Mostly the cheapness then...

It must be said, given everyone involved apparently thought they were delivering a searing indictment of Thatcherism I don't think there is much of that one screen - beyond the fact that the evil dictator is female. I don't think a desire to be loved and agreed with by everyone was really one of Thatcher's faults. As [livejournal.com profile] daniel_saunders notes the tale is much more about social conformity and enforced jollity than anything particularly specific to 1980s conservatism.
