Scope and content
At the beach, life guard Anthony Barber sits back relaxing in a deck chair next to a life bouy labelled subsidy. A hand with a bag attached [possibly Margaret Thatcher] is seen floundering in the water.
Context: The Chancellor of the Exchequer told the Commons that the argument against massive across-the-board food subsidies was overwhelming, that is would be enormous and have to be met by increased taxation. He said that the family income supplement was a better way of helping the needy than upvalued or extended family allowances. (Source: University of Kent Cartoon Archives).
