Thatcher made some necessary and tough reforms, some of which caused the social fabric of the north to collapse - yes, she broke the power of the unions, allowing a new form of capitalism to strive, but the cost was doubling of unemployment, reduction in pensions and the North being impoverished for a generation. The Falklands war brought her a second election victory. Nationalism felt good, even for the neglected and jobless.
