Deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of friend and comrade John Molyneux. John gave more than 50 years of his life to the struggle for socialism. A great writer, principled anti-racist, a committed activist and a mentor to many young activists like myself.

John was always warm, friendly and helpful. Always on hand to give advice. He would give great feedback, constructive or otherwise, on points you made or pieces you’d written.

Importantly, he was personable. When I had received personal stick on social media for taking a principled stance against the George Nkencho murder, John rang me personally to make sure I was ok and to make sure I knew that he and other comrades were in my corner.

My thoughts are with his partner Mary, his family and his many comrades and friends.

Rest in power comrade
