Launch of Slogan - To a Greater Goal (#GreaterGoal)
From Deep Cove to Sydney one would pass by this dock used by the Harbour Master. If the cloud didn't win over the day you would end up with a most beautiful sunset off the ocean waters.
On 24th April 2013 cancer patient and online polemicist Mark McGowan - The Artist Taxi-Driver - pushed a toy pig along the pavement four miles from Kings College Hospital where he is currently receiving treatment to Downing Street to deliver a petition from his children to David Cameron, protesting against the closure of vital services in the NHS. The toy pig (accompanied by the slogan "Where's Daddy's Pig?") represented all the greedy corporate pigs with their snouts in the obscene, lucrative trough which is NHS privatisation.
Followed the entire route by a placard-waving entourage, musicians and live bloggers using the Twitter hashtag #wheresdaddyspig, McGowan wore knee pads and leather gloves to protect himself, right up to the gates of Downing Street where, after a delay he was allowed in to deliver his petition, accompanied by loud cheers and 'oinks' from several squeezy pigs.
The Artist Taxi Driver is to carry out part two of his mission on May 22nd, when he will push his toy pig from the gates of Downing Street to the Bank of England where he will attempt to deliver a letter to the chairman, Sir Mervyn King.

"I want the World to Stop" was declared on these cattle winter feed bales on the back roads of #EastDunbartonshire. It is really impossible as to what this means to the artist in this cryptic clue!
Bianca Jagger speaks at 'Save Justice' Legal Aid cuts protest - London 04.06.2013
Around 500 barristers, solicitors, court interpreters and legal charity workers protested at the Ministry of Justice against proposed "austerity"cuts to the Legal Aid budget which will, say the campaigners, put justice out of reach for the poor and vulnerable. Putting justice out of reach for the poor and the vulnerable will also make it impossible for ordinary citizens to take the government to court and hold it accountable.
Many solicitors, barristers and campaigners spoke during the protest, including veteran human rights campaigner Bianca Jagger, Andy Slaughter (MP), Geoffrey Robertson QC, Mike Fordham QC, Dr. Adeline Trudy (Immigrants in Detention), Habib Rahman (chief executive of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants), Pat Craig (Legal director Reprive), Tracy Lazzard (Inclusion London), David Lammy (MP), Elena Pinter (Children's Society),James Welch (Legal director for Liberty) and David Creighton (Association of Prison Lawyers)

Launch of Slogan - To a Greater Goal (#GreaterGoal)
“Set the People Free” was a popular slogan of the Conservative political party used during both the 1950 and 1951 British general elections. This electoral campaign slogan advocated for the idea of greater individual control, self-reliance and a movement away from ‘State control’ over people’s lives arising from Labour’s socialist policies. Very much a form of free-market policy that continues to dominate Conservative political thought to this day.
After the war in 1945, the Labour party under the leadership of Clement Attlee was swept to power with great public expectations that were followed through with major reforms in social welfare, housing, nationalisations, public healthcare provisions, etc. However, by the end of the 1940’s public disillusion had set in and coupled with Labour’s 1948 austerity budget, continued rationing, ID cards (abolished 1952), housing shortages had set the tone for labour’s decrease in electoral support for both general elections. In October 1951, only some 20 months after Labour’s marginal victory in the 1950 election, the Conservatives took power by an equally slim majority of parliamentary seats, despite polling fewer votes.
During both election campaigns, Winston Churchill played-up his successful wartime record symbolised by depicting his two-finger V-sign for victory on the badge. SET THE PEOPLE FREE slogan was also a battle-cry alluding to the class struggles of post-war Britain and much attested to in the Conservative’s campaigning against the Labour government’s socialist policies.

The slogan on this badge is a misspelled adaptation of a quotation by Ivan Chtcheglov, a member of the Situationist International, a radical French grouping of artists and theoreticians active between the late 1950s and early 1970s. The slogan comes from an essay entitled 'Formulary for a New Urbanism' which sets out some of the utopian ideas about the city with which the Situationists are most commonly associated, including the derive, or 'drift', a practice of disassociation in a familiar environment carried out through walking. Today, many of the Situationists' ideas about the urban environment have become popularized through the idea of 'psychogeography', an explicitly political and psychological approach to the built environment.

Mon autre vision d'un slogan de pub ;)

approximate translation : who sows flowers, harvest tenderness
Park Place: the name is a ripoff of a Monopoly board game property. ...But who cares?
The slogan, however, is such a blatant ripoff of Shanghai's 2010 World Expo slogan ("Better City, Better Life") that it's downright embarrassing.
"Better Place, Better Life." Yikes.
It seems Village must like this slogan despite SR not having used it since the early 80s at least-- another store they've constructed in Morris Plains has this by the checkout too. (SR's advertising in general is horribly outdated though-- half their TV commercials are in SD and use 1990s-era stock footage, while the PA system in my local SR inexplicably uses old jingles from the 90s they likely nabbed from YouTube.)
If you have to wait, let's say 5 minutes for a bus or a tram it often turns out it's 5 minutes in "dogyears". Multiply by 7, that is.
