DescriptionDepicts a grinning Margaret Thatcher flying a plane into the ground with the words 'Poll Tax' on it. There is someone in the back of the plane telling the passengers 'The pilot has asked me to have a quiet word with you...'. Michael Heseltine and Nigel Lawson are pictured outside the plane with parachutes, presumably having jumped out.

[This most likely refers to the upset at the poll tax and how Thatcher lost the support of Heseltine and Lawson].
