RCP/Spiked/IoI

Thatcher described the initial AIDS awareness campaign like 'writings on a toilet wall', but eventually came around to understand the importance of such an awareness campaign. The RCP were being their contrarian selves with their stance on the issue.
 
Kate Marshall , former general secretary of the RCP. I vaguely new her when she used to go out with another RCP member called Nick Fielding.He became an investigative journalist but used to write for Shelter's housing magazine

Now Chief Exec of Notting Hill Housing and going by her original name of Kate Davies. Has written various pieces for Conservative Home and was chair of the Centre for Social Justice's "Housing and Dependency Working Group".

Another graduate of the University of Kent, I see - old Ferudi was really knocking 'em out.

So, basically, another tory cunt.
 
A friend of mine is ex-RCP - but she's also sane, sensible, now thinks that her erstwhile comrades were a cult, and remains on the left.

Looks like she's the only one of whom that could be said, though.
 
An ex comrade writes :

When I was a student in Manchester in the mid-1980s I became a member of the RCP and Kate Marshall, as she was then, was a very prominent member of the party and wrote several books for them. At that time her partner was Mick Hulme who went on to be editor of Living Marxism and Spiked-online. Oddly, in 1992 I bumped into Kate as I was doing a post grad course at the University of Westminster (formerly Polytechnic of Central London) and she was on a (separate) course as well. She did say helo to me but I go the distinct impression she didn't really want to chat to me. Whilst most of the more prominent members (Mick Hulme, Frank Furedi, Fiona Fox) of the long defunct RCP continue to develop their brand of libertarian marxism, Kate seems to have completely jumped ship and decided to make lots of money and become friendly with rather unpleasant tories.
 
Still, when you're trousering close to £200k a year, I suspect it's true that there's only things like the local WI getting fined for flyposting left to worry about.

There's a sound bloke on the Revolutionary History editorial committee who was a former supporter of the RCP. I remember him mentioning one time that when he joined them as a supporter in the late 70s, he was the first supporter/member without a University education. He's since got a PhD.

Paul F? It always surprises me he was one of theirs, as he is remarkably sane
