Ian's very first pamphlet was anti- huntin shootin and fishin. He contrasted a hypocritical speech of Prince Charles about Gandhi and non-violence with his latest massive bag of slaughtered birds, lauded in the shooting mags. The royals learn how to handle a twelve-bore when they're in the cradle. Ian was forever outraged by cruelty to animals. At the time, Ian threw a brick through the West End window of a prominent gunsmith, and wrote a poem about it. (SEE The Night Purdey's Got Done)
Ian was always an original. He never chose to call himself an anarchist, he was just that way inclined.
