Watch as the UK claps to say thank you to the NHS

Members of the British public have stepped out of their homes to give a nationwide round of applause to NHS workers.

Usually the nhs tell people that they’ve got the clap

[thebatman]

Does anybody else find this really disturbing? Like some kind of cult?

[martinebon]

Appreciate this gesture every week, but we in healthcare need better protection! Im sorry but mere gloves, surgical mask, and an apron is not enough. 30% of our workforce are self isolating since they are infected. A number of us have already died.

[xesisgood]

Where is the clap for other key workers who don’t work for the NHS? I am sure the other individuals who are keeping the country running would appreciate some recognition. How about the retail workers, security guards, firemen, police, bus drivers etc.... kind of a slap in the face to them considering they are still required to go to work during this pandemic.

Funny how all the NHS staff clapped themselves. Weren't they meant to be busy or something?

[thescottishwildman]

The key workers can't be that busy if they have time to waste standing clapping, does CORONA stop at 8pm or am I missing something?

[rorymurray]

Care workers are geting minimum wage bloody disgrace..big up the NHS and all the care workers

[bakkhan]

Total respect to the NHS staff
They are true warriors fighting against an invisible menace.

We will always be indepted to them

[BigDan]

Clapping the NHS for doing what they are paid to do?

[NothingButElliot]

Wonder how many people died whilst they all stood around

[stun]

Let’s remember it’s the armed forces to !!! The NHS wouldn’t cope otherwise how about clap for them
And ALL KEY workers

[donnyE]

they need PPE! & patients need ventilators!

[davehardy]

Instead of clapping why not do something that actually helps

[janettemellor]

Oh and we all put are life's at risk for minimum wage think about it

[owlyyy]

Does anyone remember clapping the fire service and ambulances on 9/11?? Na thought not

[belfasta]

Yes clap for our governments inability to get ppe and its late response to this crisis

I guess in West London and Derby people are taking the lock down seriously now and not coming out to clap for the NHS! Well done!

[lifeisblessed]

Well they are clapping and saying thank to the NHS....Because there will be no NHS when this B.S. is finished....Stay blessed always

[Lovegunsix]

Bloody hell every news report now is breaking news

[marcbentley]

Love how Gestapo ( police ) are stood about wasting time ! Do they ever work ? Suppose doughnut shops are closed as less innocent people about to harass. Well done to all the services and people that deserve the cheers and thanks !
