The spgb is historically in many ways a very British institution if with an internationalist outlook, but genuine socialist/communist ideas whether from a Marxist or anarchist tendency still get attention in many countries because of their continuing relevance today. The spgb has mostly avoided or downplayed the personal attributes of many of it's most active members and others they respect past or present, but I think made a sensible choice in this case to say a bit more about this very interesting and principled individual as illustrative of both their background circumstances and struggles often against the odds. So see here:
