Ernest Rogers (1914–2004) was a Trotskyist activist based in Glasgow, Coventry and London during the twentieth century.
After a brief period back in Glasgow, the family moved to Leeds, where Ernest attended meetings by Lew Davies and A. J. Cook.
Here Rogers was influenced by Guy Aldred and became involved in the free speech agitation in defence of tramp preachers.
[1] During the Second World War, on which the League took a revolutionary defeatist position, Rogers served three months in HM Prison Wormwood Scrubs for identity card offences,[1] after which he retired from political activism.
Rogers was close friends with C. L. R. James, with whose group the Leninist League had discussed a merger, and Raya Dunayevskaya who stayed with him during her trip to England.
