Karl Pearson - such as heredity and eugenics. Galton died in 1911 and left the residue of his estate to the University of London for a Chair in Eugenics.

Livingstone made perhaps his most controversial move in December 1982, when the GLC extended an official invitation to Sinn Féin leaders Gerry Adams and Danny Morrison. In the event, Adams and Morrison were denied entry into the country under the Prevention of Terrorism Act and met with Livingstone in Northern Ireland instead. Such actions made Livingstone a favourite target for the press, which referred to him as "Red Ken" and associated him with the "Loony Left," alongside Tony.
