| Date | 27 Oct 1987 |

| Creator Name | Gibbard; Leslie David (1945-2010); cartoonist |
| Description | This 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!" |
