DescriptionDepicts Margaret Thatcher standing on a piece of land in a suit of armour brandishing a sword, next to a cake and a headstone that says 'Winter of Our Discontent RIP'. Underneath, holding up the ground she is standing on are men of different trade unions including, one from the BBC, one from the London underground service, one from Rail services, one from the Amalgamated Engineering Union (AEU), and one Fireman. They look unhappy. There is a grave to the side that says 'Arthur'.

This cartoon may refer to [the supposed end of the 'Winter of Discontent', and the end of strikes from the trade unions that went along with it].
