The GTF arose as a result of a rift that developed in the Finchingfield branch of the Women's Institute during the 1970s. Two distinct factions had emerged with very different beliefs and politics - the first became known as the Scones Group, which advocated a conservative attitude based around afternoon tea and jam-making. The second group based their beliefs on anarcho-Maoist philosophy and advocated a violent uprising opposed to capitalism and American imperialism. Eventually, the WI branch split after ugly scenes during their weekly meeting at the local church hall during which the anarcho-Maoists inflicted terrible injuries on their ex-comrades by attacking them with cake-slices and jars of preserved apricots.

abstract	The GTF arose as a result of a rift that developed in the Finchingfield branch of the Women's Institute during the 1970s. Two distinct factions had emerged with very different beliefs and politics - the first became known as the Scones Group, which advocated a conservative attitude based around afternoon tea and jam-making. The second group based their beliefs on anarcho-Maoist philosophy and advocated a violent uprising opposed to capitalism and American imperialism. Eventually, the WI branch split after ugly scenes during their weekly meeting at the local church hall during which the anarcho-Maoists inflicted terrible injuries on their ex-comrades by attacking them with cake-slices and jars of preserved apricots. Deciding to form a new group, the anarchists styled themselves as the Old Ladies' Popular Front and began carrying out sporadic attacks on targets such as premises owned by American businesses and banks, none of which were particularly successful and were considered merely a nuisance by the authorities. By 1973, the group had established links with the Rote Armee Fraktion (Baader-Meinhof Gang) of West Germany and had been supplied with weapons by them. Around this time, the group became more organised and new leadership formed, with a Mrs. Dorothy Jenkins-Harris becoming the group's commander. Under her regime, the previously-rather ramshackle OLPF took on a worrying new shape as she developed training methods and formed links with other groups experienced in bomb-making. The first attack carried out using explosives took place in July 1974 when a device was detonated inside a US Airforce base in Suffolk, causing several hundreds of thousands of pounds damage. The following day, a letter was received by the US Embassy in London demanding a full withdrawal of all American military presence in the British Isles immediately, in the name of the Free British People. The letter was signed Grannys' Terror Front (GTF). These three letters would become infamous during the next two decades as the Front carried out an escalating campaign of terror and violence that would end only with the eventual arrest of the organisation's leaders.
