This ubiquitous poster and indicator of substandard Caucasian interior decorating has a disturbing provenance. It was one of a series of three posters created by the British propaganda office during World War II, and the only one never displayed publicly.
“‘The others were ‘Freedom is in peril, defend it with all your might’ and ‘Your courage, your cheerfulness, your resolution will bring us victory.’ The government plastered Britain with those two posters. But it held back ‘Keep calm’ for even more upsetting circumstances.
“‘The plan was, it was to be displayed and it was to go up if Germany ever invaded [Britain].’”
It was actually a call for British citizens to submit peacefully to Nazi rule.

Ugh, don’t you people get it? Those passages don’t count! Only ‘Homosexuality is an abomination’ counts. Jeez!
