13/12/1928 – 16/03/2021

JOHN MOORE passed away on Tuesday March 16 aged 92. John was a communist all his life and came from a family steeped in communist tradition.

John studied at Oxford University at the same time as Rupert Murdoch and Shirley Brittain (Williams). Interestingly, he said Murdoch was towards the left in those days!
