For perspective - Siege of Sidney Street
A disturbing melange of criminally-minded immigrants, termed revolutionaries, the armed response, close involvement on the part of the Government represented by the Home Secretary, to what today would inevitably be called terrorism. Not for the first time; nor the last.

Come to think of it there wasn't much else back then apart from the print media.
