Title"It's up to you officers to set an example to the troops! Farewell!"
Date27 Oct 1987
Extent1 cartoon
Creator NameGibbard; Leslie David (1945-2010); cartoonist
DescriptionThis cartoon depicts soldiers labelled as 'underwriters' surrounded by tanks labelled as 'market forces'. They are holding a flag that has a 'BP' and '330P' on it. People, who are labelled as 'small investors' are fleeing the tanks, while Margaret Thatcher and Nigel Lawson ride away on horse back. Thatcher looks back at the surrounded soldiers and presumably says"It's up to you officers to set an example to the troops! Farewell!" and alternatively says "Oh, very well - retreat if you must!"
