Actually I think the ships shown in the lower half of the poster are usually doing a bit more than protecting Scotland.
Mostly they will be busy defending the UK's interests in some foreign adventure that Scotland has had no say in the propagation of.
One security guard managed to deal with Scotland's only terrorist attack.
Is the 1940s propaganda poster style deliberate or just unfortunate ?

Please don't repeatedly post the same drivel - we get the picture.
The thing is, those tanks and battleships aren't used defending Scotland's interests, are they?
They are used to promote futile foreign adventures like Tony Blair's illegal war in Iraq.

Of course, you're quite right as usual. No more tanks or warships from me.
That's an interesting statement you make about Tony Blair's
illegal war.
Never knew it was illegal.
Presumably he's been arrested ? If not has anyone ? Seems about as serious a crime as you could commit. I'll watch the trials with interest.
What law did he break by the way ?

Iraq war illegal, says Annan
The United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has told the BBC the US-led invasion of Iraq was an illegal act that contravened the UN charter.

Yes. I recall that.
Was he proved right ?
If he was right what action was taken against Blair and the UK ?
