Scope and content

Margaret Thatcher opens a door bearing the words "Private - Cabinet Economic Meeting", which members of her cabinet including [James Prior], Michael Heseltine and William Whitelaw rush through. Only a little of the room remains, as the walls and floor (labelled "the economy") have been demolished, leaving an empty void underneath into which [James Prior] tumbles. Far below, Geoffrey Howe and another figure stand looking up from their plans beside a crane with a demolition ball labelled "Monetarist Demolition".
