Spreading the anti-imperialism message far and wide
Long-time trade union organiser ROGER McKENZIE is looking forward to a new era as he moves to a new role heading up the anti-colonial organisation Liberation
Anti-colonialism

IT IS such an honour to be elected as the new general secretary of Liberation. I follow in the footsteps of the legendary Maggie Bowden. 

Maggie has long been an inspiration to me in the fight against imperialism and I thank her for all she has done. 

I am delighted that she will be continuing to play a leading role in the organisation as president alongside the equally inspirational former leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn.
