Badge, lapel badge
This badge was produced in the wake of the 1979 general election that brought Margaret Thatcher's Conservatives to power. It was sold by a small left-wing group who were followers of the Chinese revolutionary Mao Tse-Tung. The badge was purchased by a member of the Museum of London's staff from a street stall for 20p.
