The anarchist Stuart Christie ( famous for smuggling in a bomb to Spain in 1964 to try to assassinate Franco) died on 15 August. In his autobiography My Granny Made Me An Anarchist he recounts the following anecdote about an incident in Glasgow;
”Robert Lynn revelled in the forums, which he called the University of Life. They certainly had their moments. I remember one exemplary SPGB graduate speaking mounting the platform, drawing a ten-shilling note from his pocket and holding it dangling from his thumb and forefinger for a quarter of an hour or so while delivering a devastatingly witty attack on money. The audience of thirty or so were spellbound. There was not a single heckler, until he set fire to it.”
