The cartoon shows Margaret Thatcher as a High Priestess of Wealth with her chancellor, Geoffrey Howe, throwing school leavers into the abyss of unemployment. Meanwhile Northern Ireland secretary, James (Jim) Prior, expresses his doubts to William Whitelaw, Michael Heseltine and other so called 'wets' about the efficiency of hard-line policies (source: Gibbard at the Guardian Exhibition Guide).
