Whilst I'm sure my Wife (a Nurse) doesn't speak for all NHS staff, she has always found it incredibly patronising.
Yeah first time round my misses (health care professional) just sat on the sofa whilst I hung out the window!

It's done it's trot. Respectful and supportive in the warm, light summer evenings and served a good purpose all round for morale. But I'm afraid it won't take off this time around as frankly, it's too dark and cold. Whoever thought of rebooting needs their bumps felt.

This. Same as when the BBC try to revive classic comedies/game shows or the like.

It's always 100% bo**ox the second time around.

Hooray, both Brexit AND a GAP style edit on post #9!!

Bravo.

Cat seems to have your keyboard. Are you phoning a friend?

Still, it's definitely more embarrassing to edit a post on the internet to correct a typo than it is to promise an entire electorate, falsely, that you'd stick £350 million a week into keeping them healthy and not dead.

Thanks mate.

Why can't we give the NHS £350 million a week to mitigate future pandemics now we are out of the b'stard red tape of the EU and have taken back control?

With regards to future NHS funding, I have forwarded your concerns to Rishi.

An immediate, if only an 'out of office' response hinted at he'll look into it but could you keep these queries on the Brexit page?

The Bear Pit being of a higher priority.

The actual heroes requested we stop galavanting around outside like the Covid virus didn't exist, and instead stay the f**k indoors like we were asked to.

I remember first lockdown when we clapped the carers, some neighbours came out at 8pm every Thursday, then by Friday the same ones were sneakily getting their mates or families around for drinks in the garden :tosser:

Stop using the NHS as a party political football to point score would also be most welcome. If the main political parties could come together and agree on a long term funding plan (linked to a social care strategy) we might actually see a health service fit for the 21st century. Chances of it happening? :flypig:

I hope you had a valid reason being out so late!

Genuinely had no idea it was being done again until this thread popped up.
Another vote here for NHS staff to receive a payrise instead of being clapped. They've done a blinding job throughout this whole bizarre situation and continue to do amazing things while under immense pressure and stress.

Wasn't there talk of a bonus or was I dreaming. A decent pay rise as well

Didn't the Tory party spell out their funding plan on the side of a bus about five years ago? £350m a week wasn't it?

Pray for the covid victims
Regards
DF

With over 76,000 deaths and almost a third of a million hospital admissions for Covid (so far), I suspect your sudden exhortation is a bit unnecessary - there have probably been quite a few prayers said already.

But thanks for the kind and supportive words, I'm sure they mean a lot to the grieving families.

Dear Mr Rishi,

Clump said that your bus mentioned how much we give to the EU and what other things we might do with the cash once freed.

Here is his email address.....
