From the October 2024 issue of the Socialist Standard
Readers will have noticed that there have been no articles for a while from ALJO who wrote the Material World column and was a prolific contributor to our blog. We ourselves have not heard from him in Thailand for well over a year.
Alan joined the Edinburgh Branch in 1970 while a teenager and rejoined in 2003. Before his retirement he worked for Royal Mail and was an active member of the Communication Workers Union.
If anyone has any information about him or his whereabouts could they please get in touch with us.
Sadly, you can't help but fear the worst. Obviously, you want to be proven wrong.
ReplyDeleteAlan's such a lovely guy, and I have good memories of the few times we met in person. Such a stalwart for socialism, who put in so much work for the cause over many, many years. He's missed both as a friend and comrade, but also for his unstinting contribution in putting forward the only sane alternative to capitalism.
