Part of Illustrations by Les Gibbard

The cartoon shows two sides, divided by a brick wall and two heaving gates, on which is written 'HILLSBOROUGH TRAGEDY'. One side is incredibly overcrowded and every face, bar two men in police uniforms on horses, is that of Margaret Thatcher. Some of the Margaret Thatcher-faced crowd are holding up a sign reading 'IDENTITY CARDS UNITED'. One of the policemen is Douglas Hurd, and is shouting down his radio. On the other side of the wall are other men in police uniforms, looking incredibly nervous. They have 'BACK BENCH' written on the floor in front of them, and out of one of their radios is written what Douglas Hurd is shouting in the other side of the wall, "OPEN THE GATES!". Holding the gates shut are four men, one of which has 'STEWARD' written on his back. Behind the police and the people holding the gates is a sparser crowd of people, many holding flowers with bowed heads, looking mournful.
