From Wikipedia on Fiona Fox: She is the director of the Science Media Centre and a former leading member of the Revolutionary Communist Party. [...] The credibility of the Science Media Centre has been questioned, mainly on the basis of the political affiliations of Fiona Fox, and in particular Fox's links to the Living Marxism group. (

From Wikipedia on Living Marxism: Living Marxism's introduction summarised their outlook as: "We live in an age of caution and conformism, when critical opinions can be outlawed as 'extremism' and anything new can be rubbished as 'too risky'. Ours is an age of low expectations, when we are always being told what is bad for us, and life seems limited on all sides by restrictions, guidelines and regulations. The spirit of LM is to go against the grain: to oppose all censorship, bans and codes of conduct; to stand up for social and scientific experimentation; to insist that we have the right to live as autonomous adults who take responsibility for our own affairs. These are basic human values that cannot be compromised if we are ever going to create a world fit for people." (
