The government has failed the people of this country. I'd add that all those who voted Tory have failed their fellow citizens too. Do they regret it now - or even understand what they voted for?
I'm just a bit anti-thanking. My friend risks her life every day working for the NHS. Her thoughts on the clapping?
Yes, it's lovely that people are showing their appreciation. Recognition is good. The problem is there's glaring gross hypocrisy too.
Some people have voted (for decades) to pay less tax and run down the NHS public services and all our care and support systems. It's been a case of 'I'm all right Jack' and no concern for the unfortunate, sick and needy.
Suddenly, now, there's the real prospect that they may be sick and needy themselves. So, with panic and trepidation, they clap enthusiastically, like loons and suddenly 'We're all in it together'!
What we want, she says, are decent, safe working conditions, enough funding, more staff - long term. I fear, what we'll get (when the crisis is over) will be just a return to more of the same. Publicly, they support us - privately, they vote against us.
