SIGN IN A STORE WINDOW
'WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1,000 AL-QAIDA TERRORISTS
THAN WITH ONE SINGLE BRITISH SOLDIER!
This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in Campbeltown Scotland
and you are probably outraged at the thought of such an inflammatory statement,,
However, we are a society which holds Freedom of Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty.
And after all, it is only a sign.
You may ask
"what kind of business would dare post such a sign ?"
Answer: A Funeral Home
(Who said morticians had no sense of humour!!)
You gotta love it
God Bless Scotland
