In 1974 Mr Thorpe seemed very familiar with Licoln's Inn. Of course, in May 1979 Mr Thorpe became equally well acquainted with the interior of the Old Bailey.
Title of video is wrong: no mention of Lincoln's inn (which is another of the inns of court in London).
I'm a Barristers' Clerk and have worked in all four Inns. Lovely to watch this of the Temple in the 70's, very little really has changed....
Why are you corrupt? explain yourself
Wonderful to see the interview of George Thalben-Ball and his organ playing -- his "Elegy" is one of the most beautiful pieces written for the instrument.
",,,or it might be a criminal case; a man might be charged with--you know what? Let's just go back and focus on the finger-loss lawsuit thing."
Putting the lawyers next to the bankers.
Some are crooks, the others are wa...
I had a job interview in the 80s at Lincoln's Inn.It does have a certain atmosphere to it, quite unlike anything else. P.S Not sure 'pupilage' is a real word Jeremy.
It is a real work atleast in the context as a reference to one's time as essentially a trainee lawyer.
It is a real word.
It's real
it means corrupt
Wow wonder what happened to old Jeremy 😂
Lincolns in fields?
The irony
Why does it have Fremantle as the title?
After Thames TV lost the London ITV franchise, they-and all their copyrights- were bought out by Fremantle.
I reckon he blew a few horns in his day
When he talked about his “link to the present organ”….
I bet he used all his connections when he had to defend himself for attempted murder
All of this will be replaced and rewritten in history books by the new comers.
No need to see ghosts where there are none. The NF liked to rewrite history to its liking too.
@@aaropajari7058 It's a real thing, go read the news about statues, museums, and what they are teaching in schools. And 'they did it so we can do it too' isn't an excuse.
@@talontales I dont think anyone can do it, but statues are comemorationalist, not records of the past...that is why they are put of.literal and figurative pedestals. History needs to be relooked at constantly because views change and a debate between narratives is constant...and welcome. No narrative is completely clean or completely false...hense why professional historians constantly have somthing new to say from various directions, as should be so. History is found in books not statues.
However, I do value these amazing traditions, and find Mr Thorpe himself fascinating if troubled.
@@talontales and we need not learn our history in schools but from our own efforts. Traditional history IS being squeezed, but so has the contributions of black people in British history. Both SHOULD recognize there is much to learn.
@@aaropajari7058 Totally agree it begins at home. However, people of black african heritage have very little history here. It's just fact. One should not make up history to fill a racial void to make oneself feel better about one's race... TRUTH is the only option.
or indeed even murder
He was probably bisexual because he got married
It's a shame this guy destroyed his own career by lying about a gay affair. He could have been prime minister.
Not as a Liberal, and I think it was more about the attempted murder.
Virtually impossible - as Leader of the Liberal Party at best he might have become Deputy Prime Minister in a Labour/Liberal coalition, the same as Nick Clegg did in 2010.
Not as a Liberal .....
Jeremy Thorpe, like Jo Grimond before him and Paddy Ashdown after him, could have led the Liberals to first past the post.
@@frankdsouza2425 What evidence do you have to support that claim? Especially as both Grimond and Ashdown DIDN’T in fact get anywhere close to achieving a majority in the General Elections they fought. The Liberal (now Liberal Democrats) Party simply does not have enough core voters to win outright and hasn’t done for over a 100 years regardless of how popular, capable or useless the leader of it happens to be.
I don't think it matters if he was gay
It would of been funny heath and thorpe one gay one that was against women both where European lib pro Europe and Ted lived Europe
