What ever happened to Leon Trotsky? Well he never came to Manchester, but Marx and Engels did, and “Orator” Hunt, Robert Owen, the Pankhursts too. We can follow in their footsteps to drink in riotous tales of left wing bravado. But hurry along, for come the revolution one of the first things likely to be abolished is a good pint of ale. So until that time let’s drink to the carbonari, the compadres, communards and comrades.
