English People's Liberation Army

The English People's Liberation Army was a paramilitary English nationalist organisation.

History

The Army's ideology called for the independence of England

According to the Dictionary of Terrorism, it was "extremely weak" but had "undertaken isolated bomb attacks". In 1983, it claimed responsibility for a parcel bomb sent to the headquarters of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

Barberis et al. claim that the organisation may have had links to the Oliver Cromwell Republican Party, founded in 1977. This minor organisation, led by Paul Pawlowski, later renamed the Republican Party of England, is best known for its leader's demonstration against the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981.

gollark: If doing nothing creates more evil than some sort of complex evil-creation system, then a good evil maximizer would decide to switch to doing nothing, if it was made aware of this.
gollark: Probably less bad stuff, though, than an organization which is actively trying to do bad stuff and is somewhat good at it.
gollark: Competent evil is going to do lots of evil things. Not-very-competent not-evil is not going to do many things, but at least it won't do many evil things.
