I feel your pain my friend.
There are so many angles to this.
Thatcher started by crushing trade unions and weakening workers rights. She also pushed the nonsense of -there is no such thing as society, just individual men and women-
The Darwinian type capitalism that we are currently enduring is a symptom of such an ideology.
For me, evidence that the above is a regressive and harmful (for workers not employers) approach can be seen with our Scandinavian neighbours, who enjoy a better quality of life because they pursue the 3rd way.
High wages, high taxes, high quality public services & transport, high quality education.
However their car industry was / is declining, the scandinavian industries in general do well. They are leading in telecom and energy.
