do people clap tonight?

 

Dunno, I don't get the clapping thing. They are doing a great job but in their position I wouldn't want the fuss I would just consider it my job.

 

morale

 

Off the top of my head I’d say innocent people ending up dead because of being wrongly accused, a lack of a proper justice system and a normalisation of violence.

But he has high approval ratings and maybe the people feel they need a strong hand at this point in their economic and social development.

 

I suppose some may like the praise and it'll give them a boost.

 

especially the ones watching hundreds of people suffocating every day

 

Yeah I get it now.

 

The London ones then?

So, London is clapping tonight, right?

 

look up the word especially

im hoping for an opportunity to clap and not sure if its planned

 

Yes, I know what it means.

So, they're the ones who need a good clap right?

 

Doubt there's a nurse or doctor who has witnessed hundreds suffocating in one day in Newcastle mate.



Yet.

 

all of the nhs and key workers deserve it.. read back if you're confused

 

so what?

 

I'm only 'confused' by your statement that the ones who witness hundreds dying a day are the ones we should clap at.


Unless there are a bunch of uber nurses and doctors who get to witness every daily death in Britain. By skype or something?

 

Forget it.

 

I do wonder how NHS workers really feel about the clapping thing. Some might feel a sense of pride or something, but most are down to earth and hard working people who know what this is, useless pointless and transient faux appreciation expression.

 

i asked if we are clapping and luv said he didnt see the point... i replied morale.. i used the comment about the people seeing people die because he said 'some' would appreciate it... my comment worked because he replied yes i get it now. I simply tried to imagine seeing that and going to work knowing its coming and thought those people in particular could do with a lift and show of national support , not singling out certain areas that matter more or less.

 

some where drawn to tears and very appreciative.

a payrise would be great too

 

I think most would like proper protective equipment first .
