I think you need to read more into Thatcher and what happened under her to understand why some sections of society reacted like this.

I don't know a huge amount about Regan, but I doubt you can really compare them.

Britain in the late 70s and early 80s had huge issues which Thatcher addressed, but in hugely contentious ways, in some cases destroying entire industries and their communities.

The structural impact of some choices she made are still present in British society even now, decades later.
