A cunting for those who stand outside clapping on command through peer pressure.
Some people can appreciate the NHS without clapping like a spastic, signalling their virtue like some attention-seeking cunt.
I don’t mind modifying my behaviour for common sense purposes, but that is pathetic.
Worse than the Ice Bucket Challenge. Worse than Pavlov’s dogs.
Nominated by Cuntamus Prime
Whilst the time set aside to applaud the NHS is all very nice, I cannot help but think it is also bollocks in extremis.
Years and years…decades in fact of the NHS being slated, complained about, front line staff being chastised as inefficient and uncaring in a system that is, quite frankly, unworkable (Flo Nightingale would struggle with the fucker) Now, however, Joe Public have suddenly realised that the NHS are worthy of praise in the midst of a pandemic. I actually find it quite ridiculous, as well as deeply hypocritical.
They could have been praising them up until now. Why does it take a global crisis for people to suddenly see the NHS and its staff’s worth? Why the sudden applause? Because they are dealing with sick people? Newsflash: they have always done that. Because they are overrun and over-worked with the sheer number of sick people they are treating and trying to save? They have always done that too. Because they are working in tenuous conditions with limited means, limited staff and limited downtime? Yes, that’s right. they have always done that too.
But let’s now applaud them…..the staff who won’t even be listening to your pathetic clapping as they are too busy trying to save lives and keeping everything crossed that they will not become sick too.
Insanity.
Sorry if I cannot get enthused about this ‘recognition’ of the NHS. It all seems a bit after the fact to me.

Mawkish, sentimental, virtue-signalling bollocks. Do we have to keep demonstrating to health sector workers that we don’t despise them? And, of course, it costs nothing which, in my view, makes it worth nothing.
We all appreciate what health workers do, but here’s a thought – how about showing some solidarity with all the hospitality, retail and personal service sector workers who have lost, or are under threat of losing, their livelihoods? I don’t think any doctors or nurses will be losing their jobs over this. I do accept that one or two may lose their lives, like the 76 year old GP in Southend in today’s news, and that they put themselves in danger for our good, but this is part of what they do, as it is with the police, rescue services and military.
We’ll probably be expected to do this regularly in future now, like the obligatory two minutes silences for any newsworthy deaths. I hate attempts to emotionally cajole me into doing something I wouldn’t do of my own volition – Movember, Stoptober, dry Jan, children in need, sports relief, even new year’s resolutions. All a load of old wank.

I don’t get this clap for carers thing,
Why would anyone want them to catch an STI?

Oh Lordy. Not content with the handclap last night we had a meeting this morning where our boss bought in some shitty little poster that his kid had made last night saying “I Love The NHS” and the soppy sod started welling up. We then had to give ourselves a clap. I didn’t. I stood with arms folded, stony faced as usual.
They then asked for volunteers to go home and come back on a night shift tonight or to do extra shifts this weekend. A tumbleweed blew through. They are taking such fucking liberties with the staff at the moment it’s no surprise that we no longer want to go the extra mile, crisis or no crisis. The rules are being rewritten, our rights are being trampled over. Once this is all over, I suspect the number of nursing vacancies will go through the roof. But give us a clap and free parking for a while, yeah?
Arseholes.

Amazing that the sight of little Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte spack0-clapping didn’t make you want to work another 100 hours this week, wave a little Union Jack and do a curtsy, clap back and get straight back to work?!
5
Damn. The clocks go forward on Saturday night. We won’t have as many hours to work. I’m surprised the managers haven’t had a word with whoever’s in charge of that to get it stopped.
4
I admiit it may have benefitted some NHS staff, but for how long, compared to the extra horror they’ll now face because the gormless public couldnt even stop themselves gallivanting around the parks and beaches last weekend?
5 – 7 days later, and what a fucking surprise: cases are skyrocketing, and now loads of otherwise healthy people are droping dead of viral pneumonia. Clap away, selfish cunts.

This shit got my back up. It’s not that i don’t appreciate the NHS, it’s the fact this was Media led. This whole circus has been driven by the media from day one, scaring the living shit out of people,
what’s it going to be next week, “go out and breakdance in the street @ 6pm, sharp,” sad thing is if the media pushed for it, CUNTS would do it, mark my words!
Like someone stated, this shit belongs on the continent with Drama Queens like the Italians and Spanish, they’re emotional unhinged cunts at the best of times, that’s what set Brits apart from them “throw your guns down” cunts, or it did once upon a time.
Respect the the NHS workers, but fuck off cunt to what is nothing more then “Simon fucking says, and YOU do” Media CUNTS!

I have to salute this nomination. Over the past ten years I’ve spent a lot of time in Hospitals. Initially for my self (blood disorder) then a recently departed Mother who was diagnosed with the Big Casino. It’s only when you spend a lot of time there that you get to know it. There are some wonderful people in our NHS and plenty of fucking idiots, an Indian Clouseau esque doctor trying to get to grips with a blood pressure cuff sticks in my head (I was looking around waiting for Beadle to ungown) but the clear lack of funding has been obvious and prevalent for a long time. The good eggs have battled along regardless knowing they were pleading to a brick wall. Not a fucking clap to be had outside of personal experience, in all that time. The fuck you buddy and I’m alright Jack attitude of a sick society has suddenly vanished to be replaced with something questionably worse. Tom, Betty, and Proff Poole at Coventry Arden Centre. Silent applause.

On Friday there is to be an organised virtue signal in gratitude to our selfless delivery and courier services. At some time between 8am and midday.
1
Didn’t realise it’s going to be clapping EVERY Thursday at 8pm.
Really, what’s the fucking point?
We all know what a great job they are doing, why the need for this?
4
So that your neighbours and children can report you to the Not Virtue Signalling Hotline for failing to comply with the left’s fascist edict.
Naturally Lady Creampuff will be clapping her hands raw from my office window and watching out for non clappers to snitch on.
I will be quietly going about my business cooking tonight’s vegetable vindaloo.
2
Vegetable vindaloo is an excellent choice Cream Puff.
Had a take away vegetable vindaloo about two and a half weeks ago from our local Indian restaurant. A little disappointed that it was not spicy enough to make me hiccup.
Never really sure why the really hot ones have this effect on me but the side effect doesn’t detract from my enjoyment.

Fuck me Ruff Tuff.
Several cunts in my road joined in with the utterly pointless clapping. Also some fucking fireworks let off further afield.
All cunts.
1
I had to fuck off for a walk because my neighbour decided to pointlessly cut a shit load of wood with a circular saw, and as I returned home, I could hear it all kicking off, fireworks the lot. Some cunt banging pots and pans like a demented fuck, that’s not showing gratitude, that’s a look at me cunt all day.
2
Same here Willie. Fireworks used to be once a year annoyance; now we have to endure them every fucking week! Which means Pixie is terrified every Thursday evening and our other two cats aren’t exactly impressed either.
1
I live on a small street when every fucking Thursday all the cunts come out to bang on there fucking pots and pans some cunts even got a gong. Yes good job nhs and all that but ITS YOUR FUCKING JOB the rest of us haven’t got one any more
3
@DCI get off your high horse and realise you’re doing the job you worked toward and chose. The rest of us don’t get claps when other jobs were hard and neither do our frontline. People who died in WW’s and other global crisis get a single day of remembrance and support.
Cool you might save my life but remember there will be a time when one of us will save your life…. unless you “introduce yourself as cunt”
Yours sincerely,
A Surgeon who’s not a self centered dickhead who wants attention like this idiot.

Why do I have to clap these cunts for doing their job? I’m doing my fucking job and no cunt claps me. They have to be near sick people? Boo fucking hoo. That’s in the job description.
