Yes, except: Thatcher came along later (elected in 1979)—the core British punk scene developed circa 1974-78 with bands like the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Stranglers, and so on. (Thatcher undoubtedly turbocharged things in the 80s, though.)

The Sex Pistols were a boy band created by Malcolm McLaren, to promote the clothes sold by the fashion boutique SEX which he ran with his then wife Vivienne Westwood. (So much for punk being authentic!)
