@classicraceruk1337 Rubbish!! I'll tell you what has changed. The mindset of the youth. Most people under 30, 35 even. (I have looked into this whole subject!) Thatcher successfully tapped into the individualism of the post war period, that was gaining traction in Britain. The working class and the lower middle class were doing much better since all the reforms, that had been ushered in post war, since the Bevan report etc. They were becoming much more middle class and aspirational. It was the "baby boomer" thing, as it came to be called in the US. * The ones in the UK no longer wanted to be trapped in the "flat cap" stereotype/lifestyle. They had their eyes on better things! *Thatcher was clever because she saw/intuited this. Mix all that with a bit of rubbish about the "go-getter" mentality; talk about bad unions and inflation, and she had several generations within her grasp.
Well all that is no more. The go-getter society is dead; the fat cats and landlords have eaten up all the wealth, and the C1s, C2s and C3s (yes, I know market research terms!) are no longer upwardly mobile.
Hence their disillusionment with Blairism, Thatcherism's intellectual heir.
Enter socialism. 🙂
