Read the following explanation before looking at the picture!
Most Syrians struggle to even read Arabic, much less have a clue about English.
So, how do a group of Syrian protest leaders create the most impact with their signs by having the standard "Death To The British"(etc) slogans printed in English?
Answer: They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and write their statements into English.
Unfortunately, in this case, they were unaware that the "civilian" insurance company employee hired for the job was an ex 2nd Para Sergeant! Obviously, pictures of this protest rally never made their way to Arab TV networks, but the results were PRICELESS!
Bus Fare to anti British protest Rally £7.55
Paint and Canvas for protest signs £38.75
Asking a ex Falklands veteran of 2nd Para to translate your anti British signs into arabic
PRICELESS
