Liberal Reforms Sourcework - Help Please

For the OCR History Paper 2 on Tuesday one of the topics that may come up if you're studying Britain In Depth may be Liberal Reforms. I'm having some trouble finding out what the messages of 3 cartoon/sources are. :confused:

If you have seen or heard of any of the sources below, any help would be much appriciated. :smile:

1) Unqualified Assistance - Cartoon of Lloyd George and a "magic cure all" pill machine - I understand it's about the Nat Ins Act but is it for or against?

2) Rich fare - Cartoon showing Lloyd George as a big giant with a small man under the table.

3) The Philanthropic Highwayman - Cartoon of Lloyd Gerorge with a "OAP Fund" box hung round his neck next to a horse.

Hope somebody can help me and if anybody wants any help on other sources, I'm more than willing to help out if I have seen them before.
Thankyou and Good Luck with the last few exams

Hey!

I've done the second of the two sources, so I can tell you what they mean.

2) Rich fare - This source is criticising the 'People's Budget', as it is showing that the 'People's Budget', which was introduced by Lloyd George is wrong, as he wants to forcefully take money from the rich, who are portrayed as being helpless and scared, in order to raise money for the poor. This was because the rich felt that it was wrong to give poor people money, as they believed that it made them lazy, which is why they didn't want their taxes to be raised.

3) In this cartoon Lloyd Goerge is collecting money in order to raise pensions, and the gun shows he's going to force people to give money as he is a highwayman. It shows that he is a charitable robber, as he wants to steal from the rich and give to the poor. Again, its about the People's Budget and how the rich felt it was wrong to give to the poor. Lloyd George is made to seem evil and there is a fire in the background.

I haven't seen the first cartoon on 'Unqualified Assistance' - would it be possible for you to post it here somehow? It would be really helpful, as I'm trying to get to know as many sources as I can incase they come up, and I could help you if I understand it.

Hope this is helpful :smile:

I don't think you are allowed to give out email addresses here, but you should be able to attach it to your post if you click 'post reply' and then on the reply page there are icons at the top, and the yellow square allows you to insert a picture I think.
