Overview

Red Circle was a socialist discussion group with links to the International Marxist Group. It was infiltrated by HN340 'Andy Bailey' and HN299/342 'Michael Hughes'. There are a number of SDS reports on the group despite a complete absence of public order-related activity. As its activties almost exclusively revolved around discussion and debate it was mainly used as a 'stepping stone' by the SDS into other groups - especially the International Marxist Group.
