NHS applause

I don't participate. I think it's patronising to those in the NHS and just an opportunity for politicians who've run down the NHS for a decade, messed up on PPE and the Coronavirus crisis, and who want the NHS privatised to be pictured hypocritically clapping like performing seals so they can use the photo/video in a future party political broadcast.

You do as you please I will clap each & every week until we are told no longer to clap
I look at it that the NHS, key workers appreciate people clapping each Thursday every week & long may it continue 👏
 
I agree with Kuepper, but saying that we have a very young niece that works in the HDU of James Cook, it's really tough working in hospitals, care and nursing homes at the moment, the least we can do is show our appreciation of the unbelievable work that these, mostly minimum wage employees deserve.

So I was out clapping and will be till our government actually understands that it's these workers that put the great in Britain, not the billionaires that fund their party.
 
IMHO it just gets the govt off the hook every week I'm afraid. I could understand it the first time as an emotional response but it was immediately predictably hijacked by Johnson and co and it's now done as a sense of duty, the repetition of a kind act loses impact and meaning after a while and get awkward. There's others who've taken and are taking daily risks - shop workers, bus drivers, carers

kuepper, without getting in a spat with you & don't mean to contradict what you say but I clap for the important people, with me clapping I know that those I'm clapping for appreciate it, I don't for think one minute it looks good for the government, they can dress it up how they please I don't care, loyd & proud clapping every Thursday
 
Don't know where you are kuepper but where I live is solid Labour, everyone in our street hates this government. We clap for all frontline workers, and the ones I know really appreciate it. There's no sense of duty here, just appreciation and thanks. And whether that bumblec**t Johnson hijacks it or not, we see through him.
