See but both the OP and the story I mentioned are from the 7th doctor. This is the 5th. So maybe the 5th's personality was more lib and the 7th was more commie.

Seems likely.

The character of Helen A was intended to satirise then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The character would say, "I like your initiative, your enterprise" while her secret police rounded up dissidents. In the story, the Doctor persuades "the drones", who toil in the factories and mines, to down tools and rise up in revolt, an echo of the miners' strikes and printers' disputes during Thatcher's first two terms in office.
