Aah, you were out, that's all that matters "Thanks me and the wife are key workers so we have been working since day 1 of the lockdown. At the start of April you had all the normally busy roads almost to yourself, it was like a zombie film minus the zombies. Fast forward to this week and it truly feels almost like normal. Even down to needing to leave work at the right time to try and avoid rush hour traffic. It's like Middlesbrough at least has decide fuck it with the lockdown let's crack on. It doesn't help that our twat of a Major overruled the Health Minister MP declaring parks had to be open the other week and instead has ensured they are all chained up and entrances policed. Sad really people in the town without gardens need the parks to exercise properly and get some nature time. Thankfully the cemetery with a focus on nature reserves within is just a 5 minute walk away. Are there any other Tessside fabbers about and if so what's your view? KJ x | |||

KJ x"Well it's definitely busier everywhere. It's disgraceful, locking parks. Many people are struggling, being shut away, some with no contact with anyone. Everyone needs to be able to safely have a walk and a chat, at a safe distance, with others. Keep up the good work | |||

"Exactly what does clapping achieve? Increase in salary? Decrease in hours? Safer working environment? So easy for the sheeple to follow and not question why be part of nothing but a bunch of clappers. It won't make the NHS rich now will it.. Nik" I agree, very early on the Thursday clapping was hijacked by members of the government aligning themselves to a good cause and the general public, celebrating the great work the NHS does and we've been fooled, their high profile displays of self congratulation distracts us from the facts: Health & care workers are still being exposed to high levels of risk. The promised essential PPE is dripping into the system slower than a rusty tap. The vast majority of the current cabinet who stand on their doorsteps clapping solemnly, voted against improved pay for NHS workers. In my opinion Thursdays appreciation should show gratitude for the NHS, but also be a silent protest against the conditions NHS and care workers are enduring, we and the government are not in this together. | |||

Of course you're perfectly entitled to, nobody's suggesting otherwise!
Ps I've worked in a clinical environment in the NHS for nearly 30 years and most of my colleagues with long service share a similar view. " | |||

"What is it with this continuous clapping? It gives the impression the UK is doing a wonderful job when it is not Death toll is soaring,Boris has failed and is failing,UK is coming out of lockdown too quick death toll will soar even higher UK citizens should be on streets demanding Boris go for his failures Yet all you do is clap you know most of our complaints against our government.. if you read the news other countries are complaining about similar. Lack of ppe. Not protecting care homes. Deaths not being reported ... And yea I will be clapping later They like our government go by what the experts say, as they are only politians that know no more than anyone else. Next time you vote for someone make sure they have a degree in hindsight. Your government didn't do what the experts told them too Boris refused to go into lockdown,Cheltenham went ahead,concerts, marathons,football matches,Boris shaking hands All against UK expert advice at the time This is why you have worst death toll in world But keep clapping Do t ask any questions or look at the facts Just keep clapping Worst in the world ?"

"I will start by saying that the NHS and care staff deserve all the claps they are getting and more, having said that it does seem like it's used as a distraction by the news and politicians, all well and good clapping (and like I said I think they deserve it) but proper ppe and an half decent pay rise would be an even better reward I think " Well said!!!! | |||

""I'm an NHS doctor – and I've had enough of people clapping for me". "I know many of my colleagues appreciate the clapping, saying that they feel moved and grateful... There are others, like me, whose response is that it is a sentimental distraction from the issues facing us..." "...People need to show their value of key-working staff in practical ways; pay them enough to be able to live in our cities, and recognise, support and welcome immigrant staff who prop this country up". https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/may/21/nhs-doctor-enough-people-clapping " Thank you to all the Key workers, we agree with the Doctor and this post. Reward these people properly, not just by Clapping. It is hypocritical for any Tory MP to clap when they voted against pay rises and voted for visa fees for NHS workers | |||

"Clapping is for NHS and carers nothing to do with politics " It was for the carers but has been hijacked by the politicians as a means of infantilising the population - not that it’s needed in many cases. | |||

"Clapping is for NHS and carers nothing to do with politics " But it's achievef nothing in terms of improving conditions for health/care workers and 'enables' the government ministers to align themselves with a grateful public as though they're not part of the problem. Ironically the hand clapping is actually disadvantaging health workers because it gives the ministers a platform to claim to be part of us, impotent to the solution..but they'll stand on their doorsteps every Thursday clapping enthusiastically, giving the workers a jolly good pat on the back instead! | |||

"No i dont clap i know the nhs does a great job but so do the shop workers on a lot less pay. Why always the nurses doctors when after all the pay isnt bad. I do know my daughter is a nurse I tend to clap for everyone, who are working so hard and sometimes not safely, for us all. Yes especially retail staff, I have the greatest respect for them all
Same here, we have a few frontline workers on my street, myself and my neighbour included (shes a nhs nurse, I am not), trace over the road works in a shop, the dr surgery receptionist a few doors down, a lot of fishermen, care home workers and a few of my colleagues, and we all clap for everyone really as we all (well maybe not the fishermen as much) work face to face with the public 1 way or another

"I did say last week it should be finished before it starts to fade out I think the NHS have got the message and it's over. There's no reason people can't display their gratitude to the NHS individually of course. Many of the kids have made window decorations, and probably a lot of adults. One last clap for us anyway." Yes I think tonight will be my last clap, we still appreciate and thank these people everyday | |||

"Britain. Clapped out....sums the whole thing up rather succinctly...lol Not for those that have family members working in the nhs..." Our only daughter is an NHS doctor. It was her observation in the first place. She has to travel to different surgeries in her work and is constantly vilified by people who think she's breaking lockdown rules. The clapping wore very thin some time ago for her. | |||
