His reason for stealing the book is not clear beyond him saying they can find it in his pocket "when this is all over". </p><p>During the course of the story we find out that the teenager is from an unnamed northern British town or city, stealing his housemates' unemployment benefits to come to London to assassinate <a href="/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher" title="Margaret Thatcher">Margaret Thatcher</a> while she makes a public appearance at a technical college. We see he has a gun to shoot her and she is due to appear on July 15, which is <a href="/wiki/Swithun" title="Swithun">Saint Swithin's Day</a>, hence the title of the comic. </p><p>Much of the strip is made up of the teenager preparing himself to assassinate Thatcher and exploring his own teenage angst. The final chapter starts with the teenager waiting for Thatcher after writing "neurotic boy outsider" on his forehead. </p><p>It is raining on the day and the teenager manages to get near to Thatcher and starts to pull out what the reader thinks is the previously seen gun. However we see it is actually his hand and as he points his hand at Thatcher he says "bang" shortly before her bodyguards leap upon him and begin beating him. </p><p>While being beaten the teenager thinks, "it was worth it just to see her <i>scared</i>". The last scenes are of the teenager traveling on a train on a sunny day and his final lines are "I don't care if it rains. I really don't care at all." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reaction_and_controversy">Reaction and controversy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=St._Swithin%27s_Day_(comics)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Reaction and controversy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Reaction to the story was hugely positive within the comics community.
