Cox, Howard and Simon Mowatt. "Horatio Bottomley and the Rise of John Bull Magazine: Mobilizing a mass audience in late Edwardian Britain," Media History volume 25, Issue 1 (6 Jul 2018), pp.100–125. He has two other novels in the pipeline, one about the media, called Radio Signals, the other, a love story, set in Greece in 1981, at the time of a brief political optimism there.

It should be noted though that at the time much of British counterculture regarded them with a certain indulgence, even mild admiration. The underground press, from Oz and International Times to Time Out, ran largely sympathetic pieces on them. The Angry Brigade even inspired a protest song, of sorts: Hawkwind’s Urban Guerrilla, which was a minor hit in 1973. According to Stuart Christie, one of those acquitted in their 1972 trial, an early alternative was ‘The Red Rankers’, largely because it would have been funny to hear then-home secretary Roy Jenkins – he of the rhotic defect so beloved by TV impressionists – attempt to pronounce it. Book Review: Savage Impressions—An Aesthetic Expedition Through the Archives of Independent Project Records & Press John Bull is the name of a succession of different periodicals published in the United Kingdom during the period 1820–1964. [1] In its original form, a Sunday newspaper published from 1820 to 1892, John Bull was a champion of traditionalist conservatism. From 1906 to 1920, under Member of Parliament Horatio Bottomley, John Bull became a platform for his trenchant populist views. A 1946 relaunch by Odhams Press transformed John Bull magazine into something similar in style to the American magazine The Saturday Evening Post.Increasingly through the early twentieth century, John Bull became seen as not particularly representative of "the common man," and during the First World War this function was largely taken over by the figure of Tommy Atkins. [7] According to Alison Light, during the interwar years the nation abandoned "formerly heroic...public rhetorics of national destiny" in favour of "an Englishness at once less imperial and more inward-looking, more domestic and more private". [8] Consequently, John Bull was replaced by Sidney Strube's suburban Little Man as the personification of the nation. [9] Some saw John Bull's replacement by the Little Man as symbolic of Britain's post-First World War decline; W. H. Auden's 1937 poem "Letter to Lord Byron" favourably contrasted John Bull to the Little Man. [10] Auden wrote:

However, by the end of the decade it became clear that marching and public protest was only going to get you so far. A number of more fervent souls decided that the time had come to engage in real armed struggle.Despite this they were taken seriously enough to be the subject of a six month long trial that commanded the media’s full attention and drew an unexpected amount of public sympathy.

Now John’s granddaughters Rachel Claiden and twins, Cath Poole and Laura Carstairs, work at Creeds. Despite the business being sold in 2015, to Sherborne-born Tristan Phillips, it remains very much a family business. Most of the individuals implicated in the Angry Brigade trial kept a low profile in the decades after. Anna Mendelson changed her name and published poetry. Hilary Creek returned to university and ended up in a research job abroad. None recanted their previous life although John Barker, writing in the 2000s, admitted that “some of the rhetoric and righteousness of Angry Brigade communiques now makes me cringe,” adding that “the police framed a guilty man”. By August 1971 the police had located their quarry. Four men and four women were arrested. Half of these – John Barker, Hilary Creek, Anna Mendelson and Jim Greenfield lived in a shared house at Amhurst Road, N16. The others – Stuart Christie, Kate McLean, Angela Weir and Christopher Bott – were all involved in far left/ anarchist politics. It would be another nine months before the trial could begin.

Prices are kept as keen as possible, and they are used by many local magazines for their high quality. Lots of different size sets were available (I’ve seen from No 4 to No 33!), and there was a little paper instruction sheet inside. John Bull later started doing combined sets of letters and picture stamps aimed directly at children (these sets have a three number catalogue sequence, that’s one in the picture below I found on the web). They also sold a very primitive little plastic printing press, which held the frame once the type was set. Initially, he made a living with a weekend book stall in Petticoat Lane market in east London, and building work. His increasing involvement with politics, in Notting Hill via the Claimants' Union – which campaigned to get people the benefits to which they were entitled – and other groups led him eventually into the world of the Angry Brigade. Their aim was to damage property rather than people and no one was killed or seriously injured by their actions. The John Bull Printing Outfit – originally produced by the Charter Stamp Company, a printing firm established in the City of London in 1922 – was among Britain’s oldest and most popular toys.The judge, Mr Justice James turned this down, but he did allow the defence to put a list of questions to potential jurors – the idea being that the more ‘working class’ the 12 members were, in theory the more sympathetic they would be to the defendants.
