it’s a fucking slogan. What do you want an act of parliament ?

at least give him a chance to explain it he speaks at 7, or was it on earlier in Scotland?

Doesn’t really matter we’ve been told whats happening in Scotland, and I‘ve yet to speak or hear from a single person today that isn’t supporting Sturgeons stance, and I live in one of the few Tory supporting parts of Scotland where many I know have little time for the SNP.

If it's meaningless how did you manage to interpret it's meaning and chose a different slogan to imply the same thing?

You just don't like it.

Sigh,they have clarified this morning that stay alert means stay at home,how is that the same? and why are they needing to change that bit if it means the same,the first slogan was very clear,this is being to smart for their own good

Hence the description of what staying alert means. of course if you are so fucking stupid that you need that pointing out then you probably should just stay and home and concentrate on protecting the NHS by not playing with sharp objects.

In much the same fashion that jokes become less funny when you have to explain them, the message was obviously less clear and hence the explanation which followed. Instead of basing the clarity of the message on your own interpretation it should be based upon the clarity to the most vulnerable sectors of society who might have difficulty in understanding it. Stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives was crystal clear. I realise we've moved on from that stage and perhaps a new message was required but it should still serve the exact same function in terms of clarity.

Thanks GD, time I suppose to get a separate message to the carehome residents because as we both know their home is now a disaster zone and definitely not the place for them from a CV point of view.

I agree with you, i don't understand why so many on here are trying to excuse it or say 'its only a slogan'

Sure alot of people will understand it, but there are very thick or just naive people out there too. 'Stay alert' could be read as 'ok, well as long as i stay alert i can go outside as much as i like'.

And to those who say 'lets wait until tonight to see what he says and explain it', alot of people wont watch tonight, and will only see or hear the slogan so it should be as clear as possible... which it wont be for a large section on people.
