Scope and content
The cartoon shows three members of an orchestra. One is a man, with 'FOREIGN EXCHANGE' written on his music sheet, blowing incredibly loudly on a tuba. The blast of noise from his tuba has caused the other orchestra members to jump into mid-air in shock. One is a woman playing a violin, her hair now standing on end, labelled 'INTEREST RATES'. The other is a bespectacled man playing a cello, labelled 'INFLATION'. Below them their chairs and music sheets have toppled over on the floor. Margaret Thatcher, dressed as a conductor, is watching from the foreground on the right hand side of the frame. She is glaring at the man playing the tuba, holding her finger to her lips.
