"Stay alert" - new govenment messaging

[WATFORD zero]

Don't worry, after all the negative feedback, Cummings has re-worked it, ready for tonight

 

[sparkie]

Note the colour change in the Border from red (danger) to green (go).

Noted. A subliminal message for sure.

Personally hadn’t a problem with the ‘new’ one until ive just read your comment over staying at home as much as possible...if thats the case why change it?

As regards to Scotland I’m not interested in what Sturgeon is saying all she is bothered with is getting one over Westminster

What about the rest of the Union rejecting the change?

This. We all signed up to staying home on the implicit understanding that by doing so we would be helping protect the NHS and helping save lives.

If the new slogan turns out to be accurate (still 7 hours for it to be revamped) then it deserves all the stick it gets. Sake! Why are hmgov so rubbish?

The government is under pressure from the economists and money men, but don’t want to take any blame so put out mixed messages so nobody can point a finger. Unless someone is about to be thrown under the bus.

I've only just realised that 80 years ago today his hero Winston Churchill became Prime Minister. It all makes sense now.

To paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen's retort to Dan Quayle: Prime Minister, you're no Winston Churchill.

What about them agreeing ...to pick on NS again ...she’d find it hard to agree to anything from Westminster...and yet at the start I felt she was the most statesman like of all...now i get the impression it’s more about getting one over the English...she has to be the first to make an announcement every time

Like a joke, if you have to explain a slogan... it's really not very good.

Who’s agreed to it?

As far as I can see, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland are not changing their message.

And this new message to be released this evening in a pre-recorded announcement, so no questioning to Johnson.

And no doubt Johnson will get someone else to make the statement to the House tomorrow to again avoid any difficult questions on the meaning and mixed messaging.


Anyway in true spy mode I have just swept my house trying to detect any bugs, but came up empty.

It’s not the best, but it’s a really, really tricky one.

Operation SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYONE was a success, to put it mildly. The next message has to be nuanced. How do you give people hope, and start to gradually turn from “stay at home” to “go back to work, but safely”?

Also, the address hasn’t even happened yet, give him a chance!

In all seriousness, can anyone think of a better 2/3 word slogan? I’m not saying it’s brilliant, but I’d be impressed if anyone comes up with something much better.

 

[Soton Seagull]

Remember people, without slogans we'd all be dead. Thank heavens for Dominic Cummings!

The dog whistle is in the green for go (as [MENTION=14365]Thunder Bolt[/MENTION] astutely noted).

We are preparing for sunny uplands.

Boris and Cummings have been Zooming to cook up a sop for the people. Maybe it will be the restart of football (the game for the plebs)? How much money do they need to throw at football to make it safe? That's probably just one of the wheezes being feasibility and cost tested by these conniving twisters right now. Football will deliver far better than a relaxation on social distancing. Can't very easily reopen the pubs. Maybe they will create some pop-up outdoor pubs? Trust me, they will be thinking outside their box on all these wheezes. Mood management.

I hate to say it but this is just like the promise made about Brexit but considerably more tentative and vague at the moment. Not yet time for full speed ahead, but a transition of trusting. Trust is a must. Trust yourselves by trusting us. Trust Liz Truss. Trust the trust in the trust trust bus. We'll truss you up and throw you all away. Hang on, that last but can't be right, can it?

Yes, I'm eyeing my dry powder now.

All I need to do now is look on the CV good news thread and read Moldy Brains, toasting HMG, and our new Churchill, and I'll start thinking about where I left my big fat Boris gun.

We don't need another slogan.

I'm increasingly reminded of Rimmer's solution to the polymorph:

Let's get tough.....let's hit it with a major leafletting campaign.

I didn’t say they had ..but I would say they all have their own agendas..nothing new there

Are we allowed to follow it up with a lengthy explanation?
