Jeremy Thorpe, leader of the Uk Liberal party in the seventies has died. He was quite a decent man, an early supporter of the anti-apartheid campaign for example, but forever blighted by the allegation that he tried to have a former lover killed.

The attempted killing court case was brilliantly satirised by Peter Cook:

Peter Hain, one of Great Britain’s most odious hypocrites, a supporter of Blair’s blood-soaked policies in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine, was once an anti-apartheid leader.Paul12.2.1
The Panel especially dire today.
Maybe the problem is Mora because Simon Mercep made it a tiny bit better.
Barry Corbett talking about his daughter getting a job, Andrew Clay asking for work busking jobs in Christchurch and ,worst of all, Mora dragging out a desperately dull and pointless discussion about some awful song, simply because his son liked it and it had many you tube hits.Are these really the important issues people want to talk about ?
Would love to hear your opinion, Morrissey, on it.
But then , you’ve probably given up on the show.
Quite understandably.- The Panel especially dire today. Maybe the problem is Mora because Simon Mercep made it a tiny bit better.I agree. Mercep is better, more serious, more thoughtful. I can’t imagine him joining in with the likes of Chris Trotter and laughing at the plight of political dissidents being traduced, persecuted and hounded into exile by rogue states.Would love to hear your opinion, Morrissey, on it. But then , you’ve probably given up on the show. Quite understandably.No, I haven’t given up on it. I still listen whenever I can. I’ll post up my rush transcript—-okay, okay, Te Reo, Felix, McFlock and other fans out there, it’s my hastily dashed and imperfect approximation of a transcript and would be laughed out of court by the St. Louis County Grand Jury—-in the near future.

Your transcripts usually fit well with my prejudices. I can’t ask for more than that in life.
