Veg Wedge
Steven Wells, NME, 23 May 1987
With Crass, Poison Girls and Flux in either retirement or a state of change, and Conflict in trouble, the anarcho-punk movement is in tatters. STEVEN WELLS finds leading lights of the scene willing to talk to the NME for the first time in years, and discovers the amazing irony that the breaking point was moralism.
