New footage has emerged showing ageing ‘anarchist’ Ian Bone hissing insults at children – this time Eton schoolboys.
In the video, the Class War protester follows pupils wearing the public school’s distinctive black tail coat uniforms and brands them ‘inbred w******’.
Bone, 71, sparked outrage yesterday when he confronted MP Jacob Rees-Mogg outside his Westminster home and told four of his six children: ‘Your daddy is a horrible person.’
But as the film unearthed by MailOnline shows, it is not the first time his acid-tongue has been aimed at youngsters.
He led a protest outside the world famous, £32,000-a-year Eton College in Berkshire in October 2011.
Ageing ‘class warrior’ Ian Bone is seen hissing insults at Eton schoolboys as young as 13 as he follows pupils dressed in the public school’s distinctive black tail coat and brands them ‘inbred w******’

Bone’s contempt for the upper class stems from his childhood. His father was butler to Sir Gerald Coke, and as a child, he hated the rich children ‘from the big house’ for calling his father ‘Bone’
In a Class War video set to the theme tune of comedy Jeeves and Wooster, he sneers: ‘All you’ve got is a life of privilege, wealth, women and luxury, how can you take it?
‘There’s only so many quadrangles you can flee down. No good running away to your housemaster, he’s a pervert. He’s a twice convicted sex offender.’
Later, surrounded by fawning fellow protesters, he approaches a group of young Eton boys and taunts: ‘Cower in your doorways, look at you. Where’s your Rifle Corp now? Privileged toffs, your day is coming!’
And in a reference to the age-old ‘Fagging’ tradition of younger public schoolboys being made to serve older pupils, he adds: ‘Scurry back, have a good beating you Fags, You inbred w******!’
A passing woman makes her anger clear and fumes at Bone and his cohorts: ‘I find this absolutely disgusting.’
Bone’s contempt for the upper class stems from his childhood.
His father was butler to Sir Gerald Coke, grandson of the Earl of Leicester, and the family lived in a bonded cottage on a family estate in Hampshire.
As a child, he hated the rich children ‘from the big house’ for calling his father ‘Bone’.
After finishing a degree in politics from Swansea University, he announced to his parents that his choice of ‘career’ was to be an anarchist, and that he would fund it by claiming the dole.

He lived in Bristol, playing in a band, drinking heavily and staying in rented flats. It was in the city that he helped set up Class War, a group dedicated to the violent overthrow of the state.
He divided his time between Bristol and London, still claiming benefits, and now lives in the capital in a £330,000 home with the mortgage paid off, which belongs to his partner Jane Nicholl, 66.
She, too, is an anarchist and was arrested last year for setting fire to an effigy of Boris Johnson on Guy Fawkes night in 2014. The charge was subsequently dropped.
Bone is also known for his links to Jeremy Corbyn’s brother Piers, whom the Class War founder counts as a good friend.
Yesterday, Class War activists launched a sickening tirade at former Eton pupil Jacob Rees-Mogg and his children including his six-year-old son Anselm.
The youngsters stood stunned while their parents tried to usher them inside, but they still heard the full bullying rant demanding to be told how much the family’s long serving nanny is paid.
Bone, wearing a flat cap and leaning on a stick, was filmed shouting: ‘Your daddy won’t answer the question.

‘Your daddy is a totally horrible person.
‘A lot of people don’t like your daddy, you know that. No he’s probably not told you about that.’
The grandfather and father-of-five added: ‘A lot of people hate him.’
The encounter involving the Rees-Mogg’s nanny Veronica Crook – who has been with the family for decades and cared for the MP when he was a boy – lasted several minutes.
It was filmed by Class War and posted on their Facebook page.
When questioned by MailOnline, despite his apparent willingness to bring Mr Rees-Mogg’s children into debate, Mr Bone refused to discuss his family or say how many grandchildren he has or how old they are.
He said: ‘I ain’t going there, no.’
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman condemned the confrontation of Mr Rees-Mogg as ‘completely unacceptable’.
On Wednesday, Bone was filmed delivering a bullying rant to Rees-Mogg’s children and demanding to be told how much the family’s long serving nanny is paid. ‘Your daddy is a totally horrible person,’ he said. ‘A lot of people hate him’
Tuesday’s encounter involving the Rees-Mogg’s nanny Veronica Crook – who has been with the family for decades and cared for the MP when he was a boy – lasted several minutes
He said: ‘No elected member or their family should be subject to intimidation or abuse in that way.’
Others, including Tory MP Ben Gummer, whose father John was Environment Secretary in the early 90s, were equally horrified by the encounter.
He Tweeted: ‘I had my share of this stuff. All I can say is that seeing it done to @Jacob_Rees_Mogg’s children still brings an oh so angry lump to my throat. It is a cruel thing to do to a child, and it will mark them forever.’
However, Mr Rees-Mogg appeared unconcerned about the attack and told Mail Online: ‘It was a small protest by anarchists which not surprisingly was disorganised, unpunctual and short lived.’
He later sought to play down the incident, insisting his children were ‘absolutely fine’, despite the barracking.

But despite his apparent willingness to bring Mr Rees-Mogg’s children into debate, Mr Bone refused to divulge details about his own family or say how many grandchildren he has or how old they are. He said: ‘I ain’t going there, no’
‘I wouldn’t get too excited about it. It was a few anarchists who turned up and it wasn’t very well organised. It wasn’t terribly serious,’ he told LBC radio.
Class War hit the headlines in 2015 when hundreds of supporters ran amok in the East End protesting against gentrification and smashing up the Cereal Killer Café.
Yet far from being a hardened army of working class warriors, the group has been accused in more recent times of drawing support from the middle class.
Some of Class War’s main agitators now include a university academic and a former professor of art history.
