I've watched the BBC-series A very English scandal with Hugh Grant as Jeremy Thorpe and Ben Whishaw as Norman Scott. It seems clear Thorpe was guilty of incitement to murder his former lover Scott. The judge was a scandal telling the jury: www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-12-30/the-real-history-behind-a-very-english-scandal-and-the-jeremy-thorpe-affair/The jury got the clear message and aquitted Thorpe and the other plotters. If you're upper class, you get way with murder. Great series. The charming and somewhat muddled Grant of Four weddings and a funeral and Notting Hill is a charming but deviouls and cold-hearted politician, thinking himself above the law. Ben Whishaw plays the unstable stable boy, a somewhat hysterical drama queen, black-mailing and threatening but the only one who speaks the truth. Thorpe is dead, this series could not have been made before, he would have sued them for libel. But I don't get this social insurance card. Was there no way for Scott to get this?
