The Angry Brigade was a British anarchist group active in the early 1970s. They were known for their series of bombings and attacks aimed at government buildings and institutions, protesting against the political climate and social injustices in the United Kingdom. Their actions were part of a broader wave of radical activism during that period. The group was formed in response to various issues, including police repression and economic inequality. In 1971, members were arrested, leading to a high-profile trial that brought attention to their motives and the state of political dissent in Britain. The Angry Brigade's legacy continues to influence discussions on anarchism and protest movements.
