Michael Heseltine and Norman Tebbit push a cannon which has 'ABOLITION' printed on the side toward a blindfolded man standing against a 'Viva Democracy' wall with 'ILEA'' on his shirt. Blocking the way stands a group of soldiers, representing London boroughs, with one of them holding his hands to stop them. [Kenneth Baker] stands smiling at the front of the scene reading a report which is entitled 'guilty'. Margaret Thatcher is dressed as Napoleon watching onto the scene.

Context: The ILEA was the 'Inner London Education Authority' which was an elected local education authority for the City of London and the 12 inner London boroughs from 1965 and was abolished by Thatcher's government in 1990 as a result of the Education Reform Act of 1998.
