		Grimond was imbued with enthusiasm and curiosity about politics, reflected in his involvement in the school’s Political Society, of which in 1932 he became President.
		Grimond, however, rejected any thought that the Liberal Party should be satisfied with a role as a ‘brains trust standing on the sidelines of politics shouting advice to Tories and Socialists alike’.
		Grimond could do what no Liberal had done for many years: appeal to the younger generation of voters, who, as the first products of the Butler Education Act and of post-war universities and polytechnics, were not necessarily committed to the apparently class-dominated major parties.

	Guardian \| Richard Wainwright
		Sometimes, particularly in the case of Jo Grimond, leader from 1956 to 1967, he took the high-flown generalities about the party and its organisation, and translated them into the detail of workable structures that the somewhat anarchic party activists would accept and operate.
		A key aspect of such practicality was his role in the five-strong organising committee, chaired by Frank Byers, which, in the early 1960s, largely sidetracked the party's cumbersome committee structure with its all-embracing remit to do whatever was necessary "to strengthen the impact of Liberalism upon the electorate".
		Following a Jo performance, there would usually be a short silence before Richard would gently ask, "So what do we do with this idea?" Bit by bit, with Richard's prompting, a workable project would then often emerge.

		The 'Jo' was a tribute to modern communications, for previously the papers had called him 'Joseph'.
		But Grimond told the 1965 assembly that `our teeth are in the real meat' (often incorrectly rendered, though not by Mr McManus, as `the red meat').
		Suppose Mr Grimond - without embracing the attitudes of M. Poujade, or even of Mr Martell - had laid down that the object of the Liberals was to replace, not the Labour Party, but the Conservatives.

		Jo never told me that in 1950 - his first year in parliament - he had helped lead opposition to the Attlee government's craven attempt, under pressure from South Africa, to prevent Seretse Khama (later president of Botswana) from returning to his native Bechuanaland after marrying an Englishwoman.
		In the early 1950s, he argued for Scottish self-government, European integration, the removal of trade restrictions and the establishment of a press council, and later spoke in favour of ITV and the possibility of "pay as you view".
		(Jo's objection was that he did not want anyone with bees in his bonnet because he had enough of his own.) To the end, he operated in his constituency out of an upstairs room in the house of the aunt of the local party secretary.
