Keep Calm and Read On

We've seen it all everywhere and just about on anything. But do you know the real story behind this phrase? Read on as Thomas Wilder explains about this mighty and now-becoming-so-'pop' tag line. 
"It is a quiet, calm, authoritative, no-bullshit voice of reason… It's not about British stiff upper lip, really. The point is that people have been sold a lie since the 1970s. They were promised the earth and now they're worried about everything—their jobs, their homes, their bank, their money, their pension. This is saying, look, somebody out there knows what's going on, and it'll be all right."
--Dr. Lesley Prince
