TORY chairman Francis Maude yesterday accused Margaret Thatcher's governments of hounding his gay brother into his grave. He blamed homophobic Tory policies for driving gay men into ghettos. Charles Maude died, aged 42, from an Aids-related illness in 1993. Francis said: "If the government had been more willing to recognise gays...a lot of people like my brother would not have succumbed to HIV and lost their lives."
