    Not very British is it, what what
    Profiteering on the very slogans that inspired our grandparents to combat the threat of invasion
    Back in the day summary justice would have been meted out
    Which would have involved a wall and a stern faced squad of men aiming .303 lee enfield rifles

    Please search out 'keep calm campaign' to add your voice to our e-petition. We are making a stand against this and need your help, thanks.

  • They have just jumped on a bandwagon and trying to make money. By registering the Ltd Company name, they have then joined eBay's VERO register and try to act as if they are important. They do not own the trademark, just the Ltd company name. I had the same sort of thing with the Dan Dare Corporation. They think they own anything with Dan Dare on it, which they dont. It's quite laughable really.
  • I've just found the campaign but couldn't post the link so please search for it and sign the petition. There are still thousands of items on ebay listed so I don't know why he is just picking on a few people.

    Hi, I cannot post the link either. Search for keepcalmcampaign (all one word) The site only went up a couple of days ago but it's gatherin momentum now. If you search for that term it should be on the first page of results.

  • The infamous Mark Coop is on BBC Breakfast being challenged by the wonderful Keep Calm Campaign tomorrow (22/9) at 6.20am, 7.20am and 8.20am. Please watch and remember to spread the word!
  • There's an article about this today on the Daily Mail website. I can't post links, but if anyone is interested the article is titled 'Keep calm but don't carry on: Wartime cry that adorns T-shirts is subject of copyright row'.
