- Description
The Prime Minister, Sid Holland, as one of the three weird sisters from Macbeth, blowing up the fire under a cauldron labelled 'Stirling crisis plans', while is it stirred by the second sister, Jack Watts, Minister of Industries and Commerce and watched over by the third sister, Keith Holyoake, Minister of Agriculture and of Marketing. A parody of the relevant lines from Macbeth reads 'Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble / Fire burn and cauldron bubble / Portion of importers' cake / In the cauldron boil and bake / Export figures from a cow / Beads of sweat from farmer's brow / Promises all glib and neat / For a charm of powerful trouble / Like a hell-broth, boil and bubble'.
