Scope and content
Magaret Thatcher is depicted as a director, standing in front of a cinema, "THE ASSTORYA',' that appears to be showing adult films. The sign on the venue reads 'Thatcher's (Formerly Friedman's) MAGGIEGULA - The Decline and Fall of Industrial Britain; Disowned By Many of its Leading Men' To her left are [Keith Joseph] selling snacks and Geoffrey Howe selling tickets. To her right are a group of opposition MPs including David Steel, Michael Foot, David Owen and Dennis Healy queueing for the show. Above them seems to be a man [Jim Prior] changing the film for the screening. Other signs on the building read 'An Orgy of Redundancies! Rape! Cut & Thrust', 'Lusty Lunacy! Sadism in the Social Services!' and '"Not the way I would have handled it" - Dirty Mac'
