1 cartoon

Set in a forested landscape with a wooden archway with signs that read "North Sea Reservation of the Britannica Tribe" and "No Speculators or Exploiters - By Order". Four cabinet members are shown dressed as Canadian Mounties. [Norman Tebbit] leads a huge working class man labelled "Unions" who is shackled with a bicycle. On a tree is a poster of the same man, who is wanted "For the winter of discontent job". [Michael Heseltine] holds up a "Wanted - for overspending" poster showing a man in ceremonial robes while strangling the same man by his ceremonial necklace. Margaret Thatcher is ready to hand over deeds to two men with fur coats and cigars, in exchange for donations to the "Mounties benevolent fund". In the background [Geoffrey Howe] chases away a crowd of people in flatcaps and Native American headdresses carrying their bags with them.
