| Description | Margaret Thatcher reclines on top of a temple roof, with Douglas Hurd standing as the left column as Home Office, John Major standing as the central column as Foreign Office and Nigel Lawson (right) running away from his post of Treasury. [Alan Walters] is at the top right diving off of the temple roof with the speech bubble declaring "I've decided".
[Likely refers to Walters and Lawson resigning in reaction to disagreement over Britain joining EMS (Europe's Exchange Mechanism' as mortgage rates increased due to the rise of the Deutschmark, and Margaret Thatcher's shrugging off of suggestion of trouble in her cabinet. Major, after the briefest of stays at the foreign office, moved back to the treasury as Chancellor, and Hurd replaced him.] |
