This is a review, by Tweet, of Generation Right (2015)
The film was seen as a result of Sheffield Doc/Fest 2015 (@sheffdocfest), on Videotheque

Society does things – things happen – because of inequality.
Norman Tebbit (Lord Tebbit)
Footage of Scargill/ Orgreave/ strikers, but with fleeting mention of civil liberties, and no irony in MT condemning mobs / using police ?

We’ve privatized industry after industry. Government ought not to control business – it doesn’t know how to do it, it interferes.
Thatcher

I don’t believe that economic equality is possible. Indeed, some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy, and keeping up with the Joneses and so on, that is a valuable spur to economic activity.
Boris Johnson
All in all, touches on too many topics in 41 mins, and only establishing Blairiteroots in Thatcherism’s tenuous claims to personal liberty
