| Description | A worker at Cowley car factory leans against the wall, making a V sign behind his back aimed at Harold Wilson and Don Ryder, once dubbed "Harold's Favourite Tycoon"; Wilson is saying to Ryder "Upon reflection, I think we can now dismiss it [the gesture] as some kind of tuning fork".
From Wikipedia: In 1975, in a desperate bid to stem Britain's accelerating industrial decline, the recently elected Wilson government created the National Enterprise Board (NEB), as part of a more interventionist economic strategy. Don Ryder was ennobled and appointed to chair the NEB, which he did between 1975 and 1977. He was involved in the creation of the Ryder Report, a restructuring plan for British Leyland during the 1970s.
