Tonight, Matthew, I’d like to nominate Annemarie Plas of ‘Clap for our Carers’.

Fresh from running the 3.20 at Kempton, this prime nag emerged on Tuesday to announce that the beloved seal-a-thon was making a return, in news about as welcome as Rolf Harris in a branch of Mothercare.
“We” – she pronounced to Twitter – “are bringing back the 8pm applause”. Are we, love? Are we really? Since when were you made Boris Johnson’s representative on earth?
Surprisingly, after the cult that developed around the event last time, this went down with the people of Twitter like a cup of cold sick. The right called it virtue signalling bollocks, the left called it patronising and facile. The centre didn’t get the memo and Keir “Max Headroom” Starmer was pictured on his doorstep banging his hands together like a plummy-mouthed orangutan.
Now, I had a good flick through her Twitter replies and I thought the debate was surprisingly good-natured, with hardly any crazies, just a lot of fairly direct criticism.
Imagine my surprise then to read in various papers that Annemarie received “personal abuse” in the replies to her post that “put her family at risk”. No you didn’t, flower, people just disagreed with you on social media. You came across as an arrogant, publicity-hungry virtue signaller and you were rightly told to get back in your box.
Apparently we were all supposed to be devastated that Plas – our Queen of Claps – was no longer going to publicise the event. HOW WILL WE COPE never hearing her name on Channel 4 again, or never having Radio 4 drowned out of a Thursday evening by wastes of semen beating seven shades of shit out of their saucepans? We’ll never again see supposedly exhausted doctors and nurses cavorting outside rip-off glass-‘n’-aluminium PFI hospitals for photo ops.
My point is, a 37-year-old woman really should be able to tell the difference between criticism and being ‘abused’ by Nasty Men On The Internet.
Nobody, for example, called you a cunt. And, thanks to this august site, I would like to rectify that today.

Clap for Heroes is a cunt.
I cannot foresee why anyone in the correct state of mind would bring this horrible, patronising dead dog of a ritual back…really, it beggars belief.
After so many months of government lies, media spin and propaganda regarding vaccines I find very little to clap about.
I will clap from the highest, hell, I might even grab a saucepan and break out the family silver spoons if Boris, Hancock and all the other liars get tortured, strung up and spat on.
I also REFUSE to clap any cunt who is paid for doing a job, from the lowest toilet cleaner to the highest paid consultant. You choose that career, so fuck the fuck off and do it.
Clapp for Heroes? like someone buried a turd and someone else dug it up….it still smells like shit.
…and this from Quick Draw McGraw
Annemarie Plas and her ‘Clap for the NHS’ sideshow. Yes, it’s back. Started back during the first lockdown, by the above named, entirely too smug, Annemarie Plas, this utter seal show has been brought back as ‘Clap for Heroes’. For fuck’s sake. Is she trying for an MBE or something? Because this is not the way to get one.
Happily though, it doesn’t seem to be quite the popular thing it was a few months back. On announcing it on Twitter, Plas was told that it was neither wanted nor required. Even the NHS are calling it unnecessary. Surely, if the people that you claim to be clapping for say ‘thanks, but no thanks. We’d rather just get on with our job without a fuss’, then you would call it off. But no, Plas and her demented followers are carrying on regardless, which makes me wonder if she really is doing this for the NHS, or whether she’s using it for a bit of publicity?
Equally happily, it’s first round, last Thursday (7th January) did not see a very large uptake of clowns, keen to virtue signal. Hopefully, this also means that we won’t be seeing the applause Nazis taking to social media to out those who didn’t take part, as happened to the young mother, who was doxxed by a number of her fascist neighbours for not clapping. The fact she was caring for her sick child at the time was irrelevant. Fuck the child’s health, she didn’t clap the NHS, bitch must pay.
Typically for a member of the Leftwaffe, she got a bit upset that the vast majority of the replies she received on Twitter were telling her that a second round of clapping/sauce pan banging (or school bell ringing in front of the media if your name is Jeremy Corbyn) was not wanted. She’s now trying to play the victim, because although the majority of replies she got were actually quite polite, there were a definite minority of people who were less than polite. I didn’t see any, but she’s claiming that she received death threats. I can’t say for sure, but I think she’s using the old lefty trick of exaggeration there. Either way, she’s a publicity seeking cunt.
