Don't Forget..............

Show you support
Tonight at 8pm can you all either stand on doorsteps or open a window and clap and cheer as loudly as you can for all the frontline workers - NHS staff, carers, food and medicine delivery drivers, shop workers and anyone else on the frontline, risking their own lives to makes yours better.

Britain will cheer EVERY Thursday at 8pm for NHS
Copy and pasted from fb👍👍
Replied: 26th Mar 2020 at 21:06

we should be cheering for all key workers. Those serving us in supermarkets, those looking after key workers' children in schools, those delivering food and fuel, those keeping gas, electricity and clean water flowing.

It’s the least we can do basil, as you say it was emotional, and yes let’s keep it going, the amount of people who honoured the NHS and Carers with the appreciation was brilliant

It isn't a legal requirement to give anyone a round of applause.

I dont normally get involved with the anonymous low lifes, but my lady friend says Mick why dont you ask the question, How come this pretend new boy on Wiganworld knows so much about me.
Perhaps you Tom knows the answer to that simple question.

Oh I dunno, Azir, I think a stern telling off will shut the old fool up.
Google Mick Byrne to see that is really is an old man.

Replied: 10th Apr 2020 at 13:10
The clapping is great isn't it.
But health workers, and other essential workers are putting themselves in harms way on our behalf, and we are certainly NOT doing all that we could to protect them.
I am sorry, but it is JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
In 1939, every man, woman and child was issued with a respirator to protect them from a threat which never materialised.
In 2020, we have fatalities amongst health care staff who tried to protect themselves with bin liners where adequate PPE could not be obtained!
A month into all of this, and we have not redirected our resources to address this most pressing need.
News reports show individuals in various trades refocusing their endeavours to provide what is needed. (But, this is small scale.)
WHY have we not seen the industrial refocusing that we saw in WW2 so that the manufacture and distribution of that which we most need, already churning out the massive quantities of PPE?
Mat Hancock said yesterday, if you can make this sort of stuff, contact us.
Lots of messages from those who can saying we did so weeks ago, and have received no response from UK government.
I am sorry. THIS IS A FAILURE!

Really strange this week.
Previous weeks lots of people clappin.
This week, just me and three other nearby households in my immediate neighbourhood.
Could be they have tired of it already.
Maybe they have all had enough of lockdown, and gone out for the evening!
Quite a lot of hoots from car horns! More road traffic than I have seen in a month.
Replied: 16th Apr 2020 at 20:06

I think maybe some people were expecting a different outcome than another three weeks in lockdown.

The Fakebooker have come to there senses and relised clapping is just a waste of time when your not going to be shown on the telly news
Replied: 16th Apr 2020 at 22:24
I was surprised.
I live in the midst of a cluster of very large houses, at least half of them have been converted into care homes. Also, two major hospitals nearby and a University Med school, so there is a high concentration of health/care workers hereabouts.
The first hospital in UK to treat Covid-19 is here, so health workers here have been living with this since January.
On local News just, 38 people have died here today: maybe this has left people subdued.

My eldest daughter is the senior manager at Wigan Infirmary Pharmacy..She is due to give birth to her first child any day now..As it is I cant see the child till this is over...many others in the same boat. They are doing a bril job...joined in the clapping myself as usual.

Very muted here, tonight.
I gave the absentees the benefit of doubt last week, reasoning maybe the large number of deaths locally, had left people with reduced appetite to clap.
But, alas, even fewer this week, I guess that the novelty is wearing off.
Quite a few sounds of fireworks heard in the greater distance though, even though local TV appeal had requested not to set off fireworks!
