I hardly think that the opinions of a champagne socialist, quasi-elitist, Respect "party" supporter such as Ken Loach are indicative of the entire country.

I would ask you to compare the feelings towards Thatcher as opposed to Churchill, both were seen as strong war time leaders, both had policies that were largely despised by the left but Churchill was and is universily respected, even beloved by his opponants, I think largely because he held to old school tory ideals of noblesse oblige and had a sense of humour, with Churchill you got the sense he might screw you, but he didn't want to screw you.
Where as even Thatchers supporters will admit she wanted to screw you over but it was 'neccersary'
