A patient lies in a hospital bed with a chart at the bottom depicting the UK economy going into decline. A woman holding flowers sits by the side of the patient and and on the other side sits an engineer with a AEU [Amalgamated Engineering Union] written across his work clothes and is holding a wrench with "Time ban" written on it. The image reflects the condition of the UK economy as it went into a recession between 1973 and 1975.
