LDG/1/1/118 · Item · 5 September 1973
Part of Illustrations by Les Gibbard

A Man holding a piece of wood with a nail through it rolls up his sleeves and speaks the words of the cartoon's title. On his right arm is the message 'TUC'. The woman he is addressing is an old lady sitting on a stool beside a broom. To her left we can see a pumpkin and two mice, bringing further references to the Cinderella fairy tale.

[News from 3 September: Britain's largest union, the Transport and General Workers' was leading a campaign for better pensions and was set to demand that the TUC should lead industrial protest action as an essential part of an intensified fight to raise the single person's pension to £10 and that of a married couple to £16 immediately.] (Source: The University of Kent, British Cartoon Archive)

Part of Illustrations by Les Gibbard

Edward Heath stands at the end of a hospital bed presumingly repeating the title of this cartoon and holding a chart. Behind him is a [surgeon] holding a sign, but it is turned away from the viewer. A frail looking man sits in the bed wearing a face mask with "Pickets" written on it. His hands also appear to be tied behind his back.

There is a rough sketch on the reverse side which depicts the same scene, but in a different layout.
