George Stone (1907–2001) was a British socialist journalist. Born in Fulham,[1] Stone studied at the London School of Economics[2] and joined the Independent Labour Party (ILP). During World War II, he worked for the Aeronautical Inspection Department, and he subsequently moved to Glasgow.[1] In 1947, he became joint editor with Frank Ridley of the party's weekly newspaper, the Socialist Leader and, when Ridley resigned the following year, he continued as sole editor.[3] Stone stood for the ILP in Glasgow Bridgeton at the 1955 general election, taking only 7.4% of the vote in a seat the party had held until 1947.[2] He stood again at the Glasgow Bridgeton by-election, 1961, his vote declining further to only 3.1%.[4] By this point, he was also Chairman of the Scottish Divisional Council of the ILP.[5] Soon afterwards, he began working as a sub-editor with the Glasgow Herald, quickly becoming Father of the Chapel of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ). In 1966, he was appointed as the full-time NUJ official for Scotland and Northern England, serving until 1975.[1] References1. ^1 2 Harry Conroy, "George Stone", Glasgow Herald, 9 March 2001 {{s-start}}{{s-media}}{{succession box2. ^1 The Times House of Commons 1955, p.213 3. ^David H.
