Would it be unreasonable of me not to 'clap for Boris' tonight?

[Otherrooms]

I've just seen this in my FB page.
A local group has shared it.
'Clap for Boris' (see pic) Tonight 8pm.
Human to human, I wish him well & a full recovery but I won't be clapping...

@VegetableMunge, I know this isn't the time for jokes but that did make me giggle. Goodness knows the man has a few spread around.....

Has our NHS been overwhelmed?

Now let's see. People with cancer having their surgery cancelled, people in care homes being left there to die instead of being taken into hospital, decisions having to be made about who does and does not get treatment. Yes, I'd say they are overwhelmed.

he won by a landslide so the majority of decent working people support him.

2019 election:
CONConservative................................43.6%
LABLabour...........................................32.2%
LDLiberal Democrat............................11.5%
SNPScottish National Party...............3.9%
GRNGreen...........................................2.7%
BRXThe Brexit Party...........................2.0%

More people voted for other parties than voted for Conservatives, not a majority.

UK vote share change since 2017:

Liberal Democrat............................+4.2
The Brexit Party..............................+2.0
Conservative..................................+1.2
Green..............................................+1.1
Scottish National Party..................+0.8
Labour.............................................-7.8

So the Conservatives only gained a little over 1% of the vote share since the previous election. It really wasn't a landslide. They only did so well out of it because Labour results were abysmal.

Just to give a little perspective.

Why do all the claps have to be at 8pm, when the kids have just got into bed??

I have my front room bedroom window open, where I am ensconced, to listen to the eight o'clock silence in my very normal neighborhood

If I clap tonight, it's just me swatting a moth (bloody things). I'm now paranoid someone will hear and think I'm a Johnson groupie.

Pleasingly silent in the village.

LimescaleCowboy no clapping here either thankfully. All very quiet.

IS THIS REAL

I live in a very middle class suburb of our city. There was no clapping at all. Total silence.

Nope. No clapping here. I have the windows open. Just birdsong.

Well that was fun. Absolutely no one on my street came out, bar one neighbour who 'conveniently' had a bit of rubbish to put in their bin at 8pm sharp. They had a good look around before going back in. Oh dear.

Delighted to report no twats live on our road either

Totally silent here.

Silent here as well. There's been loud clapping for NHS and key workers on previous weeks.

Was some clapping here, which I was happy to join in with. Small village in Wiltshire, Tory stronghold since God was a boy. I'm quite pleased.

Very middle class Tory heartland here. Deathly silence.

Oh dear that was embarrassing.

One slightly drunk household shouted 'Come on Boris' for about ten seconds in their garden and ran inside when no-one else joined in.

Total silence on our road, and it's quite a long one.

Heard nothing except what sounded like a fight in the distance. There was a significant turnout for ths NHS clapping though, so perhaps my neighbours aren't massive hypocrites.

Silence here too

No clapping here in my bit of Portsmouth on the south coast. Ridiculous notion.

Same here. Lovely to hear the birds sing goodnight.

And, in further entertainment news, at 8pm on the dot a crow flew over and cawed very loudly, which I take as a sign that this planet is bigger than we can ever imagine. Or something.
