        Not a great deal of sadness, he was a nasty piece of work.

          Wasn't he the one who caused someone to, 'bite the pillow in pain'?

            I'm sure he'll appear in the Jimmy Savile thread eventually, maybe pretty soon now that he's died. Obviously he was in the Liberals with Cyril Smith and was probably a regular visitor to a certain B&B in London.

                  He was the reason for the first satirical political slogan Id ever heard (in the 70s).

                  "Give four liberals a seat. Upturn a bar stool" and "Vote liberal or we'll shoot your dog too"

                    Yes, me neither.

                    I did have a laugh when I seen the picture of the male model. Looks like a farmer.
