What an unpleasant post. Some things are better left unsaid. I won't be clapping him either, (us old boys don't go in for public displays of emotion) and as a lifetime agnostic I don't say prayers. But we need a leader and he's exactly that. So in the end there's only hope for his recovery...

Some things are better left unsaid :shrug:

Either you don't understand what I'm saying or (more likely) you're pretending not to so that you don't have to accept an uncomfortable truth.

Give it a rest. READ ALL THE POSTS. Everyone else understands so struggling to understand why you don't. One last try.

If you see, for example, Corbyn say on tv that he wishes Johnson a speedy recovery then you don't need him to say that he doesn't agree with Johnson's politics. On an anonymous forum, you don't necessarily have a clue of the politics of a particular poster.

What the **** makes it even remotely an 'uncomfortable truth'? Bizarre!

EDIT: Having typed all that I see you have seen JimHigham's post so hopefully this distraction can be put to bed.

What impact do you think not clapping for the NHS would have?

It could mean that a nurse, a doctor, a porter, a carer, an ambulance driver (insert many other important NHS jobs here) doesn't get the lift that they need to carry on with the vital but mentally and physically challenging task of saving lives.

My wife didn't get to hear the first display of clapping but she did get home in time last week and was quite moved by it. Their having a shit time of it at the moment with still not enough PPE and having to treat their own colleagues on the ward!!

I imagine it gave her a little bit of strength, knowing that people are appreciative of her bravery and commitment and trying to do their bit by isolating at home. I bet you're very proud of her. Stay safe both of you.

Reverse the question. Clapping the NHS workers means the appreciation can be heard by those workers. There’s a nurse, a paramedic and an IT NHS worker in my road.
Clapping Boris on the south coast isn’t going to carry all the way to London.

It's the thought that counts though , I bet you look forward to Valentines day :D

Is anyone else finding the media's fascination with who is leading, who is making decisions, can Rabb sack people, can Raab launch the nukes etc. all a bit nauseating?

The most curious thing..
I've stopped watching or listening to the news as it is just a single dreary surge these day, so I have no idea what is going on. And don't care either.

Not really. Quite important to know who is in command and how decisions are made. Raab said tonight that, as before, decisions are made collectively by the cabinet but then contradicted that by saying they were following Johnson's instructions!

I think it's important too, it just seems to me like drama is being looked for and it's being turned into a soap opera or something. Maybe just me though.

Don't stop watching or listening. Make a time when you'll watch or listen to the news for fifteen minutes or an hour or whatever. There's no need to be bombarded for 24 hours a day, FFS, that's boring! Do what you like to do in the meantime but it's important to have a bit of a handle on what's going on, don't you think?

Unashamedly lifted from the Telegraph today. The chain of command is as follows.

Designated Survivor

Should the Prime Minister choose to stick to tradition, the chain of command would be as follows:

Boris Johnson, Prime Minister
Dominic Raab, Foreign Secretary and First Secretary of State
Rishi Sunak, Chancellor of the Exchequer
Priti Patel, Home Secretary
Michael Gove, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster
Robert Buckland, Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary
Ben Wallace, Defence Secretary
Matt Hancock, Health Secretary
Alok Sharma, Business Secretary
Liz Truss, International Trade Secretary
Therese Coffey, Work and Pensions Secretary
Gavin Williamson, Education Secretary
George Eustice, Environment Secretary
Robert Jenrick, Communities Secretary
Grant Shapps, Transport
Brandon Lewis, Northern Ireland Secretary
Alister Jack, Scotland Secretary
Simon Hart, Wales Secretary
*Baroness Evans, Leader of the House of Lords
Oliver Dowden, Culture Secretary
Anne-Marie Trevelyan, International Development Secretary
Amanda Milling, Minister without Portfolio (Conservative Party Chairman)
*(Likely to be relegated as she cannot address the House of Commons)

Blimey, are we expecting a domino effect?
