Over here (UK) in the late 70s a lot of punks identified with Thatcher, for reasons usually more visceral than ideological. Not always: I remember a punk band called Chelsea whose "famous" song was "Right to Work", with indecipherable lyrics which I took to endorse the obvious position. Not so: I came across an interview with the lead singer a few years ago in which it was became clear this was an anti-union song.

Actually, Bush and co seem a lot more like La Thatch than Ronnie ever did, now I come to think of it...
