Thatcher

The Tories venerate Thatcher as an icon but they appear to have a poor (or deliberately slippery) memory of what she actually advocated and what she opposed.

Not hugely surprised she had an eye on environmental change given her background in chemistry.

Some facts did still matter to her.

The attachment to reality and the pragmaticism that came with it was always a strength of the Conservative Party, both when governing and electorally.
