‘Tis the season to keep calm and carry on
One of Britain’s most famous exports is T-shirts that proudly say ‘Keep calm and carry on’. The saying was first coined during WWII but what the British do not tell you is that the slogan was never used during the war. If events at Gatwick are any guide, the reason for that is that the message is a lie. What we saw in Gatwick was the exact opposite of that slogan. It was huge panic and a total freeze in operations. Keeping calm and carrying on would have been much smarter.
