Organise Against an Organised State
Organise Against an Organised State, Hooligan Press, around 1984.
Hooligan Press were based in Brixton, South London, in the 1980s and published anarchist and squatting books, pamphlets and comics including The Faction File.
Perhaps building on the experiences of the late 1960s and early 70s - when demonstrators became more organised when confronting the police, the 1980s saw a transition in policing on mainland UK - from an approach in the late 1970s where "bobbies" had truncheons, and in extreme cases would cavalry charge on horseback into crowds, to fully tooled up militarised riot police with shields, crash helmets, body armour and mass crowd photographic surveillance.
In the meantime, in Northern Ireland the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) and the British Army introduced "rubber bullets" - 17 civilians, including children, were killed by the RUC or the British Army firing rubber bullets, often indiscriminately into crowds, between 1970 and 1989.
