Scope and content
Abu parodies the Conservatives 1959 summer general election campaign and depicts Lord Hailsham (Conservative party chairman) and Charles Hill (then the chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster) putting up a poster to cover up the problems of the H-Bomb, Cyprus, Suez and the riots and deaths at the Hola prison camp in Kenya. Their slogan was: 'Life's Better With the Conservatives - Don't Let Labour Ruin It'. Abu's poster reads: "SUMMER IS BETTER WITH THE CONSERVATIVES - DON'T LET LABOUR RUIN IT!"
