Sir Alec Douglas-Home was Tory leader when Labour won the 64 General Election. Heath came later.

I have to say of all the terrible people featured on this great series thorpe to my mind is one of the most despicable. He may not have had such wide reaching effects but how he treated others, Norman and his wife in particular, just awful, a real scumbag this guy. Despite him essentially sexually assaulting Norman, a very young man with mental health issues then using him and throwing him away all Norman ever wanted was the ability to work and have, of all things a national insurance number and thorpe couldn't be bothered to do that little thing for him which led matters down a very dark path.

I agree with everything what you say, but why did Scott need to pester Thorpe for something as mundane as a missing National Insurance card? He wasn't even his MP. Why not either contact his own MP, or inform the DHSS as it was then known?
