Cartoon features [Michael Foot] holding a protest placard that reads "strike" as a giant hand labelled "anon" reaches down from the sky and lowers an [olive] tree branch at Foot's feet. The tree is labelled "industrial relations court". It is likely that the cartoon relates to Foot's protests over the first Wilson administration's attempts to reform trade unions.

Margaret Thatcher dressed as Cleopatra stands on a platform looking at a plan of a pyramind. Behind her are two men [one Ken Clarke] bandaging a mummy labelled 'Tory economic policy'. Off stage there are shouts of 'Down with Cleothatcher' and 'Bring on the asp'. In front of the platform there is a procession of slaves pulling a huge stone. The first stone says '17 per cent' on it, and on top of it sits Geoffrey Howe, brandishing a whip. A speech bubble above the slaves says 'Now that you mention it, it doesn't look anything like a Temple to Capitalist "know-how"...'. Behind this first stone there is another labelled 'mortgages', and to the right of the image, there is another in the distance labelled 'VAT'.

Cartoon depicting Harold Wilson and [Barbara Castle] atop a tall structure which protects a collection of bones labelled 'Pay Rises'. Wilson hides the largest bone behind his back and wears an expression indicating a fear that the hierarchy of dogs beside them may soon reach their hiding spot. Each layer of the dog pile is dressed or labelled differently, with flatcap-wearing dogs at ground level below the two layers of unions which are depicted angrily showing their teeth to the Prime Minister. The fourth layer is shared by those in education and [the police force], whereas royalty is shown to be the cloest to reaching upwards and claiming the pay rises.
