I found out today that a former member of the ICC, who posted here and other places with the user-name of Rowntree, died earlier in the week.

I met him when he came to the Midlands Discussion Forum in Birmingham about 5 years ago, and have considered him a comrade ever since. He was a warm and insightful person with whom I had some fruitful correspondence over the last few years. His death is a loss to the very small forces of the Communist Left at the moment.
