Are you going to Clap for Carers tomorrow?

It’s back under a new name “clap for heroes.”

It will be cold and dark, definitely not

Lord no, have we not suffered enough? Anything but the clap.

Such patronising tripe.

No chance.

I'm an NHS worker seeing patients face to face until last week when I've moved to working from home due to pregnancy. To be honest I would much rather people just followed the rules and didn't shout at me me when I tell them they need a covid test due to their cough or lie about symptoms to get a face to face appointment. I won't be clapping this time and will be pretty annoyed at my neighbours who have been breaking rules with parties if they are all out clapping!

Of all the defeat I have felt over the last few days this has topped it

No, I'd rather do something of practical use. Not to mention all the carers I know do shift work and it's ruined their valued sleep more than once with the competitive loudness!

No

Fuck, no.

Instead I am going to use a megaphone (yes, really, I have one), and keep shouting "Boris is a TWAT" for the duration of any clapping.

sounds worse somehow

No. I appreciate what they do but I don't think 'clapping' them is a good way of thanking them.

Absolutely not. They need to read the room. We don't need novelty now. We just want to get through this.

FWIW I'll be AT work tomorrow at 8pm hiding in the loos

Pass me my earplugs please, I have over enthusiastic neighbours. It got deafening last time, they were setting off fireworks and all sorts.

Besides everyone then goes and stands around chatting, getting drunk, ends up as an impromptu party and I'd rather not get involved

Absolutely not, it's a lot of nonsense and every nhs frontline worker I know agrees.

No its virtue signalling

.

No, of course I won't.
However, the reply to that tweet which read "it's past its sell-buy date" made me chuckle. I'd do spirit fingers every night till June for the supermarkets to make that change.

Nope. It had its day and, I think, outstayed its welcome. It strikes me as poor judgement to try and revive the corpse of clap for carers.

Why the flying fuck would you? Who wants the less illuminated sector of the society to clap about like fucking elephant seals in heat?
Who would benefit from it?
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

No I’m not gonna clap for people doing a job they chose to do and are being paid to do.

@HOkieCOkie hear hear!

Horrible idea. How fucking calculating. Hate this shower of shits in government and don't tell me it's not them spinning at the centre of this.

They can go rub shit on their hands and clap BoZo's.

God no, it's so embarrassing and patronising. Have never participated and never would. Cringeworthy.

No.

No way
It’s shite
