Foot, Michael Mackintosh [Right Honorable] (23 July 1913 - 3 March 2010 )
A British journalist, lawyer, and politician, the Right Honorable Michael Foot in 1992 was made an Honorary Associate of the Rationalist Press Association. He also is an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society and of the Bertrand Russell Society.
In 1952 he became editor of the Tribune in London. He has been a Labour Member of the United Kingdom Parliament for a division of Monmouthshire and for the Devonport division of Plymouth.
His works include Armistice 1918—1939 (1940); The Trial of Mussolini (1943); Parliament in Danger (1959); The Politics of Paradise (1988); and books on Aneurin Bevan and Harold Wilson.
He wrote an introduction to a new edition of Bertrand Russell’s Autobiography (1998).
At the opening of Bradlaugh House in 1994, Foot cut a ribbon, which officially opened the premises. Barbara Smoker, to the audience's delight, introduced him as “a man of letters who used to have some connection, I believe, with politics.”
