"Stay alert" is the pandemic's "Take back control." Its meaninglessness is its very point. It permits each of us to act just as we desire. And allows Government later (i) to deny permitting that which turns out to be bad (ii) to assert it urged that which turns out to be good.
The effects will also be the same as the referendum's. Disastrous for the country; zero accountability for those who delivered those effects; and an electorate that believes government speaks to its innermost desires.
This is not politics as we once understood it. It is not about the delivery of any one understanding of the public good. Public policy is subordinated to the accumulation of power and the diffusion of responsibility.
I believe that the only response is a sustained, independent, and public focus on the the facts. With your support @GoodLawProject believes it can force one. But only with your support. crowdjustice.com/case/too-many-…
This - excellent - spot from @GeorgeWParker does illustrate the grim point of the slogan - it gives you permission to do whatever you want to do.
