Hidden in the grid were the names of nineteen heroes of struggle, from the French to the Russian Revolutions. They were Garibaldi, Rosa Luxemburg, W E Gladstone, Vera Zasulich, Gracchus Babeuf, Fred Engels, Emma Goldman, Georges Danton, Mrs Webb, Bernstein, Karl Kautsky, Karl Marx, Lassalle, Herzen, Lenin, Trotsky, Parnell, Marat and Saint-Just.

There has apparently been some scientific debate as to whether Mr. Gladstone should count as a hero of struggle. The Turtle agrees that there is a case to answer here, but will not engage in self-criticism yet.

When these names had been found in the grid, the remaining letters ought to have spelt out the Blairist slogan, "Tough on Crime! Tough on the Causes of Crime!" Or rather, they would have done, except that a gremlin got into the puzzle, so it actually read, "Tough on Crime! Togh on the Causes of Crime!" Apologies.
