Description
Poster, produced by the Morning Star. The poster reads "Fall Out with Thatcher, No nuclear weapons - Morning Star". In the background is a 'mushroom cloud' which is produced by the explosion of nuclear weapons.
The poster was made to campaign against Margaret Thatcher and her government, especially in relation to the production of nuclear weapons - a key issue in the Cold War. The poster is also a play on words, suggesting people "fall out with Thatcher", as in taking a dislike to her, as well as suggesting that Thatcher's government could lead to nuclear fall-out.
