If we are going down that root how about Tim Scargill or Jim (Bristol)
Jim is definitely a character. It's debateable as to whether he is an anarchist though, even though he refers to himself as one.

I think he was a Marxist-Leninist.
There may be anarchists in Tooting, but they oppose the Popular Front.
In Bloom,
I recognise you have highlighted one aspect of my post and I'm worried that it suggests something that I don't know.
Jonathan advertised his Red Ranblers all across the East Midlands and the walks attracted a variety of Anarchists, Socialists, Trade Unionists and Radicals. He also suffered the attentions of the local press and on one particular unpleasant occasion the BNP.
What is it that I don't know?

I’m sorry to hear that. He was around for so long, he was a fixture in anarchist publications through so many periods and phases, his cartoons seeming to fit in whatever that zeitgeist. Hope his passing was peaceful. Thanks for the art, comrade.

I was sure there was a good interview with Donald in the Camden New Journal a few years back (I think by Dan Carrier) which had a lot from Donald in his own words. A quick google/duckduckgo didn't turn anything up unfortunately.
