[edit] Satire of Thatcherism?

It is claimed in the the article that the film contains a satire of Thatcherism. I can't see it myself, just a few references to post-industrial captitalism in general. Besides, the film was produced in 1979 so Thatcher couldn't have been in power for more than a few months during filming and was most definately not in office during the creation of the screenplay and the pre-production work.
