# Your Britain - Fight for it Now (education)

A ruined classroom with a broken slate reading 'education 193-' frames a bright modern school where children sit at desks, under the words 'Your Britain' and 'Fight for it now'. The tell is the before-and-after contrast and the possessive 'Your', which ties a welfare ideal to the viewer's personal stake in the war.
