C'mon Sue, he's just being used to con the public. Like the goddamn handclap & minute's silence. Archived Message Posted by Der on May 1, 2020, 8:04 am, in reply to "The money raised is for NHS charities not to fund the NHS directly" You can admire the old guy doing his physiotherapy, and then some, and appreciate his big heart without being taken in by the bunkum. A fly past indeed. And all those goddamn cards being sent on his birthday. About £4 a toss these days. What does that say about the great British public. It might say they love the NHS. Great. But we also hear how they are more than happy with the way Boris et al are handling the crisis. But surely to celebrate the latter is to accept all those deaths and the lack of PPE and the running down of the NHS and the lack of support for the many during this lockdown. The goddamn politicians will exploit anything. That handclap and that minute's silence being further cases in point. And shit, I'm a clapper. I heard some nurse saying what it means to her so I swallow my rage n join in every Thursday along with all my Tory voting neighbours. The bastards. Never noticed Mary's "unremitting nastiness" or whatever it was. She's got a keen eye for the nonsense. I don't think you guys are that far apart actually.
