LM network resources
Kenan Malik in 2009

Kenan Malik is a sometime academic and now writer and is associated with the libertarian and anti-environmental LM network. He stood as an RCP candidate in the 1987 and 1992 general elections (1992 in Birmingham Selly Oak, coming sixth and last with 84 votes and 0.2% of the vote[1]), was active in Workers Against Racism in the mid 1980s, has written for Living Marxism and Spiked [2], spoken at Spiked events, the Battle of Ideas and the Brighton Salon and Leeds Salon. He studied neurobiology (at the University of Sussex) and history and philosophy of science (at Imperial College, London).[3]

Free speech and racism

One of the signature positions of the LM network is that they say they are defenders of free speech. In general, however, it is the free speech of the right which is at the top of their agenda. Malik is no exception. In an early example - in 1996 - Malik was invited to debate with Chris Brand the then Edinburgh university Psychology lecturer, whose book The g Factor argued that black people were less intelligent than whites. The debate was organised by the Edinburgh branch of Cafe Cyberia. This was a company run by Keith Teare of the RCP whom Malik first met when he used the pseudonym Keith Tompson in the 1980s through the RCP and Workers Against Racism. Following consultations with the police the event was cancelled, to the delight of the Anti-Nazi League which was then running a strong campaign against Brand. According to the Press Association: 'The event was being hosted by Channel Cyberia, a 24-hour scheduled Internet web service. They said: "It is with regret that the organisers have taken this action as freedom of speech is the singular most important quality of the Internet." They had acted on the advice of Lothian and Borders Police who said they could not guarantee the safety of people attending the debate.[4] The Scotsman reported:

Keir McKechnie of the Anti-Nazi League said he was delighted. "It has denied Brand the platform that he so desperately seeks. Brand saw it as an opportunity to get his book back on the agenda."[5]

Malik was quoted as saying: "We condemn the Anti-Nazi League for its attempt to suppress free speech. The last time someone tried to suppress one of our meetings it was the National Front."[5] A few days earlier Malik was reported as having 'offered to put the book out on his web site on the Internet.' "I think it would be a good idea if it is published because it's a debate that should be held," he reportedly said, "...all the different arguments should be available."[6]

Some years later - in 2001 - Malik gave the following account of the abortive meeting in Edinburgh:

Then there was the time I was invited, with the writer Marek Kohn, to debate with Chris Brand, an Edinburgh University psychologist and self-styled "scientific racist". A disciple of Francis Galton, the 19th-century founder of eugenics, Brand believes that black people are genetically less intelligent than whites. We never got the chance to challenge these pernicious views. The Anti-Nazi League protested that there should be "no platform for racists" - and the organisers complied.[7]

Given that this was an event organised by a company owned by core RCP members this might not seem the whole picture.
