Monopolising the Party Machines - A Summer Dip with Lloyd George and the Liberal Politicians (July 1914)
EDITORS COMMENTS
This political cartoon, titled "Monopolising the Party Machines," depicts a lively scene at the seaside resort during the summer of 1914. The focus of the image is on Chancellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd George, and a group of Liberal politicians, who are seen taking a leisurely dip in the sea, representing their hold on political power. Lloyd George, with a confident and relaxed expression, is quoted as saying, "Hammering on the machines, are they? Well, let 'em hammer! We're not going out for ever so long!!," indicating that they will not be giving up their political power easily. The politicians in the cartoon are shown holding hands in a circle, symbolizing their unity and solidarity. The background of the image features Hansard bathing huts, a popular seaside attraction during the early 20th century. The cartoon's title, "Monopolising the Party Machines," refers to the Liberal Party's dominant position in British politics at the time, with Lloyd George and his colleagues holding key positions in the government. The cartoon's playful tone and imagery of politicians enjoying a day at the beach contrast sharply with the political tensions and international conflicts that were brewing in Europe at the time. The image serves as a reminder of the human side of politics, even amidst the pressures and challenges of political power. This historical cartoon, with its rich political and social context, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and provides valuable insights into the dynamics of British politics during a pivotal moment in history.
