Scope and content
Harold Wilson, dressed as Nelson, stands on the deck of the "HMS In Place of Strife" (which is marked on one of the deck cannons) looking through a telescope; approaching he sees another galleon flying signal flags saying "Stop or else"; the approaching ship has James Callaghan's face as the figurehead and a TUC flag at the stern.
[As Secretary of State for Employment, Barbara Castle was also appointed First Secretary of State by Wilson, bringing her firmly into the heart of government. She was never far from controversy which reached a fever pitch when the trade unions rebelled against her proposals to reduce their powers in her 1969 white paper, 'In Place of Strife'. This also involved a major cabinet split, with threatened resignations, hot tempers and her future nemesis James Callaghan breaking ranks to publicly try to undermine the bill. - source: Wikipedia.]
