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.
His father worked at Lockheed, Leamington, where he was a shop steward and stood as a communist candidate in Leamington just after World War II, very nearly winning the seat.
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!
John joined the Communist Party in the 1940s and held various positions, including chair of the Midland district committee of the CPGB in ’70s and part of ’80s.
