British folk are commanded to clap on Wednesdays at 8pm!

What a fekin 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤣😂

Our health sector is made up of majority of foreign nationals. This party has made it harder to employ, taxes on them people and record unfulfilled job vacancies. Go ahead Boris you have a clap at everyone’s expense. You and your Elite are not fit for purpose.

full video..meanwhile he is planning to kill HUMANITY.......ohh God help us.

Claps for the NHS, salutes the bankers.

BorisJohnson

Jimmy Saville.

I've never EVER hated anyone, but this has pushed me over the edge!! I hate liars, hypocrites and ultimately FALSE people, I am ashamed to be British right now! 😢 Do not clap for our NHS and frontline workers when you only care for your economy pubs I'm happy I didn't vote 4 u

Wheres his mrs.

If they had to give a pound for every clap, they wouldn’t clap at all

Jonson is a total joke if it wasn't for the he disaster of CV-19 he and Commings would be well on the way to selling off and selling out our NHS to the highest bidder....

You know where he can stick those 2 thumbs of his .., absolute disgrace!! Made up you got the best care tho BorisJohnson the rest of us don't matter do we!? What's the current UK death toll to date? Your world breaking test and trace system? 🙈🤬

BorisJohnson hypocrite

Boris 'I don't believe in gestures' Johnson

Hey sky we know you try and hide anything Scottish for propaganda purposes but why not show how popular independence now is in Scotland and the snp

Yeah, he got the best treatment at St Thomas's hospital, with the minest of symptoms remember? Taken in for precautionary measures.,whilst 101 had a strict script to stick to, and thousands of us died!! Car park fines for our NHS,underpaid, overworked, no PPE! And he claps? 🤬😢

Not my street 😬

Bread and circuses

Claps as he killed them through murderous incompetence.

Wait until the NHS staff and carers ask for a much deserved pay rise and see if he is still clapping then.

Probably be American owned by its 73rd if Number10press has its way.

Wow looks like a white seal clapping

I’m surprised you showed Boris clapping. Normally you are just trying to show Starmer off in a good light. Either way, is still a disgrace. Till you sack BethRigby, I’ll never tune in again

Clapping does absolutely nothing. Show appreciation by funding the health service and wages properly

So it is Labour’s Policy to Back Black Lives Matter. I thought the Leader Starmer said it wasn’t. It would appear his MPs aren’t listening!

Cheers boris 🙄

Doesn’t do gestures.

Cut funding and staff, then clap 👍

Nationwide applause Got any footage of that?

Why are they so apart

Doesn't Do Gestures...

Seems like a gesture to me.

Bare faced cheek of the twat

£100 per month in all staff paypackets would be much better. You can keep 'the clap' Johnson.

Is she in her pyjamas ?

Hypocrite... Tune in next week when a pay rise is voted down to much cheering 🙄

In other news, several Dalmatians appear to have gone missing in the past 45 minutes.

I’m not keen on gestures.

Shame Carrie and Wilfred not there to take part too?

Nice gesture oh wait

Thought he didn’t do “gestures”.........

Gesture politics eh LiarJohnson?

Let's hope this Govt sponsored clapping for NHS isn't an advertising campaign for the hedge fund, venture capitalists working hard in Tufton St. to sell it off to the USA & other disaster capitalists around the world. After all as a brand it has certainly got better currency now.

Stop aiding his narrative Sky News DivideAndConquer

Irony ClapForTheNHS

Stop trying to sell it off slowly then

So raise their fucking wages

UK encouraged to take part in final Clap For Carers to celebrate NHS anniversaryClap For Our Carers will return for a final round of applause to celebrate the anniversary of the NHS - launched 72 years ago today I help fund them. I’m not clapping as well More funds and less clapping is what is needed. Might have missed the memo, but clapping doesn’t pay for things these days, does it? Maybe we should clap to the Royal Family instead of pay for them? Bet they’d love it! SocialistVoice Vacuous and meaningless.

Britons asked to clap for NHS on Sunday to mark 72nd anniversaryCelebration planned for 5pm backed by politicians and head of health service I work for the NHS. I find this clapping an empty gesture now. Instead of clapping, act responsibly (unlike the government). The virus is still with us, please maintain social distancing and don’t crowd into pubs and shops. I’m an ICU nurse. Thanks for clapping I appreciate the support. However, what would support the NHS more than anything else would be for the constituents of tory MP’s keep up pressure on them to fund the NHS with the money it needs to enable us to support patients NHSMillion Lol. At least Ed only had trouble with a sandwich
