It was a mess, right enough. But she tore down everything she should have been protecting

from the Stalinist union bosses and the defeated managers. She destroyed industries, communities, what remained of wartime national unity, and the United Kingdom (still hanging on, but won't be for long).

There were other ways of curbing the unions, but she wanted blood. She is why we are in the mess we're in today.
