About This Item
A collection of political cartoons through the eyes of Michael Cummings, cartoonist of The Daily & Sunday Express.A cartoon history of events since 1961.It reminds us of Harold Macmillan before he became Elder Statesman and Prime Raconteur.It portrays our dear Royal Family who we love to love and occasionally laugh about.We see where the permissive Swinging Sixties have got us.We look at the Third World and those emergent nations we sometimes wish had never emerged.
The agonies and travails of the Labour Party command our horrified fascination,as does the continuous Communist East versus the Democratic West horror show.The relationships with our maddening allies - French and American - are lovingly portrayed.We can sympathise with the tribulations of Edward Heath,and follow, step-by-step,the earth-shaking events of the Thatcher era.
Since April 2013,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering its prices,weight allowances, dimensions and lowered its compensation rates too!
