	The Poetics of Propaganda: A Biography of David Widgery
		Widgery was among the first of his generation to grasp the significance of the women's liberation and gay rights struggles of the 1970s.
		Born in 1947, Widgery was a victim of the 1956 polio epidemic, and spent five years in reconstructive operations, graduating as he described, 'from wheelchair and callipers to my first pair of shop-bought shoes'.
		Because Widgery was a hippie even before he was a red, he found his place among the underground papers that sprang up to celebrate and spread their vision of the sixties.

	David Widgery - An Obituary
		David Widgery was a walking November the Fifth.
		But this was the same Widgery who could recite André Breton's Surrealist manifesto; who wrote articles on "Fleet Street's Chain of Fools" on psychedelic paper in Oz, which he was later to edit; and who fell for Allen Ginsberg.
		For some, the Widgery cocktail was a bit too heady.

	spiked-health \| Article \| David Widgery: did he lose faith?
		David Widgery died in 1992 at the age of 45.
		Widgery's story is based on the thinly-disguised character of Michael Leibson, the veteran Communist Party GP in Bethnal Green with whom he worked in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
		Widgery personified the convergence of the counterculture of the 1960s and the radical left of the 1970s, expressing both the strengths and the weaknesses of these trends.

	Solidarity (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Critics accused it of sectarianism and argued that it operated – contrary to its professed anti-elitism – as an informal "structureless tyranny" with Pallis/Brinton at the centre of a clique of friends.
		David Widgery's 1973 survey The Left in Britain 1956-68 noted: "Mascot is a hedgehog: small, prickly and doesn't like being interfered with."
		For all Solidarity's engagement in struggle "in industry and elsewhere", its main activity was as a publications group.

		Patrick Hutt uses Widgery as the start and end of his book but much of the middle is a rather general reflection on the nature of general practice and also of "idealism", the quality that Hutt associates with Widgery’s political radicalism and also with the work of being an NHS doctor.
		Widgery acted at various stages as a guiding influence to half a dozen of the best-known names of British feminism, a similar number of early gay socialists, and countless other activists.
		David Widgery wrote several obituaries, the most poignant of which was dedicated to the magazine OZ, where his first and some of his liveliest journalism had been published: "The last part of OZ’s life was spent in a wistful melancholy....

	Socialist Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		David Renton has begun the bold project of writing the history of Marxism through the lives of individual Marxists.
		He distinguishes the notion of 'dissident' from 'classical' Marxism on the grounds that the former were 'people who did not treat their socialism as an inherited canon of knowledge, but at each moment were willing to think their politics anew.
		This is why, enjoyable though the chapter on Widgery is, I think that it is wrong to describe him as a dissident within the IS/SWP tradition; he seems rather to have been one of its best representatives.

	David Widgery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Widgery (27 April 1947 – 26 October 1992) was a British Trotskyist writer, journalist, physician, and activist.
		One obituary described Widgery, who died in London at the age of 45, as "a radical humanist intellectual on permanent loan to revolutionary socialism."

		The impartiality and integrity of the Widgery Tribunal was further criticised in a statement made by a senior BBC reporter who gave evidence to the Widgery Tribunal.
		David Capper said that Widgery has got his evidence "wrong" and was also "very condensed".
		He had told the tribunal that he had seen a man with a gun some two hours before the Paratroopers were sent into the Bogside whereas Widgery had quoted him as saying that this gunman was firing immediately before the Paratroopers were sent in.

		David Widgery was a child of the Sixties, someone who thought he could make the world a better and fairer place.
		I know what decomposed bodies of alcoholics smell like after two weeks, and the noises made when dying in pain, and what happens to a woman's face when she is told her breast cancer has spread.
		However, Widgery used what he found to further his political aims and seems to have had a cavalier attitude towards patient confidentiality.

	Socialism in an Age of Waiting (SIAW)
		David Widgery: “I hoped for a fusion of socialist politics and the underground, who were all emotional revolutionaries but didn’t have any strategy, whereas we had loads of strategy but not much style...
		One of their number, David Adesnik, prefers, quite unaccountably, to concentrate on the far from purely verbal issues arising from Yassin’s achievement of martyrdom (which, after all, is what he sought, so why aren’t his followers happier for him?):
		Widgery, however, who was also a GP in the East End of London, became an expert on Surrealism and popular music (including, for instance, Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith), and, crucially, retained his lively sense of humour, deserves better than to be appropriated by such scum.

	Books - Detail
		It uses the unique perspective of David Widgery’s life to explore these issues, and also considers why medicine at times can be disheartening.
		‘We join Hutt and Widgery on a journey where we reflect on what it is to be a doctor, how medicine can be combined with other perhaps more glamorous activities like politics, writing, rock music, and how we can give meaning to our lives.
		It is an extraordinarily thoughtful and honest acount of how a young doctor with many of the same characteristics as Widgery was approaching the medical and social scene a long generation later - in a world colossally changed but, in the most important ways, the same.

	Philm Freax: Days in the Life of Friends/Frendz Magazine: Jerome Burne
		Then David Burdett turned up from America, he was English but he'd been there for some time.
		He had a bit of journalistic experience, could write, and was certainly good at laying out a package as to where we should be going, what we should be doing.
		And there were pieces that David Widgery would write, saying the whole thing was an indulgent bourgeois wank, totally eclectic, with no coherent line or plan of action.

	Book reviews
		David Miller ed: Tell Me Lies: Propaganda and Media Distortion in the Attack on Iraq.
		This volume contains 32 contributions from a wide variety of writers, which naturally means few arguments are developed at length and there is some overlap.
		Perhaps he is thinking of the jibe by the SWPer David Widgery in his 1976 book The Left in Britain 1956-1968 which makes a similarly daft claim about the Socialist Party.

	I couldn't paint golden angels - Chapter 17
		One named David Widgery, later a doctor and a bitter Marxist sectarian, not to be confused with his relative Lord Chief Justice Widgery until the SWP should take power on Tibb's Eve, and dying too soon for that anyway, referred to me in his book as an "ex-boxer and auto-destructive artist".
		Zwemmer's clientele, brought up on modern art, thought it a great cultural happening, and their delighted Oohs and Aahs gave way to indignant protests against the unreasonable Philistinism of the art gallery when it was peremptorily stopped.
		Not then knowing who Metzger was, I thought at first Widgery was referring to numerous autos of mine that had been smashed up.

		From his point of view, this has been Robinson's hardest political achievement.
		Robinson, still the case study of a 'political pop star,' features in two new books on the subject- David Widgery's polemical history of Rock Against Racism, 'Beating Time,' and John Street's stolid academic survey, 'Rebel Rock' (Blackwell).
		In rhetorical terms pop musicians have two political uses - to raise money (Geldof used all the trappings of hype and hard sell for Band Aid) or to raise consciousness (the RAR and Red Wedge emphasis).
