Sure they declared war over Poland, but what did they do to try to help Poland?

They commenced firing on German ships at sea, The Scheer was bombed within a few hours of the declaration of war.

Would you expect the Brits to start bombing cities ? the war hadn't got that desparate yet.
Or do you think they should have shipped off their only two fully-equipped divisions to help the 40 Polish against the 62 German divisons ?

The Brittish and French could have attacked Germany from the west while the German army was attacking Poland. The Germans were in no position at the beginning of the war to fight on two fronts simultaneously.
