Wombles - The Wombles (an acronym for White Overall Movement Building Liberation through Effective Struggle) are a group of hardcore London Anarchists who wear white overalls to demos.
They crop in the lyrics for The Libertines' song "Time for Heroes".
Did you see the stylish kids in the riot?
Shovelled up like muck and set the night on fire
Wombles bleed, truncheons and shields
You know I cherish you my love.
