I think David Brown shot himself in the foot last week when comparing Margaret Thatcher with Isaac Newton, saying Grantham waited 130 years before recognising him with a statue.
This says more about the mean spirited people of Grantham than the universal fame of Isaac Newton.
Maybe, in time, the universal fame of Margaret Thatcher will reach Grantham and the petty animosity in some provincial minds resolved.
