A cheap point I know Tom, but I couldn't resist it.
Actually, I feel quite sorry for Jeremy Thorpe, he was a fine speaker and held views which he passionately talked about. I heard him speak at a Liberal rally at Hove Town Hall in 1973 during the Hove By-Election. He was hounded by the press, and although acquitted, his association with Norman Scott tarnished him to the end.
Ironically the same people who now rush to establish their pro-gay credentials were strangely silent, when this man needed their support.
