Dystopian Motif in British Cinema/Art

[Neil]

well the movie is based on the book.... if they turned it into an anti bush thing they didn't get it. Bush is no Thatcher, not by a long shot.

Indeed.  Thatcher fought to save the environment by shutting down those horribly polluting coal mines.  Unfortunately she failed to stop global warming but she will always be remembered as the greenest of the green.

And being a trained chemist, she was instrumental in pushing forward the ban on CFCs.

And best of all, she crushed organized labour, modernizing a Britain that was still trapped in the Depression.  She revolutionized the Labour Party (which was philosphically in the same niche filled today by RESPECT and the World Workers Party today) by forcing them to become Tories themselves.  She stood up to the forces of Communism, Caudilloism and Martinusism.  She made Britain matter again, if only a little.
