King Mob

King Mob were an English radical group based in London during the late 1960s/early 1970s.

They were a cultural mutation of the Situationists and the anarchist group UAW/MF. They sought to emphasise the cultural anarchy and disorder being ignored in Britain, with the ultimate aim of promoting proletarian revolution. They derived their name from Christopher Hibbert's 1958 book on the Gordon Riots of June 1780, in which rioters daubed the slogan "His Majesty King Mob"' on the walls of Newgate prison, after gutting the building.
