1. BAD TASTE — Cormac #34.
2. Caption: "The noise seems to reach fever pitch — they are howling for the blood of the unions — but a voice calls for silence —" "SSH!"
3. "Let's have some quiet round here — there is a voice I haven't heard yet! The voice of the workers' friend!"
4. "Yes, it's TONY BENN!! Come on, Tony — give it to us — slam Callaghan — castigate Healey — denounce these iniquitous attacks on the unions —"
5. (Benn puffs his pipe, his thought-bubble blank.) "Oh well, some other time, perhaps."
