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...

More FB crap, clapping wont help him. At this rate people will be clapping for something or other every night

No thank you, just because he’s sick now doesn’t mean he wasn’t an awful person before.

I won’t be clapping, as he isn’t a fucking pixie but I wouldn’t wish illness on anyone and I hope he recovers soon. I don’t like him or his politics but he’s a fellow human being.

It was 57% of voters that didn't vote Tory wasn't it?

No, I won't be clapping. I'm afraid I think his current situation is very much a situation of his chickens all flocking home to roost.

When he talked so blithely about how 'sadly' many more were going to get sick, some very much so, and yes, some would die - he wasn't thinking he might be one of them. That was so clear from his demeanour.

@Rhea1981

He is seriously ill at the moment so if you can't say anything nice then just don't say anything at all. It terrifies me that people can be so vile.

Did it terrify you when Johnson make a joke about the lack of ventilators in this country being called 'operation Last Gasp'? If our PM can be so callous, why can't the common people do the same. Oh wait, it's Boris and he was just being his usual funny, clownish self.

He's not a pixie as someone so eloquently said upthread. I wont clap for him, I think he's deliberately run down the NHS and made a mess of handling this.

I hope he survives and learns a few lessons which industries we really need in this country and about the importance of public servants.

Whatever you think of him, he won by a landslide so the majority of decent working people support him.

This is the most inaccurate thing on the whole thread.

Oh, and I wish him no ill, and hope he recovers. As I do any human being.

@GatoradeMeBitch
Absolutely unbelievable! Who made you the scientific, medical and political expert?
You do know it is not one man making deciosions I take it?
A man you have taken a personal dislike to ( do you know him)
who currently has a life threatening condition and a pregnant fiance.
You really are not a very nice person are you?

Yet the things he has done right in this were all things Corbyn suggested first!

You just couldn't help yourself could you?

'As I've said before, people like yourself are not the only ones with friends and family working for the NHS/frontline.'

What? You said previously 'was I not reading the stories from the front line' I merely pointed out I don't need to as I know plenty of people on the 'front line'. It is not all the apocalyptic scenes the tabloids would have you believe.

There has been some PPE distribution and testing problems obviously, why wouldn't there be in a global emergency? But the MSM gloss over the financial support and the planning based on medical advice that has been effective.

Anyway, I wont be clapping him, it's all getting a bit extreme we'll be clapping the kids next for doing their school work.

I do wish him well though.

I'm not clapping for him. I wish him better but that's as far as it goes.

People have got such short memories. The NHS is being overwhelmed with this virus. DS2 is a nurse in A&E. He first got the correct mask last Tuesday night. They're still sharing visors which have to be washed in bleach throughout the shift. They're literally on their knees.

DS1 isn't allowed home from barracks because he's on standby ready to go. That's fine, but the preparations they've had have been piss poor too.

The Govt have been atrocious in their handling of this imo and people have died of it as a direct result. I will not clap for the man who leads them.

Yet the things he has done right in this were all things Corbyn suggested first!
Good point

I think this thread should be removed. Please admin this man is seriously unwell and these people are going to be spewing their hatred. Its not right. I feel for any victim of this awful virus and would never speak ill of someone when they're so ill regardless of their political views.

Hope he gets better, but can’t see that he’s done anything clap-worthy.

10 years of underfunding meant that the NHS was in no position to face a crisis. It is fair to say that has had an impact.

"He's not a fucking pixie, clapping won't make him better"

@NoMorePoliticsPlease

You do know it is not one man making deciosions I take it?

One man joked about "Operation Last Gasp*

You really are not a very nice person are you?

Neither is the PM. Where's your disgust at him?

Whatever you think of him, he won by a landslide so the majority of decent working people support him.

What crap!

And yet so many former Labour seats went to him didn't they? So not really 'crap' then.

People do have short memories don't they @TheFairyCaravan?.They forget it was the Labour government who started the cuts ,when I worked for the NHS under Labour it wasn't managed any better,I also remembered pubic out dry over the armed forces being badly equipped during the gulf war etc

As for the decent working people who support him, let's wait and see what happens. We definitely have further austerity on the way, possibly a recession. We'll see if he prioritizes "decent working people" or his chums in the banks and stock market and private business. We'll see, but I think we already know.

Boris is being treated right now by decent working people. Decent working people he voted to deny a small pay increase to.

Public out cry FFS!!
