"I whole heartedly agree with you. I won’t be going out and clapping.......I don’t trust my mouth to keep shut when the old fella and his mrs across the road claps in my direction when during the whole lockdown he’s had numerous visitors to his house. It’s and he is a hypocrite. " Same in our road with a few of our neighbours....... | |||

"As an NHS worker I find it embarrassing to be singled out. Why isn't it for all of they key workers in supermarkets, food supply, delivery drivers etc...too? " Hey you shouldn't feel embarrassed, yes all key workers should be thanked for what they do, the NHS staff are the real hardcore workers who have to care for the real ill patients with Covid that really places their life on the line more than any other key workers that deliver or work in supermarkets and food supply. So you and all NHS workers and all the 999 workers should hold your heads up high and be proud of the work and risks that you all take for us!! | |||

"How about a wealth tax on the top 100 richest people in the country, say 20% of their wealth and share it out amongst key workers." 1% was suggested but the gmnt said they pay enough as it is. | |||

Do nurses and other public sector workers not work hard? Even 1% was rejected out of hand. | |||

"Yes I get your point! NHS workers are under extreme stress now so say a prayer for them! We made our point last year with the 'clap'... The fact is it's people who are causing the spread of the virus. These are selfish individuals and obviously choose to ignore the daily warnings and distressing stories. The worst are the mindless morons (I'm sure none are members on here!) who crowded outside a London hospital recently with placards claiming Covid-19 is a hoax! They could have been delaying ambulances and medical staff. We are too soft! In some countries (tho not the USA I would guess!) Riot police would've been deployed to disperse these idiots!" Our local hospital was ‘broken’ into last weekend and areas filmed by covidiots to try and prove covid is a hoax. All it did was scare patients and staff shocking behaviour. | |||

"It needs something that shows the displeasure and anger that folk feel towards this Government and their handling. Something like sit in your car and turn the headlights on or a light in your house window. " Don't encourage them. We get more than enough idiots parked with headlights on facing into traffic already. With street lighting downgraded to 'Twinkle, twinkle, little star levels they are an inconsiderate and illegal menace. A light in the window, fine. It discourages burglars who also might sneak in while people are out clapping with the door left open! | |||

Because why should they work hard pay taxes and then just hand over 20% of there wealth " James Dyson is worth an estimated £10 billion. Aside from the fact that he wishes to remain British, pays minimal tax and has everything made abroad .... What on Earth is he going to do with £10 billion, thats his personal net worth, not what’s being reinvested in the company. 20% of £10 billion is £2billion, am sure he could struggle by on £8 billion and just think what good could be done with that £2 billion for the NHS and other key public bodies. It was reported today that the bosses of the top 100 ftse companies recieve the average median wage of full time workers (£31,461 a year) within 34 hours work. Chief executive pay is about 120 times that of the typical UK worker, up significantly from two decades ago. Estimates suggest it was around 50 times at the turn of the millennium or 20 times in the early 1980s. Your fine with that then that those at the top get more while those below get less? | |||

Why not take 2% of the Windsor family money and give it back to the people. Pay freeze for mps for 5 years and avtually make companies like Google, Amazon, Starbucks etc pay a higher amount of tax. lastly legalise and tax cannabis, surely we are over the BS that it is a terrible drug by now. | |||

Exactly, you can't buy anything with empty claps.
Raise their salaries across the board, not by the pittance 2% of last year but 20% fir each of these front liners. | |||

"As an NHS worker I find it embarrassing to be singled out. Why isn't it for all of they key workers in supermarkets, food supply, delivery drivers etc...too? " It is this time. It's "Clap for Heroes" and is supposed to be for the NHS, delivery drivers, teachers, supermarket workers, home schooling parents, anyone you think deserves it. It's supposed to be a way of bringing back some feeling of community, pride and a little bit of cheer during this shitty time. Personally I see nothing wrong with that. | |||

"Shouldnt you honor the heroes daily instead of when told to by your government?" It had nothing to do with the government though. Honor them whenever you like, but the Yoga teacher who started it thought it would be a nice gesture. She even called for the last one to stop when it became too political. I think she does want people to actually show their gratitude, as most don't usually do anything to show it. | |||

Do as you are told STAY HOME STOP MEETING STOP THE SPREAD. That is the greatest honour you can do. I totally agree with the original poster, wake up, smell the coffee!! "Can't we do both? Personally I liked it as it helped show the support the NHS has from the public. Does clapping NHS staff get them better pay or treatment? No, but it also doesn't make it worse if we do clap. What it does do though, is reminds the government that 'we' do care about the NHS. I feel that is important as 'they' obviously don't care and would have happily got rid of it by now if it wasn't for public support. So, show you support, but 'also' demand better treatment for the NHS and respect them by following the guidelines and keep people safe. | |||

Chief executive pay is about 120 times that of the typical UK worker, up significantly from two decades ago. Estimates suggest it was around 50 times at the turn of the millennium or 20 times in the early 1980s. Your fine with that then that those at the top get more while those below get less? You would be amazed how many people have no issue with that at all. And then off course factor in how many of those people went to the top schools and universities. Wise up. This is utter nonsense. Talking about seizing someone else’s wealth simply because they happen to have it is ridiculous. We’re all responsible for earning our own crust and looking after ourselves financially. Stop looking to others to do that for us. Mmm. Shouldn't your user name be Telegraph Columnist?" Why’s that? | |||

Its requesting that people who earn hundreds of times more than people who actually keep society going, contribute a tiny bit more. Its what happens in fair societies. | |||

"Just read this on a news item. Are they serious? What are your views. I feel its an absolute insult to those hard working risk taking members of the NHS If we want to honour our Heroes of the NHS. Do as you are told STAY HOME STOP MEETING STOP THE SPREAD. That is the greatest honour you can do. I totally agree with the original poster, wake up, smell the coffee!!
Can't we do both?
Personally I liked it as it helped show the support the NHS has from the public.
Does clapping NHS staff get them better pay or treatment? No, but it also doesn't make it worse if we do clap.
What it does do though, is reminds the government that 'we' do care about the NHS. I feel that is important as 'they' obviously don't care and would have happily got rid of it by now if it wasn't for public support.
So, show you support, but 'also' demand better treatment for the NHS and respect them by following the guidelines and keep people safe. "No it doesn't they just jump on the bandwagon and make empty platitudes about how important a job people do. Actions speak louder than words. | |||

"How about a wealth tax on the top 100 richest people in the country, say 20% of their wealth and share it out amongst key workers. it's sad that people think like this. Why? Because why should they work hard pay taxes and then just hand over 20% of there wealth James Dyson is worth an estimated £10 billion. Aside from the fact that he wishes to remain British, pays minimal tax and has everything made abroad .... What on Earth is he going to do with £10 billion, thats his personal net worth, not what’s being reinvested in the company. 20% of £10 billion is £2billion, am sure he could struggle by on £8 billion and just think what good could be done with that £2 billion for the NHS and other key public bodies. It was reported today that the bosses of the top 100 ftse companies recieve the average median wage of full time workers (£31,461 a year) within 34 hours work. Chief executive pay is about 120 times that of the typical UK worker, up significantly from two decades ago. Estimates suggest it was around 50 times at the turn of the millennium or 20 times in the early 1980s. Your fine with that then that those at the top get more while those below get less?

Let’s see teachers, nurses, carers hell all the people that society has realised people can’t do without are most of the lowest possible people in this country. So you’re suggesting that all of these people just ‘get a well paid job’ what would actually happen if this miraculous event happened? No one needs that much money to live on why would you even think it was a responsible way to live? Counting your millions while people starve on the streets? | |||

"How about a wealth tax on the top 100 richest people in the country, say 20% of their wealth and share it out amongst key workers. it's sad that people think like this. Why? Because why should they work hard pay taxes and then just hand over 20% of there wealth James Dyson is worth an estimated £10 billion. Aside from the fact that he wishes to remain British, pays minimal tax and has everything made abroad .... What on Earth is he going to do with £10 billion, thats his personal net worth, not what’s being reinvested in the company. 20% of £10 billion is £2billion, am sure he could struggle by on £8 billion and just think what good could be done with that £2 billion for the NHS and other key public bodies.

"Hmmmmm? "Clap For Our Carers returns tonight at 8pm as Clap For Heroes - but organiser quits after threats"" 
That's just sad.
She just wanted people to show some support.
The reasons I see for not clapping and getting annoyed at her are completely unrelated and quite frankly ridiculous.
I get that people want more money for the NHS, but that is unrelated to the clap and she can't do anything about the pay. Clap 'and' fight for better pay for the NHS.
I also get that people are annoyed that others are clapping whilst breaking the restrictions, but again that's not hey or the claps fault. Clap 'and' be cross with those people.
If you don't want to clap for whatever reason, that's fine, but stop blaming it for issues caused by other people. | |||

The gmnt clearly jumped on the bandwagon in the summer with Hancock and his NHS badge. Obviously forgetting they had sanctioned a 6 year pay freeze. I get people can see them as 2 separate issues but as 99%of people have said..a pay rise is more important than a clap. | |||

"How about a wealth tax on the top 100 richest people in the country, say 20% of their wealth and share it out amongst key workers." I know it is a popular sentiment and the wealthy should be made to pay more tax. However to fund a payrise to the NHS and other emergency services it would require a lot more money that making the top tax earners pay more. Unfortunately to pay for these big bills you have to tax all of us more. If we want a more robust NHS, Social services and benefit system we are all going have to put our hands in our pockets. We as a nation always say this but when it comes to the polling booth it becomes a different matter. | |||
