Boris Johnson: Stayin' Alert
Description (Dublin Core)
The video entails a spoof of the song 'Stayin' Alive' by the Bee Gees, changed to 'Stayin' Alert' to poke fun at the government Coronavirus briefing on 10/05/2020 where PM Boris Johnson addressed the public about how lockdown would change. The government's COVID-19 slogan changed from 'Stay home, protect the NHS, save lives' became 'Stay alert, control the virus, save lives'. The general reaction from the public was a negative one at the advent of this new slogan, prompting many spoof videos and memes to be released. The briefing that the new slogan was announced in was also considered by the public to be generally confusing, contradictory, and unhelpful.
