The wisdom of comrade Alexie Sayle

Garibaldi, Italian revolutionary, ends up as a kind of biscuit. It's quite interesting, you know, the number of biscuits that are named after revolutionaries.
You've got your Garibaldi, of course, you've got your Bourbons, then of course you've got your Peek Freens Trotsky Assortment.

"Revolutionary biscuits of Italy
Rise up out of your box!
You have nothing to lose but your wafers
Yum yum yum yum yum!

funny that...Garibaldi has a bit of history in the north east of england...Garibaldi is known to have stayed in Tynemouth House, Tynemouth, now part of The King's School, Tynemouth (where i went to school). A room in the house is subsequently named The Garibaldi Room. There is also a tower dedicated to Garibaldi standing on a hill in Blaydon, just West of Newcastle.
