So another "clapping session" for the NHS staff, I suppose you all feel better. Why do people fall for this ruse, it takes the focus off the real problems in the NHS and the stress the workers are under. They can't pay bills with claps, they can't feed their kids with claps. It is nothing more than a paracetamol, it might make you feel better but in no way cures the problem. I'm sure our lords and masters are very happy that we are out on the streets all laughing and clapping, instead of displaying our righteous anger. Why can't we all take to he streets and instead of clapping, shout in anger about the real problems in the NHS. The continuing slicing bits off to hand to the corporate profit machine, health for profit in any society can't be acceptable. Shout out about the slashing of services, due to "austerity" a deliberate policy forcing the NHS to privatise some of its services, the gross shortage of staff and having to hire from private profit greedy "recruiting agencies", the cap on NHS staff wages, the ever increasing waiting lists, and so the catalogue of deliberate government policies decimating the NHS and adding immensely to the stress the staff have to work under, goes on and increases.
Clapping will not save them form the results of an extremely stressful working environment. It will not protect them from infection, long hours, and shortage of equipment. However it will make us all feel that everything is fine and we are doing well and also giving reward to those front-line workers. They need much more than than clapping, let's look at the real situation and see how we can really remedy that creaking system that is our NHS. We shouldn't sit back and watch it being sold off piece by piece to the friends of the pampered privileged class. They don't have your welfare at heart, it is profit that they are after.
