Armed Road, Only Road – IMG (1970s).
Watching Trevor Phillips on the telly this morning brought back some happy memories of his student union days. He was the leader in London, later nationally, of the NUS, of an alliance between Labour students and the Communist Party. The Broad Left, who believe it or not tried to recruit me at one point at Warwick, were not fond of the faction I was I was a member of, the International Marxist Group but obviously made exceptions for outstanding cadres.
Around that time one of our favourite IMG chants at demos was Armed road, only road. One solution armed Revolution!
We would be top of the Prevent list.
These days a few former IMG members in the former left wing New Left Review are British to the core
Not most of us I hasten to add.
IMG IMG fear and the dread of the whole bourgeoise.
