Scope and content

Depicts Thatcher 'refereeing' a one-man boxing match in which a man with the words "MIN OF AG" [Minister of Agriculture] written on his shorts is punching himself in the face and stomach. A sign next to him reads: 'Tonite a one-man contest! The Champion of the farmer versus the Defender of the Consumer for the Salmonella Trophy'. At the bottom of the picture is a group of men in suits [one of which is Anthony Barber, who appear to be shouting at Thatcher]. Three of the suited men are holding a banner that reads "CONSUMER FAN CLUB". Thatcher is looking at Barber with disgust.
