John Maclean has became almost a martyr to many in the Pro-Indy Left.

He advocated for revolution and was incredibly popular when alive.

He was imprisoned due to his anti-First World War stance and just shortly after being released due to him going a 4 month uninterrupted hunger strike. Theslipperylemur (talk) 19:24, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
