Default Gay MP Jeremy Thorpe scandal: attempted murder case to reopen

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...case-to-reopen

(Norman Scott believes alleged hitman Andrew Newton is still alive)


like on the BBC1HD TV series
Police took notes
but did nothing
as it was just another Gay MP
and in 1978-1979
they were not spoken about.


On Sunday
after the final 3rd episode on BBC1HD 9PM
http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...d.php?t=338133

at 10PM the BBC reporter
that kept a destroyed Panorama
is being shown at 10PM on BBC4HD

Never heard of this man. I'll have to give it a watch. I wonder if this happened in the US before my time... people being murdered for their sexuality in even high positions. We don't hear about it today. Only that people had to live mostly closeted.

I'm old enough to remember this when it happened and it was so clear Jeremy Thorpe was guilty. It was on the news every day for months.

The term 'pillow biter' came from the last trial. Interesting fact. Relatively interesting...

Yes The BBC destroyed all their copies
of Panorama
after the court case went the wrong way
for what they had recorded.

Well done the reporter (Tom Mangold)
who was that Panorama Reporter
who kept his own Private
VHS copy and got it transferred to a Disc
in time.


10PM is docu
on BBC4HD.
Sunday


And the Final Episode of the Series
is 9PM BBC1HD Sunday

Anyone know what the link is between Jeremy Thorpe and William The Conqueror?

Spoiler:

They both shagged Normans.
