BRITS have slammed the designer behind fake Royal Navy posters which have cropped up at a slew of London's bus stops without warning.

The bold posters depict cartoon Royal Navy personnel with a red target over their faces, and a nuclear submarine in the background.

In huge type, the advert reads: "Become a suicide bomber."

It then goes on to say: "The crew of our nuclear submarines are on a suicide mission.

"To launch their missiles means death is certain, not just for them, but for the millions of innocent people those bombs will obliterate, and for the rest of us too."

The next line, printed in capital letters, adds: "Nuclear bombs are suicide bombs.

"To find out how you can become a suicide bomber, visit: royalnavy.org.uk."

Writing online "anti-army recruitment" comic creator Darren Cullen — the man behind the design — said: "A Royal Navy recruitment poster I designed has started appearing in dozens of locations around London.

"Nuclear bombs are suicide bombs - it is impossible to use these weapons without also killing ourselves.

"Terrorists are willing to commit suicide to brutally murder innocent people, but so are we.





"In fact, we’re about to spend £205 billion on upgrading our ability to do so, according to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

"A country with nuclear weapons is prepared to destroy the world rather than lose a war.

"The British government refuses to rule out first-use of nuclear weapons and has stated it may use them even if its ‘vital interests’ are threatened."

Cullen added: "Due to NATO membership and our alleged Special Relationship, we’re also committed to a nuclear suicide pact with America."

The posters, which have been put up at a number of bus stops throughout London, point potential recruits to a website which demonstrates how the crew of a nuclear submarine must be prepared and willing to destroy human civilisation on command.

They also say the crew would not survive the launch of Trident, if it were deployed.

Twitter users have rushed to ridicule Cullen on social media.

J Davies said: "Please please explain how launching the missile means certain death? I'm desperate to find out how you've come up with that."

Peter J wrote: "'Become a suicide bomber' in bold and red crosshairs on military personal (sic). What kind of message does that send 2 a passer-by?"

Kenneth Armitage added: "Whoever produced tgese (sic) posters should be prosecuted."

Meanwhile, Simon went straight to the point with his comment: "@darren_cullen you are a silly fool."
