Mark Rowe

Communist

Firefighter Mark Rowe started driving Gordon Nash from his Wallasey home to the Communist Party of Britain meeting place in Liverpool when he became a little unstable on his feet.

“I probably shouldn’t say this but I sometimes looked forward to the trips over and back more than I did the meetings because he was such a wonderful colourful character,” he admits.

A local radio lunchtime chat show also benefited from Gordon’s input, Mark recalls. “Gordon would be on there regularly. In the workplace we would be shouting at the radio and then Gordon would come on, arguing our point. He was such a wonderfully calm speaker.

“He was devoted to the Morning Star. He always sold it. Gordon was a one-man sales unit for the paper.”
