Linda brought up her dead husband, not Jim. He only referred to the situation for a reason as to why Linda hates him... She originally brought up the incident too, by saying she had him thrown out of a club, but forgot to mention the reason why. Jim was not the one to blame, he was sticking up for Frank Carson, it was Linda's husband who was the criminal, who had been stealing money & not just £25 either, but various amounts of money over a number of weeks (including money collected for a charity). I think the deeper rooted reasons for Linda are that her husband was not the wonderful man she wants to remember him as & she is taking that anger out on Jim, who was completely innocent of any wrong doing...
