This cartoon illustrates Margaret Thatcher's ambitions to rid the country of football hooliganism by removing the passports of hooligans. Thatcher is holding a giant cross with the word isolation on it and a footballer is attached to the cross. [Douglas Hurd] is holding a book called "THE HOLY PASSPORT" and is shouting "EVIL SPIRITS BE GONE!" and is pointing at a building labelled "FOOTBALL HOUSE" with items surrounding it which include: 2 beer cans, 1 lager bottle, 1 lager can, a knife, a British flag, a cosh, a chain, a broke bottle, and a dart. A crowd looks on with awe.

In an parody of the opening scene in 'Hamlet', the beheaded ghost of Edward Heath stands on the battlements of a castle holding a banner that reads "There are alternatives". A crowd of peaople in ghost costumes are ushered out of a door labelled "Rank & File" by Ian Gilmour, and they try to scare Heath with the words "Boo!", "Begone woeful spirit!" and "Shove off yesterday's man!". Geoffrey Howe [as Hamlet] throws a book labelled "The Holy Health Manifesto", but it passes through Heath who merely looks irritated. In the background, Margaret Thatcher [as Queen Gertrude] is attended by two grovelling courtiers.

Context: "There is no alternative" was a phrase often used by Margaret Thatcher during her premiership. Here we see her ministers trying to exorcise the influence of the previous Tory leader Heath, who suggests that there are alternatives.
