Political Activities
From 1925 to 1964, Ridley spoke every week at Speakers' Corner in London's Hyde Park.
Ridley was one of the founders of the Marxian League in 1930. This small group might have become the British Section of Trotsky's International Left Opposition, but in 1931 Ridley and another member member, Chandu Ram (H.R. Aggarwala) wrote Thesis on the British Situation, the Left Opposition and the Comintern, with which Trotsky disagreed. Ridley then joined the Independent Labour Party, writing regularly in their paper.
