I could understand that if the current Government was leftwing, but it really isn't - as far as I can see, it's now distinctly to the right of Thatcher, and pressing ahead without any signs of a slowdown. It really does baffle me why it isn't yet as unpopular as Thatcher was in 1991.

Perhaps because a lot of Thatcher's unpopularity wasn't related to infringements of personal freedoms and privacy, which people are notoriously blase about, but was more related to cutbacks and unemployment, which this government have a much better record on.

You may be right. Unemployment in Leytonstone is amongst the very worst in the country, so I tend to forget that it's improved elsewhere.
