About Allan Burnett
- Allan Burnett (12 January 1925 in Glasgow – 10 October 2007 in New Zealand) was a Scottish anarchist activist.
- He was a member of the Glasgow Anarchist Federation in his youth.
- When, in 1943, he resisted conscription to the British forces during the Second World War, he was sent to Glasgow's Barlinnie Prison and later to Slateford Prison, Edinburgh as one of 61.000 British conscientious objectors.
- At his trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court he said that “I refuse to be pitchforked or led into slaughter, like so much human manure, or to be duped into the lunatic butchery of my comrades and fellow workers of other geographical spheres who are like-wise enslaved in a system of organized misery imposed on them by their respective ruling classes.”After his prison sentence he moved to London and spent time in a number of communes.
- He also travelled to France and Italy.
- Shortly after his marriage, he moved to New Zealand where he lived for the rest of his life, never returning to Scotland.
