Born into a Cult
Katy Morgan-Davies tells Nicky about life in her father鈥檚 strict communist cult in London, how Lord of the Rings saved her and escape.
Katy Morgan-Davies was born in a nondescript house in Lambeth in London, but thirty years later the world would discover she, and the other occupants in the house, were anything but ordinary. Katy was born into a strict communist-Maoist cult, didn鈥檛 know who her parents were, wasn鈥檛 allowed to get any education, leave the house or even look out the window. She escaped in 2013 when one of the other women held there memorised the number of a charity, who arranged their release.
Katy tells Nicky how she learnt her worldview from a copy of Tolkien鈥檚 Lord of the Rings, how she never wanted her father to go to prison and forgiveness.
