my place of employment -- not a usual topic of conversation among the chattering classes, or so I'm led to believe.
Not every Oxbridge undergraduate is middle class (just most of them).

I was there, it was clear that they were ANGRY, but apart from that what they actually wanted was never clear; what did they hope to achieve?
