Scope and content

We see a man labelled 'Unemployed' stuck in a chimney labelled 'The inefficient economy'. Geoffrey Howe is seen lighting firewood labelled 'Reduced benefits', watched over by 'The Rich' and Margaret Thatcher.

Context: by this time there were 3 million unemployed in Britain, with the number projected to increase, yet the Tory party were not instigating measures to combat this and were cutting benefits to those unemployed.
