After his time at Sheldon Health Comprehensive School in Birmingham Christopher went to Cardiff University where he studied English Literature. He dropped out for many years, only completing his degree in Bristol Polytechnic in 1984. C J Stone then became a full time political agitator involving himself with the Miners Strike, the Poll Tax protests and the Criminal Justice Act among other protests. He was the author of the column the Housing Benefit Hill which appeared in the Guardian Weekend magazine and described living on council housing estates throughout Britain.
