Class War is a UK political party based around the Class War tabloid newspaper – both started by Ian Bone in 1983.

Claiming to be anarchist, it’s more a ‘Bash The Rich!’ pseudo-gang with its roots in the 70s punk movement dedicated to violent confrontation and vicious parody appealing to the lowest common denominator in order to provoke chaos rather than any structured political programme or ideology: including intimidating pupils at Eton College and long promised attacks on the Henley Regatta that have in practice come to little. Their stickers tend to be popular with teenagers and tertiary students wanting to be rebellious.

Its main claim to fame was the Saturday 31 March 1990 Poll Tax Riot in London’s Trafalgar Square (the worst riot in the UK since the 17th century Gordon Riots), which was blamed on Class War agent provocateurs – by less than a coincidence the only organisation there during the various anti-Poll Tax rallies in London that day who supported the rioters unconditionally. Later footage from Channel 4 showed that unprovoked assaults by still unidentified police officers and fear in the crowd they were about to be charged by mounted police had also been to blame for the riot.

They were originally supported by the anarchist chart topping band Chumbawamba (who did fundraisers), but they withdrew their support after Class War republished a joke photo session the band did claiming to be that of an anarchist hitting a businessmen in a suit with what they claimed was a shit-filled condom as ‘genuine’.

They were the first party to propose a 50% ‘Mansion Tax’ on properties worth £1 million and over, later copied by many other parties during the 2015 UK general election (although the idea was originally that of Liberal Democrat politician Vince Cable in 2009).
