My friend Gwyn Jones, who has died aged 75, lived and breathed revolutionary politics, and was always restless for change.
Any news of an uprising somewhere in the world sent him into raptures, and he would be itching to become involved in any way he could. He went to live in Spain in the mid-1970s after the end of the Franco regime, supporting socialist causes there, and spent a number of years in post-Soviet Romania and Hungary on a similar mission.
