Why Boris Johnson is dropping the central message of protecting the NHS

The effectiveness of the Government's initial instructions for people to "stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives" is crystallised in the new slogan drawn up for the second phase of the response to Covid-19, which is focused on controlling the virus while gradually easing some restrictions.

Thinking? That would be a novelty!

Is it because he doesnt care about the NHS and sees it as a socialist construct there for dismantling for the beneficence of the few and the suffering of the many?

It’s all a big con - political propaganda showing Toriesupport nhs when in reality they don’t won’t and never will!! All hot air !!!

Go to work Pay tax Save the economy

It’s insane

ONCE ALERT...ALWAYS ALERT

The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

It was nonsense in the first place. This is now proven by the fact that it's being dropped. Moving the goalposts, but the dim-witted majority will lap it up without question

How does one stay alert to something that is not visible? Which ignorant son of b*t*h came up with that slogan?

Step back from our immediate situation and imagine yourself as a historian 30 years from now, studying historic epidemics and reactions. What will you conclude about the governments of 2020?

This is audience testing for a PM lacking spine, principle or conviction. PM has no credibility for anyone who can do arithmetic.

What about ALL the lives of people who have other medical issues? I suppose only COVID lives matter?

AllisterHeath Because it’s too late to save it?

31,587 should have been more alert... Disgraceful

As 100000 UK residents will die due to govt negligence (once the final numbers are aggregated), its not surprising that the slogan is being dropped.

What does that even mean? 'Stay alert'...ffs.

Would love to read this, but you’ve gotten your coronavirus coverage behind a paywall. It’s as if you don’t want to help inform and educated the public at a time of global crisis, where thousands of lives are on the line. Who are you people? What fucking a disgrace!

'Control the Virus'...? You want US, the people, to 'control the virus ...? Even the NHS cannot control the virus...!!! Beginning to lose faith in you Boris...

christopherhope 'thinking'? 🤔

christopherhope Maybe because there are plenty of empty beds and the NHS needs to go back to treating cancer.

christopherhope Stay Alert or you may miss the fact that Britain has been secretly flying tens of thousands of coronavirus tests to America as it struggles to lift the daily testing rate over 100,000 a day. BorisResign

EamonnONeill 'Thinking'. Really?

It was a dystopian message in the first instance. The NHS should be saving lives, not the other way around.

The NHS should be protecting the people!!! That meme was a shocker.

Be Alert—The World Needs More Lerts.

On lockdown, Boris Johnson faces a new opponent: his own party | Katy BallsThe prime minister is cautious, but many Tory MPs want a dramatic exit strategy. His problems could start to rack up, says the Spectator’s deputy political editor Katy Balls 'Look, I don't think it ought to be blasphemy, just saying 'end lockdown'.' 'You're only making it worse for yourself!' 'Making it worse? How can it be worse? end lockdown, end lockdown, end lockdown.' 'I'm warning you. If you say 'end lockdown' once more...' None of them matter Only the electorate do Irony of ironies it's his own party that takes him down and then they drop the ball in running Parliament.

What frustrated travellers want to hear as Boris Johnson eases lockdown restrictionsThe government's current travel advice prevents mainstream tour operators running trips and invalidates the holidaymaker’s insurance This is the detachment between ambition and reality in this crisis. We'd all like to hear that everything is fine again. It's not and it won't be until there is a credible and widely-distributed vaccine. Want and get are different things though.
