Bone was an active Anarchist during the 1980s and early 1990s when he and others set up the Anarchist pamphlet Class War . The confrontational style of the paper led to Bone becoming an infamous figure in the politics of the 80s. His personal stock at its highest when he appeared on the Jonathan Ross show, appearing to be intoxicated. Ian Bone has since distanced himself from Class War, which has expanded into Australia . Bone was famously dubbed 'The Most Dangerous Man in Britain' in Bristol 's Venue magazine. In 2001 Bone was involved in the Vote Nobody campaign which encouraged residents in Easton , Bristol to turn out for the local election and vote for 'Nobody'. In that same year Ian started The Bristolian , a scandle sheet that purported to give "independent news from Bristol that the other papers won't touch". Freely distributed throughout the bars and pubs of Bristol -- and by Bone himself in Bristol's Corn Street -- the newssheet gained a weekly circulation of over 15000. In 2003, the success of The Bristolian gave way to the Bristolian Party , a chance for the electorate to humilate Bristol's underperforming council. Bone was criticised by some in the anarchist community for his involvement with this campaign. On 1st May 2003 a total of 2560 people voted for the Bristolian Party, which gained an 8% share of the vote within the 12 wards they contested. Bristol City Countil Elections, May 2005 Vote Nobody |
