Description | In the middle of the cartoon there is a sign, with the words 'road closed' written on it. Beneath that is another sign, with an arrow pointing to the left which reads 'Detour via Snap Election at suggestion of Tories'. To the left, [Edward Heath] waits, depicted with a huge nose, holding a net, with two other men, one of which is holding a club and the other is holding a spear. [Harold Wilson] and a group of men are depicted in a car, looking happy, driving off in the other direction to the one the sign suggests. [Potentially referring to the outcome of the 1974 general election]. |
