 | | Duncan Hallas, who has died aged 76, was one of those who came to Trotskyism during the second world war. |
 | | Duncan joined the strike, and the only parade that anyone attended was the one for rations. |
 | | Duncan, having imbibed, arranged the children on the stairs, and proceeded to lecture them, eloquently and at length, on the rise and fall of the Comintern, a subject on which he subsequently wrote an excellent pamphlet. |
