Still protesting with passion in our 70s | Letters

Your letters page has allowed the renewal of a friendship begun in the 1960s when, as students of Nottingham Regional College of Technology, the two of us formed the Students’ Liberation Front for a Free Press to express our outrage at the censorship of our student newspaper, Iota, for publishing a pregnancy test advert. So powerful was our leafleting campaign that the college authorities began an investigation into the Trotskyist infiltration of the student body and called in the police.

Now in our mid-70s, we still find plenty to protest against. By having occasional letters published in your paper, we have rediscovered in each other our undimmed political passion, as reflected in the words of Antonio Gramsci: “Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.”
