From Michael Ennis
I enjoyed your editorial on Margaret Thatcher’s unique position as a UK prime minister with a science degree and her effect on science in the country (13 April, p 3). I have just read that her admirers are looking for a central London building to turn into a memorial to the great lady.
Seeing that the Royal Institution is still facing an uncertain future despite a recent £4.4 million cash gift, is there a case for their money being used to preserve and invigorate this historic home of British science?
Or would politics prevent it from accepting funding from such a source?
