The anti Semite election was hardly a general election was it Belton? A very much smaller subset of the population made that choice. When it was tested in a GE, it was rejected. Decisively. So jumping from a point of national interest to one of parochial interest only portrays your values clearly.Cheers BobG

Back to the original point.I missed the show but read the book.I was 7 years old in 1976 when the whole scandal kicked off so was aware that Mr Thorpe was in some sort of trouble.It beggars belief some of the things that went on.Well worth a read Billy.
Didn’t stop you though. Or me.And I would be very surprised if you move in the same Conservative circles as Labour to suggest that not knowing ‘any Tory supporters who chose not to vote...’ Has any meaning to your argument.

I suppose you carry a Tory membership card as well as your Labour one. Just to even things up.
Peter Cook's version of the judge's summing up of this case from the Secret Policemans Ball is comedy gold.It's on YouTube.
