“Don’t keep calm. Destroy this corrupt government”

“Keep Calm and Carry On” is a famous British World War II poster. “Don’t keep calm. Destroy this corrupt/corrupted government” is a variation of the saying that has been printed on many images.
   
“Don’t Keep Calm - Destroy This Corrupt Government” (also shown on an image) was posted on Twitter by @YasirTineh on October 5, 2012.
   
“Don’t Keep Calm. Destroy this Corrupted Government” (shown on an image) was posted on The Keep Calm-O-Matic in June 2013.
   
     
Wikipedia: Keep Calm and Carry On
Keep Calm and Carry On was a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 in preparation for the Second World War. The poster was intended to raise the morale of the British public, threatened with widely predicted mass air attacks on major cities. Although 2.45 million copies were printed, and although the Blitz did in fact take place, the poster was hardly ever publicly displayed and was little known until a copy was rediscovered in 2000 at Barter Books, a bookshop in Alnwick. It has since been re-issued by a number of private companies, and has been used as the decorative theme for a range of products.
