| Description | Alec Douglas-Home stands on the left of the picture holding a pole with his trousers on the end of it and meekly raising his hand. The trousers have "Envoys" written on them and are being presented to Ian Smith, who stands on the right kicking a black man. Harold Wilson can be seen in the background glaring at the scene.
The image is about Ian Smith's declarartion of independence for Southern Rhodesia and the fallout between British and Southern Rhodesian governments. The Conservative party, of which Alec Douglas-Home was a member, took a more sympathetic view to the Southern Rhodesian government, unlike Harold Wilson who criticised Ian Smith's approach. |
