Brother Blades Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Thinking about the clapping again I think the thing it most reminds me of is the kind of person who harks back to the 2012 Olympics as some golden era, or sign a 38 degrees petition. It's so superficial. A 21st century hail mary. Clap clap clap right that's me done my bit.Imagine if everyone who clapped also wrote to their elected representatives saying they're not voting for them next time if every key worker isn't wearing appropriate PPE next week?That’s a great idea, might put it on Facebook to see how many likes it gets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazed they weren't one of the first places to shut- and why can't you do that sort of job from home?

Bairn Necessities Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 So far any time I've been out its only been joggers acting like wankers. Pretty standard. No, please carry on running in twos down the pavement. I'll do my best to climb over this car to avoid you... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain that no amount of money will ever be considered enough by the NHS .

Guest Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 6 hours ago, Boo Khaki said: I suspect that no matter if it was originally intended to show appreciation for NHS workers, in a lot of people's minds 'key' workers right now absolutely includes the lassie on the supermarket checkout, the bloke emptying the bins etc etc. I don't tend to actively join in these things, but I don't see the need to mock people for doing it either. I've got friends in the street who have been self-isolating for nearly ten days now, so anything that makes them feel some sort of solidarity and mutual inclusion is totally understandable in my opinion. So what if they want to hang out of their window and clap for a minute or two with everyone else? Doesn't make an iota of difference to my life. Who are they clapping though? Its mostly empty streets. It would be different if NHS staff were driving past in an open top bus or if the clappers were hanging around outside a hospital or surgery or even Tesco at 9am on sunday morning but standing at your doorstep aimlessly clapping nobody just confirms you as a brain dead nugget imho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what you do there's always going to be choices to make on what to spend a budget on. All in favour of it being higher but even if we increased it by 10% we're never going to be able to fund what everyone wants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, it's much better spending money bailing out billionaire shysters and crooks rather than ensuring our health service is fit for purpose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is needed to ensure the health service is 'fit for purpose '? We're spending what 150bn or something annually in the UK. What's enough? 200bn? 300bn? 500 bn? Even in Scotland the SNP who aren't a proto fascist Brexiteer clown collective like Westminster have tough choices to make on public spending.

mathematics Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Well the love for the NHS didn't last long: Mrs Mathematics is currently at M&S, making use of the early opening hour for NHS workers. Queue to get in was filled with old people, and when they got told to scram, one old guy had started roaring and screaming at the M&S worker for "chanigng the rules". Mrs Mathematics, kind soul that she is, is probably stoking the flames a bit by telling him to f**k off and applaud her some more. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this is all over, and the effect on climate change is absolutely zero, do you think the climate nazis will back off a bit and let people live their lives if the unexpected test of their theories and deliberately selected time periods show them up for what they are? I'm slightly surprised ive not heard anything. Globally there has been a massive reduction in production, air and car travel. We are constantly told how bad these are for the environment. If that is true, there must surely have been an evident reduction in global temperature by now... -17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
