pensnestI discovered, not many days ago (when Beast reported to me something he had heard on the radio) that Maggie Thatcher wanted to do something about global warming during her time as Prime Minister. And if she hadn't had Nigel Lawson standing in the way, something would have got done.
This is not only the best thing I know about Margaret Thatcher, it is also solid proof that we need a greater variety of education in our MPs. Thatcher was educated as a scientist (chemistry, I think) and was prepared to look at the evidence and believe it. Lawson studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford.
How many of the blighters nowadays have done PPE at Oxford and think that qualifies them?
