Indirectly what Thatcher did had quite a bit to do with the EU and their red tape but she was more interested in battering the Unions. Look at the damage that has done. 0 hours contracts for one, the scourge of Britain. Poor working conditions like in these big places like Amazon for another. Shorter breaks. No more canteen facilities in factories, it's all vending machines. However that is irrelevant. The EU started getting too big for their boots in the mid '80s. It stopped being a Common Market and became a Political Union. This is when the problems all started. Has nothing at all to do with pre '80s
