Ian David Bone[1] (born 28 August 1947[2] in Mere, Wiltshire) is an English anarchist and publisher of anarchist newspapers and tabloids, such as Class War and The Bristolian.[3]

In 1984, British tabloid newspaper The Sunday People described Bone as "The Most Dangerous Man in Britain".[3][4]

Activities

Ian Bone is the son of a butler, and has said that this background greatly contributed to his later political outlook.[5] He studied politics at Swansea University, becoming an active anarchist throughout the 1960s to early 1990s.[3] He set up the anarchist agit-mag Alarm in Swansea.[3] In 1983, with others, he established the anarchist paper Class War. The confrontational style of the paper led to Bone becoming an infamous figure in the politics of the 1980s.[6]

In October 1994, Bone organised the Anarchy in the UK festival.[7]

In 2001 he revived The Bristolian, which fielded candidates in the 2003 Bristol city council elections and was runner-up for the Paul Foot Award for investigative journalism in 2005.[8]

Tangent Books published Bone's autobiography, Bash the Rich, in 2006.[9] To promote the book, Bone organised a "Bash the Rich" march through Notting Hill, claiming he would march on David Cameron's house.[10]

In September 2018, Russia Today broadcast footage of Bone doorstepping Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, shouting "Your daddy is a very horrible person" and "lots of people hate your daddy" at his young children.[11] Bone's targeting of Rees-Mogg's children was widely condemned.[12][13]

In May 2021, Bone unsuccessfully stood for election in a council by-election in Croydon.[14]
