Scope and content
Margaret Thatcher and several cabinet ministers play in an orchestra under the banner 'The Monetarist Newsounds' in a flooded ship. They are reading from a sheet labelled 'There is no alternative.' A man labelled 'Tory Party' and a woman watch the show. The man gestures to a lifeboat out the window in which Edward Heath plays the piano from a sheet labelled 'Consensus,' while Geoffrey Rippon and another figure, wearing a life jacket labelled 'Blue Chip 14' and beckoning out of frame, accompany him.
