Scope and content
Cartoon showing [Baron George-Brown]'s head at the base of a fairground strength tester game, which also has another individual tied to the top. With a dollar sign on his clothing, a man strikes down on the head, causing the person at the top to be struck and yell out in pain. The strength of the hit is measured in £100ms, with this strike reaching up to the maximum of £400m. There is a background decoration of Union Jack flags. Also pictured is Harold Wilson, who appears to be running the game, for he has a roll of tickets attached to him which read [UOI and NON]. There is also a fifth individual standing behind the man playing the amusement, who has 'DM' printed on his clothing.
