The Angry Brigade might be an example, though are clearly well in the direction of the lunatic fringe..
Not so much "lunatic fringe" as "pretty inept". Kind of like "Dave Spart Buys A Chemistry Set". They didn't really achieve much, IIRC, apart from blowing Robert Carr's toilet door off. I actually knew Anna Mendelson when she lived in Sheffield, you know...
Whoever wrote the Wikipedia stub has failed to do his or her homework by the way; the Angry Brigade were not communist at all (libertarian or otherwise), and Stuart Christie had nothing to do with them. There's more about them in I Couldn't Paint Golden Angels by the much-missed Albert Meltzer (AK Press, Edinburgh, 1994).
