NAYRT

On the one hand, from the in-universe Watsonian point of view, Harriet Jones' decision is clearly justifiable. On the other hand, from the out-of-universe Doylist point of view, her decision is clearly justifiable, and this is a case where they are really on the nose about this - it is a very clear-cut analogy to non-science-fictional things from our world. That doesn't mean you have to read it that way, but I think the argument for doing so is pretty clear cut (apart from anything else, Doctor Who is and should always be fiercely anti-Thatcher).

Other Doctors get called out when they cross that line. 10 never does.

I don't think that's true. Isn't calling all that out pretty much the entire point of the specials and the ultimate denouement of the character?

Sorry, there's a typo. From the out-of-universe Doylist point of view, her decision is clearly *not* justifiable.
