The UK government is expected to unveil a new slogan in its effort to keep the public safe against coronavirus and prevent the spread of the pandemic. The previous message of 'stay at home, save

However, before the new slogan has even been officially unveiled it has come under widespread scrutiny as many feel that it is irresponsible to change the message at this stage and that the new one doesn't make much sense.

Be alert your country needs Lerts

Even though it made clear sense? yes he is a bumbling idiot but it really was easy to understand

Omg in just two week's.☠☠☠

Made perfect sense to me wasn’t hard to understand

I remember that line... Be alert your country needs LERTS

It makes sense, it’s just disingenuous bullshit BorisEmbracing2ndWave

I'm no genius but wouldn't you assume that with the government due to lessen lockdown restrictions the 'stay alert' tag line means the threat of the virus is still out there and people should still take caution when going about their daily business.

Which means StayOutSaveJobs

It is a sad reflection on British society that we need to be told directly to STAY AT HOME. You'd have thought Stay Alert would be reasonable enough. Surely we all know by now to continue social distancing? Not like there are many things to go out for anyway

7pm for fucks sake..we’re almost there!

Wouldn’t it be funny if that wasn’t the new slogan. Can’t wait until 7pm

What pratt he his

That’s like a “Wanted” poster for a crime 🧐

People screaming for the government to tell them what they are and are not allowed to do.

Although it does make sense. Unless you have the brain of a 5 year old

The instruction is simple and the first steps to ease lockdown. Those up are mocking it are quite happy with the countries economy on its knees , guess where the NHS police get money from .

Stay alert ? It’s not an incendiary device or a mugger .. it’s a virus 🦠

Stay in, stay out, stay in and out.

Back door herd immunisation 😒

Yeah by thick lefty twats 🙄

Makes sense to me. But then I’m not left wing, anti brexit with a politcal axe to grind so maybe that’s why it makes sense......

It wouldn't matter what slogan it went for anyway people would still take the piss , it doesn't matter what the government do either as people will criticise. People suffering really bad mentality being stuck inside and really need some loosening of the restrictions 🤷‍♂️

It’s getting the nation talking though 🤔 Mindfulness is often most important when dealing with adversity so if a shit weird slogan makes joe public do a terminator impression in Tesco’s reciting ‘Stay Alert’, you’ll know exactly what they mean.

Just like the clown BorisJohnson 10DowningStreet then. Just as people are now ignoring the LD rules, instead of clapping down Boris basically lets people do what they want now. Absolutely useless PM StayHomeSaveLives

It would be great if Fuckotheclown had stayed alert, attended briefings and shut the country down weeks earlier.

BorisJohnson

Useless!

You can't leave folk to make decisions on this!? It'll be a clusterfuck!

Stay alert? Everytime I go shopping people are almost kissing me as they reach over my shoulder because they can't wait their turn! You can be as alert as you want but some people will just not abide by rules especially when they know they can get away with it!!

Some people are thick as shit aren’t they

Stay alert sounds like Covid-19 is something we can see We can't stay alert for COVID19 when it's an invisible threat, we can't see it, we can't cross over to avoid it in the street, it can live on surfaces for days & symptoms can take up to 7days to appear.

How much was spent on this CRAP?

Scotland is 50 miles from my home and Boris is 300 miles away - no brainer for which leaders advice I'll be following StayHomeSaveLives StayHome StayAtHome

Stay alert, what does this mean, you ask everyone from 2 metres away if they have had the ChinaVirus , i do believe that you cannot see this virus unless you are superman

Why use green?

That’s because we have become a nation of people who know better and can’t wait to criticise everything anyone does.

GNev2 let’s make it simple for you to undeserved. Stay Alert - don’t let the winger get past you. Control the virus - do your job against the threat of the opposition. Save lives - protect your goal & don’t concede. You understood instructions like that as a player.

It means being aware of your surroundings and minimising the risk of transmission.

Things have got that bad we now have to pretend we don’t know what stay alert means

From a bunch of planks who gave it to each other comes the slogan stay alert irony at its best

Sorry, but I really get the lack of understanding here. To 'stay alert' means one should just continue to be aware of potentially dangerous situations that may spread COVID (large groups, close contact etc). Is the average Brit really finding it that hard to understand this?

So how do you control an invisible virus when some hosts don't even show visible symptoms, how do you control something you cant see, you've been trying to control the weather for years with no luck now control a virus - stupidity

Bloody idiot

sometimes when you can't think of a new and better one, just copy the oldies

I understand that advice, to all the thick lefties if you don't go hug each other.

Is it 'Hail corona disproportionate killer of the poor and vulnerable' by any chance?

What does stay alert actually mean This government wasn't alert when this started, they are culpable of mass murder

This country is a joke. We’re the laughing stock of Europe.

Doesn't look very alert to me...…..

Lunacy.

That's because it doesn't
