Rowley Leigh

For the first thirty years of his life Rowley Leigh did not believe in manifestos. At Cambridge he was an anarchic situationist – an outfit so loonily extreme it toppled off the left-hand edge of the political stage. By definition, situationists did not belong to parties. They were in the game of ridiculing and mobbing up the proliferation of leftist factions (there was nothing active on the right) that swept the politicized world of student unrest in the late Sixties. Remember Paris – les Evénements? Grosvenor Square?
