Covid

What slogan would you have liked instead?

I have forgotten both the old & new ones already, but I pick up that Stay-Alert is part of the new slogan, although many folk find 'Stay Alert' too vague.

Suppose you were tasked with marketing a new slogan, that was about being allowed to go out (so you need to move away from simple Stay Home). Would you have said...

"Stay safe", "Stay Distant", "Watch out" or ... what?

I like "Stay Distant".

'Had enough of crap slogans'

I'd prefer some policy rather than crap slogans.

"Slogans are for Losers" I think might be yours.

I also wish there was no need for a slogan of any kind, we did use to exist quite well without slogans and soundbites. Politics is now just a dumbed down pile of shite.

Keep your distance...(along with the wash hands, cover coughs and sneezes, avoid touching your face...)

"Stop fucking complaining and stay at home"

"newspapers lie, follow guidance or die"

" stay home, shut up and get on with it"

"2 metre rule, keep your distance you fool"

We don't need a bloody crap slogan. We need clear guidance. Stay Alert?!! Does that mean I can visit my mum or not?!!

I don't doubt that some people would have liked it changed to "Stay the Fuck Home", but I am not one of them.

I'm not particularly into "clever" slogans and mottoes.

To be fair I suppose, by their standards, govt skill in producing meaningful slogans has improved a lot in a short time. We've got to remember that their main previous effort was 'Brexit means Brexit'.

The only other obvious measure would be for Boris now to encourage people to wear masks at least in shops or on public transport.
