Coming out of the memory if the union strikes of the 70s and early 80s, the number one economic goal of Thatcher's begining premiership was to break the strength of organized industrial labor.
Through a combination of draconian policy implementation and iron will she was able to do so successfully.

The question that I posit here though is what if said methods came with massive blowback, the likes of which we saw here in the US during the early 20th century in West Virginia?

What if british industrial labor, fed up with Tory policy, decided to act violently as a means of insurrection against Thatcherism? (instead of strikes, have bombs and firearms)
