She got away with so much because of the Falklands victory which gave the kudos to take on the Unions . She would never have lasted had the Argies inflicted more serious losses . Blame Galtieri for being a shit dictator

 

 

Eva Perón would have torn Maggie a new arsehole.

"Margaret Thatcher’s government drew up a secret blacklist of its own civil servants thought to be “subversives” in order to keep them under observation and block their promotion, papers released at the National Archives disclose.

 

Whitehall departments worked with MI5 to identify 1,420 civil servants to be closely watched and, where possible, kept away from computers and revenue collection roles.

 

The majority, 733 people, were identified as Trotskyists, and a further 607 as communists. Forty-five were said to be fascists, and 35 Welsh or Scottish nationalists, “black or Asian racial extremists” or anarchists.

 

MI5 also compiled lists of suspect local councillors and active trade unionists deemed to be of similar concern."

So that's where Militant/Momentum got the idea from.
