Yes it’s too much, over the top, virtue signalling nonsense.

Yes 100% but last thread I said that I was told I am obviously a tory loving, NHS hating weirdo Confused

A nationwide clap to show our collective appreciation to the NHS and its workers - great 👏👏👏

Clapping for kids, Boris etc is bloody ridiculous. Very soon we’ll be clapping for those who flout the rules because they are too big and hard to contract Covid 19 🙄

I agree. Once was nice and meaningful... now it’s quickly become faddy and just another stick for the self righteous holier than thous to beat people with if they dare to forget or choose not to...

I've only just heard about clapping for Boris. Absolutely fucking ridiculous. I can't believe that hasn't been created as a spoof.

YANBU, it’s utterly ridiculous.

I think clap if you want to, don't if you don't... But I also think don't police people that don't clap, as if it makes you a better person... I don't clap but feel secure in my voting track record and am Very grateful to the NHS.

I know nothing of this as I decided to back away from Facebook. It’s been quite pleasant. I can recommend.

View from afar - its a lot of clapping... I mean I get the gesture but I just cringe at all those poor shift workers trying to sleep through it all...

Do what now? Where did clap for Boris come from?

And 7pm doorstep dancing while blasting out S Club 7 in my neighbourhood.

I quite like the meme about clapping for delivery drivers - any time between 9am to 6 pmGrin

(They're doing a great job round here, we call out sincere thanks to them when they're off our driveway)

My hands are already raw from washing the top so often, I have nothing left to clap with 😅

Although it’s a nice gesture I think there’s way too many people out there who are ultimately just clapping themselves for clapping more than anything else Hmm

I’ve lost track of who I’m supposed to clap for and when. I reckon if I stand outside and clap every night at 8, I’ll cover it all!

YANBU. It’s bordering on the ridiculous now.

I haven’t clapped at all. I think the first time for the NHS fair enough, but every week? No. Please stop.
