Wife works in doctors practice in wigan phone ringing non stop people asking why no vaccine .Up to now they've no idea when its coming 5 doctors ready and waiting.
We have a Surgery down near me that has had so many repeated calls from certain patients that they have had to threaten to remove some from the patient list if they keep ringing up. The same folk are calling up and asking the same thing day in day out and then you have others who are now ringing up demanding to be bumped up the priority list. It's the IPC that is in charge of it not the Doctors Surgeries but some folk just won't have it.

Thats what wife's saying. Everyone one in Wigan is now a carer asking when vaccines available and can they have it as well when they bring their gran in even had someone from Australia on holiday who says she's here looking after her mum asking for it.
 

The campaign faded after several months but organiser Annemarie Plashas revealed it will return this week after the Prime Minister announced new blanket restrictions on Monday.

It will now be now known as Clap for Heroes in honour of everyone who has been affected by the pandemic, including NHS workers, parents, and people who have been shielding.

So now we have to clap for parents? If they'd used protection or gone for the pearl necklace they wouldn't have any little polluters who god forbid, they actually have to look after.

See you all Thursday at 8 sharp! It will be followed at 9 by the two minutes of hate!
 
It was bad enough that Cummings did what he did....it was compounded by the majority of the cabinet coming out and defending his actions. Then he was actually given a platform (rose garden at the rear of number 10) to apologise for his breaking of govt rules.
Did he do so? No
Was he sacked then? No
Take your point about younger people, but peoples' perceptions were changed as a result.
Appalling cock up by the Tories..again.

I agree that it was appalling mate.

I just don't know that it led to the vast majority of people's attitudes changing.

I'd say constant in-out lockdowns, government undermining their own tier system, constant news of people saying we won't ever get back to normal etc, government's crap decisions, contribute more to that than the specific Cummings incident did. It's a small, although important, part of the tosh pie they've served up.

We’re not allowed out so won’t be doing this. Plus it’s freezing.
 
Can someone explain to me what exactly clapping for NHS/Care workers is supposed to achieve? They don’t need applause they need the public to stop being numpties and follow government guidance on mask wearing, social distancing and general hygiene to ease the pressure on hospitals and get death rates down

This will turn into street parties by the end of it, full on bunting and spreads.
