Date20 February 1990
Extent1 cartoon
Creator NameGibbard; Leslie David (1945-2010); cartoonist
DescriptionDepicts Margaret Thatcher sitting alone on a sinking island with her arms folded. A sign hangs from a palm tree stating 'I wish to be alone.' There are three ships around her with the passengers looking at her. The first ship is labelled 'Sanctions,' the second 'German Unity,' and the third 'Disarmament.'

[This likely refers to how Thatcher, over a very short period of time managed to alienate herself with NATO, the European Commission and the Commonwealth, mostly with her foreign policy decisions. (Source: The Guardian 20 February 1990).]
