An elephant labelled '10.9% INFLATION' is stepping on someone on the floor trying to move, who has 'BUSINESS' written on the floor next to him. Someone with a whip is holding a hoop up for a lion to jump through that says '7%' in the centre. The lion is standing on a podium with 'LOCAL GOVT.' written on it. Margaret Thatcher is in the middle smiling at everything while in the background there is a frowning crowd looking on at it all.
