Jenny Patrick
Jane Hamilton Patrick, born Jenny Hamilton Patrick (1884–1971), was a Scottish anarchist of some standing, and played a crucial role in a number of radical organisations. Patrick was a printer and typesetter by trade. She became active in politics, when she joined the Glasgow Anarchist Group by 1914. She was also a partner of Guy Aldred's for some thirty years until his death. Patrick with other anarchists had an ambivalent attitude towards the formation of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), and along with Aldred, she helped form the Anti-Parliamentary Communist Federation (APCF) a breakaway group. The key points of contention were the proposed use, by the new group, of parliament and its relationship to the Labour Party. This is seen as a left-wing break from the communist movement and Comintern's view is best encapsulated in Lenin's '' "Left-Wing" Communism: An Infantile Disorder'' with its comments chiefly directed at Sylvia Pankhurst.

People Convicted Of Sedition
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Anarcho-communists
Anarcho-communism, also known as anarchist communism, (or, colloquially, ''ancom'' or ''ancomm'') is a political philosophy and anarchist school of thought that advocates communism. It calls for the abolition of private property but retains respect for personal property and collectively-owned items, goods, and services. It supports social ownership of property and direct democracy among other horizontal networks for the allocation of production and consumption based on the guiding principle "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". Some forms of anarcho-communism, such as insurrectionary anarchism, are strongly influenced by egoism and radical individualism, believing anarcho-communism to be the best social system for realizing individual freedom. ...

The Strickland Press
The Strickland Press was an anarchist publishing house in George Street, Glasgow which was established in 1939 by prominent member of the Anti-Parliamentary Communist Federation (APCF) Guy Aldred. Bequest and foundation In 1938 Guy Aldred's friend, socialist and liberalist Sir Walter Strickland, died leaving Aldred a fortune "for socialist and atheist propaganda". Aldred began work straight away buying premises and machinery and proceeded to reprint all his old pamphlets, before he had actually secured the money. Strickland's family then contested the will citing the fact that socialist and atheist propaganda was illegal under Czech law (Strickland had become a naturalised Czech subject after the creation of the state of Czechoslovakia). After a protracted legal battle, Aldred was left out of pocket only to be saved, financially, by the Marquis of Tavistock. Through Tavistock's support, Aldred was able to begin work on his monthly ''The Word'' - periodical of the United Sociali ...
