Call for butterflies to be new NHS support symbol

Those displayed in Penarth and Barry inspired Conor and he used thousands of photographs of them to produce large mosaics, which are now displayed in Llandough and Barry hospitals.Conor created mosaics now on display at Barry and Llandough hospitals in Vale of Glamorgan

And he does not want to banish the rainbow, but hopes it can continue to be used and even combined with the butterfly.

This is embarrassingly feeble. Just pay them a proper wage for their hard work!

or you could just give them a pay rise

And that's news? How about a pay rise so nurses don't have to use food banks? Be better than a stupid butterfly.

Suggest 'a photographer' study the meaning of symbols. The butterfly isn't appropriate for an NHS support symbol - it's a symbol of life after death, along with the pomegranate. Check the paths in this cemetery - can you find emblems of the afterlife traced out in the paths?

The Butterfly is one of the emblems of death and life-after-death that can be found traced out in the paths of my local old cemetery, along with the pomegranate. Butterflies are not a good symbol for the NHS by any stretch of the imagination.

🙄

I wonder where they got the idea from ?

What should thyroid cancer charities use if that's the case. The NHS doesn't need a symbol. It's got its brand. Everyone knows the logo, it's trusted. Only an idiot would spend time and money on a new logo for the most highly recognised and trusted brand in the country

I strongly suspect they would be stars and stripes colours.

Really The PM lied yesterday on your news program saying the U.K. has one of the toughest border controls in the world. Clearly to everyone in the country a lie! Not a word by your reporter.

Money spent on the world beating track and trace £22 billion. Would have given every nurse a £6000 pay rise for ten years. Bloody shite, like this, demeans our nhs staff.

Call for NHS staff to get payrise

Yet another BBC distraction from the scandal of the failed Serco privatised track and trace system, real terms public sector pay cuts, PPE contracts law breaking by MattHancock and his cronies, etc etc - it’s clear what’s happening at the BBC under its newly chosen “leadership”.

Maybe start focusing on the govt giving off GP surgeries to US private health care conglomerates & their callous refusal to give NHS staff a decent pay rise. The rest is fluff for easily distracted imbeciles.

Can we please stop this non-sense? Rainbows & Butterflies do not pay my rent, my bills or buy me food. It is a method of ‘transferring’ the real issue from reality to fantasy. We need a pay rise. Why not pay CEO’s, financiers & politicians with hand claps, rainbows & butterflies?

Patronising tosh. Fund the NHS properly.

FFS🤮

Wanna thank NHS workers? Don't vote Tory. Or DUP.

Because a clap wasn't enough? Sort yourselves our!! 140,000 people have died and NHS workers are on their knees - fight for a decent pay rise for them.

Is this ‘journalism’ now?

Do butterflies pay the bills? Do butterflies pay the mortgage? Do butterflies feed the kids? bloody butterflies, get in the bin! RevokeTheBBCsCharter news provider my eye.

I think NHS staff would prefer the pay raise they deserve, not another meaningless symbol.

More bullshit deflection .... try a decent NHS pay rise first. And then an open transparent procurement policy for all supplies they need.

Because we really like them but also we're killing them off? Okay.

Well meaning but regeneration and rebirth here require investment in staff , facilities, equipment. Increase the number of ICU beds and crucially give staff that well deserved pay rise MattHancock RishiSunak

Stop privatising it.

Ah, the news. What wonders are in store for me today. The important topic of swapping a rainbow graphic to a butterfly one. I must read this & carefully consider the importance of this potential change. In other news, the gov is absolutely fermenting in corruption.

No! Everyone knows the blue NHS symbol. It needs money not a new identification. Stop with this crap

How About just supporting them with better pay and conditions instead of empty gestures ?

Roses are red Forget the butterflies Give NHS workers A motherfucking pay rise.

I'll never do anything to support that organisation

I'm sure they would prefer a nice pay rise and proper funding.

Here's a better better support symbol

Aired now give them fair pay

Or paying them a living wage. That might be a good way to show our support also.

Bob skips with joy....😇🪄.....Let's put up a lovely display. Butterflies for all. I see glitter and kids paintings. And a damn site cheaper than a pay raise.

How much will this help pay my bills? Claps didn't bloody work either.

I think they would just prefer cash

How about money instead

Payrise and then butterflies.

How about some money mf

Or you could give doctors and nurses pay rises or at least free parking

Butterflies have quite a right wing element

You have already tainted the rainbow, please don’t spoil the butterfly! protectourbutterflies

Like anyone REALLY gives a f*ck, I mean honestly, do the BBC think the country is SO braindead that we need to read about this sh*t

Butterflies do not bring back the thousands of preventable deaths caused directly by the NHS being shut IN A PANDEMIC! The most critical time to have health services, yet Matt Hancock decided to shut the NHS. Disgrace and he is accountable for all those deaths.

FFS! 'Call' from one bloke. I call for that one bloke to be hung by his testicles on an angry ant hill and covered in honey.

A pay increase , of course not !

you know what would be better? money. respectable wages.

Enough virtue signalling. How about the NHS start supporting the millions of sick people who don't have Covid but who are now on a massive waiting list awaiting treatment.

Give them money not this f*cking nonsense.

Support? They’re shut!! Is this a joke?

Why can't having a financial settlement that adequately funds them be the new 'NHS Support Symbol'?

This seems like a feeble attempt to create a sense of community spirit where there is none. People have had their lives destroyed to “Save the NHS”. No one is clapping, no one is putting up butterflies.

How about money. I bet the people that work long hours in awful conditions trying to save lives would like money better than bloody butterflies.

Here's an idea, use the fucking £ symbol, with numbers after it, on investment and a pay rise for staff.

RishiSunak The government should pay increase to all staff heroes not insult them with butterflies HWLHCCG Southern_NHSFT nhs_scft EastSussexCCG NorthumbriaNHS NCICNHS KingstonHospNHS sashnhs NHSScotland PayRise4NHS NHS Heroes Nurses Doctors covid

How about a payrise instead!

Who called for that because it wasn’t the staff who faced covid head in every day.... NHSMillion keepnhspublic NHSuk bbchealth DHSCgovuk CommonsHealth HealthyAirLDN LordsFoodCom

No, just give NHS workers good wage rises and support the NHS financially, stop running it down to breaking point like it has been done for years.

Butterflies are pretty but without strength and short-lived. Is that REALLY the image the UK Govt. wants us to have of the NHS? They are lions, led and funded by donkeys and hyenas. Pay them properly and cut the bovine excrement.

So butterflies are now the thing to support NHS staff? I'm sure that will be reassuring to all staff when it comes to paying bills, food shopping etc.

How about no. A payrise would be better.

Is that because this government has broken the cocoon and loosened the NHS onto the free market... ripe for exploitation by greedy tykes 😡

Will they be able to use the butterflies to buy food, pay bills etc? If so, fantastic.

Pay. NHS. Workers. A. Decent. Wage.

How about pay them more that would be a good symbol

You're supposed to he objective hard hitting media rather than Johnson's poodles.

FFS! do your job... challenge this Government's appalling record of NHS (under)funding

They will do everything but give a payrise

More gestures...

Yeah that’d suit them wouldn’t it? Minimise the NHS. Until it’s barely visible. Underneath the glossy graphics of whichever mega bucks corp gets its hands on it. NHS state it in BIG LOUD CAPITAL LETTERS.

Any Conservative chums with a graphic design business who need a few million then?

Looks like a corporate logo - Is that where we are going?

How about the calls that nurses, doctors & other medical staff *finally get the pay rise they deserve*!

A new distraction from the fact the Conservatives are failing to fund the NHS?

No more rainbows, claps and butterflies please pay people properly.

The NHS has ample support from the public. It's just the government who appear to be against it. Will the proposed new symbol address that?

Substantive news.

I thought this government didn't believe in pointless symbolism 🤔 We don't pick symbols to support organisations because the government tells us to, we don't support organisations because the government tells us to, that's not how grassroots movements work.

Butterflies are very nice. How about funding the NHS though? Is that important?

Is there no end to this shit?

I wonder which well connected, well paid PR company came up with this patronising guff ?

FFS!

Funds a graphic artist to create new support symbol whilst telling people to find new careers outside of the arts & refusing to increase funding for the NHS. TBF I loved when it was a rainbow & homophobic people unwittingly waved pride flags everywhere 💀

Sounds just what the NHS needs, eh? Glad you’re giving this appropriate prominence rather than, say, devoting a programme to the Government giving billion in taxes to its friends for PPE that didn’t work, and which cost lives as well as money. “News” - is that what you call it?

how about y'all pay the NHS workers instead of giving them empty platitudes?

£50 notes would be a more supportive symbol

More tory propaganda, it'll probably be a £100m contract for one of their mates to design the logo too

How about sheep ? 🐑🐑🐑🐑

yeah, just what the NHS really needed about now, a new symbol.... bbctorybias NHS

A better idea?

bbcnews should ashamed of its role in facilitating such nonsense and distraction. A decent wage and proper investment in staffing, resources and infrastructure would be much better but no, let's go along with the Gaslighting agenda of the toryscum in No10.

Sorry NHS. The dirty, disgusting nonces got there first. PS - just give 'em a payrise instead.

Can't be arsed reading the shite. Who exactly is calling for this.

Connor Elliot 'wants' the public to display a butterfly? Why?

What about funding instead? Rainbows and butterflies don't pay the bills!

Pointless meaningless rubbish. The best support for the NHS would be to fund it properly , employ the right number annd skill mix of staff and pay them a suitable wage. AND STOP PRIVATISING THE NHS.

Desperate shit from the department of government propaganda: One guy wants butterflies, lets cover that, not the millions who think thw NHS front line deserves a pay rise. clientjournalism

How about some cash?

Because butterflies have such a short life, like NHS staff without enough PPE?

This is really just about poor reporting. A single artist in Wales suggests his idea for something. translates that in to a 'call for' headline ensuring it spreads like wildfire. Click bait.

How about fuck support symbols and clapping and give them a pay raise?

This is a beautiful gesture because butterflies are delicate, comforting, intelligent, loving and of course exchangeable for basics like rent and food. LIVE. LOVE. LAUGHABLE

A discreet blue butterfly scheme is also already in place in the NHS to indicate a patient who may have memory issues or a dementia diagnosis.

How about....a pay rise?

Who gives a shit just pay them a fair wage, and stop sidestepping yet again. bbcnews report something worthwhile.

Yes, worthless symbols and gestures but no pay rises.

Butterflies are the hospice end of life motif.

How about BLOODY PAYING THEM PROPERLY!!?!

Please, please, please can we just stop with the patronising gestures? Symbols won’t provide a roof over the head or a meal on the table of an NHS worker. If you really want to support them, demand that MPs do something that will.

Can they use the butterflies to pay their bills? 🤔

Given the current trend with the private sector getting more and more of our NHS, perhaps a pound sign would be in order

How bout a well deserved pay rise?

Cold hard cash should be the new NHS support symbol

Call?

How about a payrise for nurses and support staff instead.

HOW ABOUT A PAY RISE BEING THE NEW NHS SUPPORT SYMBOL.

I think a better symbol of support would be a pay rise, but what do I know?

I thought butterflies were the symbol for end of life care?

WHO NEEDS A PAY RISE AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT WHEN YOU CAN HAVE A FUKING BUTTERFLY?! GIVE ME STRENGTH....

Promoting a decent wage, rather than government gimmicks, would be a better option for you.

I think money is a better support symbol, the nhs probably agrees

How about supporting them via pay rises?

How about a pay rise instead? I think that’d be more appreciated.

Any chance of the BBC holding the government to account rather than this ridiculous bullshit

Or they could just give them the pay rise they deserve 🤷‍♀️

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 This is my suggestion👍 Not for the healthcare workers who actually do something... ...for the Bureaucrats and Social Engineers who are running this S***show. PPE contracts Matt's pal who works at his pub💰☠🤮

Elon musk was right, these vaccines turn you into a butterfly 🦋

nhs want fair pay not a butterfly

Sounds great, who needs a pay rise or free parking at work! 👍🏽

Because they only have a short lifespan, like us humans at the hands of the NHS right now.

How about a call for money

clappingdoesntpayourbills butterflieswontpaynhsstaff

For heavens sake , will you just for once do an in depth report on how badly funded the NHS has been for a decade or is that not part of your Tory supporting manifesto ! Also report on how badly paid the workers are , f**k your butterfly 🦋

How about we give them a pay rise?

Could just try paying them more

Maybe they could just pay money to the people literally keeping the country alive? Just a thought. Or maybe the NHS should donate a few million to the Conservatives , then they might give them more money?

Yes to NHS no longer using rainbow - that's internationally recognised as representing the LGBTQ community and should stay theirs. No to butterfly. NHS doesn't need symbols. It needs the govt to stop piecemeal privatisation and start properly funding it.

WTAF 😡😡

Pay rise instead

Ohh just pay them a decent wage fgs!! As a palliative carer, the workload is immense & they don’t want rainbows & butterflies & claps, they want to feed their families & not struggle to pay rent! Yes it is that dire for many.

How about £?

Don’t care man give these heroes the salaries they deserved

More insubstantial shite, it probably comes from a good place but I’m sick of it. I don’t even want a pay rise, I just want the services to be funded properly.

Oh for heaven's sake give it a rest, why not unicorns to represent the mythical pay rise. Who is making these 'calls' anyway, otr is it just more distraction 😡😡😡😡😡

I call for pay rises.

Tosh. Payrise

Sounds like connor just trying to make a name for himself. cynical

Better idea instead of symbol why not...

Just fucking pay them properly. They’ve got a logo.

Don’t need symbols. They’re a form of misdirection from the Governments intention to sell of as much of the NHS as they can get away with under the radar.

Hold on let me fix this headline for you. CALLS FOR PROPER FUNDING OF THE NHS.

START. PAYING. NHS. STAFF. PROPERLY!

How about a pay rise instead to show support?

Tory sociopaths will soon be pulling the wings off the poor thing.

My trust already uses butterflies to identify patients with memory or cognition problems. I'd rather have a pay rise tbh. (I never saw hide nor hair of Hancock's promised badge)

Better idea: Medical staff with hands full of hard earned cash.

No pay rise to go with the ever increasing cost of living then I take it?

Or pay them a decent wage

NHS Stop Stealing other causes symbols challenge

do we really need symbols ...

That’s a funny way of spelling ‘pay rises for NHS staff’ 🤔🤔

Dead cat! Dead cat! Dead cat! Dead cat! Dead cat!! Or we could just pay them the sort of wage that is remunerate with our apparent love of them?

who care

Wanna represent funding and wages? Colour in a fiver.

Is this like imperial measures How many claps to a butterfly? How many butterflies to a rainbow? Very clever that NHS staff will no longer need money to pay for stuff, seeing as they don't get enough of it?!

How about a pay rise to be the new NHS support symbol?

What are you doing? Is this news? Or is this an attempt to engineer an emotive response?

Calls for bbc to join the call for nhspay increase

We do love a slogan on this island don't we 😂

Yeah, that's important. Ffs.

Awesome, I can pay my mortgage with pictures of butterflies, that's how that works right?

Gemma_Campbell bet you can’t wait to spend those extra butterfly’s 🙄

For the love of all that is left of what is good & decent on this PlagueIsland - GIVE THEM A BLOODY PAYRISE!! They can't eat claps, badges nor butterflies. What, is ToryScum problem? Quick enough to give BILLIONS in corrupt contracts to cronies..Makes me SOOO angry!!🤬🤯🚮

Who is calling for this

I am calling for Pay Rise

“Call” Only one call? Not “calls” or “study suggests”?

Give them moneyyyy

Why not pay NHS workers more instead of throwing another bloody useless symbol at them?

Calls for NHS workers to get a well deserved pay rise 🤷🏽‍♀️

If we’re talking about symbols, how about some actual collective mourning after 130,000 people have died?

Nobody wants this

Butterflies are used in some NHS organisations as an end of life symbol.

The butterfly is already a thing in the NHS. People who are admitted and need extra support (learning disabilities, dementia etc). Just let the NHS use their own logo. Stop forcing things and stealing from other places!!

Fuck off - pay them properly

Yeh! Symbols! Yippee!

NHS workers: please give us better pay better work conditions Britain: How about an empty gesture? :)))

Fuckin raise their wages ya wankers

And those butterflies could be out in the windows of the cars that could park free, like for say, I don't know, doctors nurses, staff! And then give those owners a pay rise!

Can they pay their car parking fees with this new butterfly? Is this new butterfly being manufactured by a tory donor?

'Call for butterflies' should be, 'One man suggests an idea.'

The absolute state of this country.

No pay raise, nor stop of deportations of migrant nurses and dorctors, nor any sort of legislation to help slow the spread of covid putting all these medical staff's lives at risk?

PAYRISE. NOW.

Can the NHS workers pay their bills with butterflies?

Minh rat ghet su gia doi, vui ve hay dua nhung trong tinh yeu minh chan that

To represent their funding fluttering off to the private medical providers?

Anything but a fucking payrise

How about a fucking pay rise rather than more useless shit to ‘thank’ and ‘support’ them

Think they would rather have a well earned pay rise tbh!!! payrisenotbutterflies

Or just pay them more for literally saving our lives

sergiomutty Grman_cortez lanmi_miami AlexJones420xxx TommyWoodxxxfan KEEP OFF 👿 MY PETITE AMERICAN SWEETHEART ❤️. WHY DON'T YOU FIND A SINGLE GIRL 👿

Fantastic news. Should fix everything.

Worse than Pravda you lot

Monarch butterflies? Lol

Cool, but what of the ££££?

C’mon, just give them a pay rise 👍

Why does it need a symbol?,are people that bored?......

Butterflies or a pay rise? Tricky, tricky choice

I think a pay rise would be better

Fucking give them a payrise!!! FFS

Or, hear me out, maybe we could give the NHS proper funding?

Or just pay us a fair wage? Fuck...

Yeah because that’s really going to be worth something to the thousands of exhausted and traumatised NHS staff when this is all sorta over with (if there really will be an end, as Covid-19 is an endemic disease now)

Or we could fund them properly, not sell off parts of it to America and pay the staff a better wage.

PAY THEM YOU PRICKS

NHS hell bent on the appropriation of all our symbols, whilst letting us down big

can we have a payrise instead. cheers

just give them some fucking money?

Yes the 🌈 is for LGBT representation and the breeders have tried to steal it away from us

Or they could be properly funded by the government and given a pay rise 🤔

The NHS logo is blue and white and says NHS. Just because they are dealing with covid they don't need 20 different symbols to represent them....

who gives a sh*t, pay our healthcare workers properly

milliepod

🖕🖕

money would be better

No thanks 👎 We need funding 💖

I love the rainbow x

How about funding for the NHS, good IT infrastructure, proper staffing, free milk+coffee+tea, respect, kindness, etc🙂 PS: some butterflies live for only 10-14 days and are very fragile, I would prefer being a Pangolin.

Doesnt dementia support use a butterfly to denote patients needing extra support?

How about we support the NHS by not quietly selling it off to America?

Does it even have to be organic? What about an iconic bleep, or a knackered fax machine? An acknowledgement that the NHS is the only organisation in the country keeping those two technologies from slipping into antiquity

I call for a pay rise

How about instead of a new symbol we make sure it’s properly funded and resourced and the staff are given the pay and support they need?

The real support the NHS and key workers need are better pay and working conditions. Not a flippin symbol!!!

Money is the support the NHS needs

All places I’ve worked in this is the symbol that a patient is at end of life. So yes, an apt symbol for the NHS under the Conservative Party 🦋

Who bloody cares

No. Pay rises should be the new symbol 10DowningStreet BorisJohnson MattHancock !

NHS have an atrociously awful procurement team/process, some suppliers sell their wares at twice the price to NHS compared to other private businesses!? No decent due diligence is ever carried out either, £millions could be saved, if were investigated!! 😠

All this malarkey on badges, rainbows, butterflies etc. should all be scrapped as a waste of money and this is an example of how public-funded organisations are always awash with money with little accountability of how it’s spent

I support with my TAX and NI like our Army Police and Fire Service.

Why though? We don’t need a symbol.

Pay the NHS a proper wage & dont sell it to USA. Butterflies only live for a couple of weeks what are you trying to say?

To underline the ephemereal unreliability of the NHS ? Worst symbol ever if you want a nation to think you reliable. I’m amazed anyone could come up with this logo except as a joke.

Who, exactly, is calling for this? Why not just pay the NHS staff what they deserve?

Breaking news: This isn't a news story. You went to journalism school to report the news not act as a government mouthpiece or disseminate fluffy, feel-good irrelevance to an audience knocked out loaded on Soma.

I have a phobia about butterflies can’t stand looking at them

Nope!

No! Johnson's government should save the money from paying yet more advertising businesses to create an unnecessary faux 'brand', representing NHS as fragile and short-lived, would be better spent on payrises 😠

‘£’ should be the support symbol.

So we go from one appropriated image to another, and none of it actually providing any of the actual support the NHS needs either. This country, I stg

A beautiful, fragile insect with a vital ecological function and a lifespan measured in days. Seems apt.

I’ll correct that for you. Calls for all NHS staff & frontline care workers to get a proper pay rise.

How will they invite people to the Lepidopterophobia clinic?

Why do they need a symbol? Surely there are easier ways to show support, like actually supporting them, than having yet another costly mindless campaign to change something and achieves nothing.

Call For NHS Privatisation To Be Ended, For Tax Haven Loopholes To Be Closed, For NHS To Be Fully Funded Once Again

If you've had the white cabbage butterfly swarming around your brassica, that would be somewhat of a trauma inducing symbol. 😆

Oh god how POINTLESS. How about just throwing government-dispensed pots of cash at NHS workers as they come home exhausted from an 18 hour shift

Pay them properly. Support them properly. Not this fluffy nonsense.

What nonsensical shyte.

Calls for policies that will enable the NHS to fill the gap of 40k Nurses and 10k Doctors. It's me, I'm calling.

Butterflies are nice but the rainbows drawn by children should continue to be the symbol of the spirit of hope for a bright future because it was a spontaneous expression that collectively arose in the people.

This one's more appropriate.

Seriously? Clapping, and now sodding butterflies? Have you even the first idea how utterly lame and empty this is?

Too late!! Just painted some sunshine on today!

What does that even mean? Support symbol? Do you know what’s great support? Appropriate pay and conditions.

Call for NHS to stop killing people......

This would be more appropriate.

Excuse my language, but what a load of old b*llocks! This is while they sell off GP surgeries to American companies..

We should not need an NHS support symbol. It should have been funded properly for the last 10 - 15 years. Please report on that.

How about supporting them with actual support? A novel idea I know.

This doctor wants FUNDING to be the new NHS support symbol, not butterflies in February

It has a perfectly fine logo already. Butterflies mean stillbirths in maternity, and we all wear our rainbow badges and lanyards for LGBT+ solidarity We don’t need infantile support symbols. We need proper funding.

Or, and here's an idea, give them a pay rise and stop selling it off to american insurance companies. What are you, 7? Patronizing, government approved guff.

Read it. Its a nice idea and concept.

How about staff getting a pay rise or some danger money instead?

How about we invest in smart IT platforms and centralise databases removing 10,000s of middle management spreadsheets and admin. Unions won't like it but it needs to happen.

How about a pay rise instead?

In our ICU the butterfly picture is placed on the door of the room of the end of life care patients......seems apt

Actually if you got your thumbs out of your asses you'd easily see that there is a call for it to be properly funded and not given to private contracts.

Yes.

JUST PAY THEM A DECENT WAGE

W H Y

How about a decent wage as an NHS support symbol?

Boring. Give them a crocodile or something cool. Or alternatively, a pay rise

The butterfly is the symbol for ThyroidTrust thyroid disease but I will gladly share it with our fantastic NHSMillion as they saved my life at birth diagnosing my thyroid illness fightthyroidism NHSEngland britishthyroid StMarysGenHosp

If prefer a unicorn that pisses champagne; just as likely as a pay rise or decent treatment from this govt. so an ideal emblem.

Are butterflies and applause legal tender? Can people pay their bills with them? I've got a crazy leftfield idea about NHS support - decent pay and protect the NHS itself from the predations of Conservatives and their cronies? How about rein in tax evasion and FUND it properly

Sod off

Just don’t punitively tax me for coming to work and I’m good.

Could there be a bigger call for pay rises to be the support symbol

No get rid. stop using symbols to make yourself feel better

So cute

I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. It’s was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life. SamuelEddy_

Forget symbols give them a bloody pay rise.

More bullshit!!!!

Until 2020 people did nothing but moan about NHS waiting times, doctors talked of strikes over long hours and the government froze nurses' pay for years. And nobody celebrated the NHS's 75th anniversary. Yet now everyone wants to be seen clapping for their 'heroes'. Hypocrites.

do your job. Here's a hint, this isn't it

There you go...... 111 genders for you to support. DefundTheBBC

More gimmicks.. more money wasted! Fair Pay...

Yup totally agree was confused by the rainbow 🌈 duh that lgbt Maybe angel with wings and in blue

No. Create your own bespoke emblem. I want butterflies in my garden without anyone thinking they are there in support of the NHS. NHS staff are not special, they do a job and get paid for it just like any other worker.

Flips sake, we don’t need butterflies, rainbows or claps. JUST FAIR PAY FOR NHS STAFF!!

Next dory donor need to make some money?

Why ?

Having read the article this call seems to be from just one person

Why not just give them a pay rise?

Get 7% double 5 times of your money invested. Ask me how.

Fragile and short life span. Must be a better idea out there?

I would rather the service was properly funded and the profit motive from US healthcare companies removed.

Do butterflies pay bills better than claps then? I'm sure the NHS staff will be THRILLED FuckTheTories TheToriesHaveFailedTheUK

Some symbols already used in different hospitals & Trusts, we BHRUT_NHS use butterfly 🦋 for dementia

Any thoughts on the tens of thousands protesting against lockdown in central London right now? Thought not.....

nature butterflys are lovely so would be great symbol

The NHS blue and white logo is its symbol. We don’t need more bloody symbols! It needs relief for its staff, financial restructuring, funding in the right parts. Staff need respectable pay awards and grading, services like IT need better infer structure - I could go on

But that is the symbol for the Butterfly 🦋 Thyroid Cancer Trust. butterflythyroidcancertrust

A better 'Support Symbol' would be to stop voting for ToryScum that want to dismantle the NHS & sell it off to their cronies!!

Or just fund the nhs and pay the health workers properly. As Jesus and Marie Antoinette said: folk cannot live by rainbows alone. Let them eat butterflies. Or something like that.

So something something butterflies and then waiting times will speed up, staff get paid better and GPs stop fobbing patients off with their Byzantine eConsult service? Is that how it works?

Banal fripperies. Why is this even news? Some nobody thought “duhh I loike buhhaflies i do” so it has to be a newsworthy event?

How about making a proper wage the NHS support symbol? Just a thought.

Shouldn't it be a money tree.

As well intentioned as it no doubt is, I imagine this will fall as flat as attempts to revive clapping. It all worked with the general. Old last year when lockdowns were all new and the weather raised spirits - it’s just a long hard slog to the end now.

Call for a pay rise too 🙄

Why? The rainbow 🌈 is fine

Give it up. You can shove your butterflies.

Keep the rainbow, take it back from the perverted.

The lgbt nutters think they own the rainbow and will be angry if you touch it. There will be handbags at dawn.

With rainbow wings , keep the clap too every Thursday

We need neither, plain old NHS logo says it all with the ideology behind it, lets focus on working to clear the backlog

Has the account been hacked this morning All your posting is other people’s news Are there no journalists left at the

ANOTHER empty gesture.

Fu€k off!🤨

We have lovely thank you posters on our walls on the maternity/Labour wards already....the butterfly though is a long-standing symbol we use to put on the door of someone who has had a loss as a heads up to staff. Not sure butterflies on the walls as would work :/

Got to be face masks surely?

How about thank you for the government

A symbol of the metamorphosis into a fully privatised system?

good grief. The Butterfly is already used by hundreds of hospitals for various reasons, but mainly................

DEFUND THE BBC and give that money to our NHS

bbcnews - getting to the heart of the real issues BrokenMedia

Is that to represent agency staff who flit from one hospital to another 😷

We all know whose symbol that is...

Or jump to the future and make an American ‘kerching’ till ringing noise

why not symbol the NHS letters and make it symbolize like N=children like new, H=adult to watch both over, S=elderly that in worst health.

Good idea. Rainbows are used a lot, butterflies are an excellent alternative - and can be rainbow coloured. 🌈

The NSH are doing their jobs - what they're trained and paid for. They knew the salary, pros & cons before they started their careers.

And no doubt this logo change will go to a private (tory) marketing company, cost ££ MILLIONS ££ to rebrand, and we'll end up with nothing left for the people who work at the NHS.

Who’s calling?

It should be a cancer patient bent over a table with a laughing matt Hancock behind them!

Glad we’re focusing on the important things. Maybe we could fund the NHS on social media “likes”? Or improve it by doing TikTok videos. Meanwhile in the real world...

I wish the NHS very much money. Instead of fucking symbols.

Choose one that’s extinct ,because that’s the way nhs is heading under this banana bunch

And in other news ... 🙄

fantastic

Just spend the money on patients, equipment, procedures & staff not silly symbols & branding. It's not a business its a health service

What a load of bollocks, just pay us fairly

Pay rise pls

How about we scrap these cultist NHS symbols all together 👍🏻

I'm calling for the new symbol to be a elephant. Will you please do a non-news story about that so you don't have enough time to do real investigative reporting.

We already use the butterfly symbol in the NHS for a different reason, it’s called The Butterfly Scheme - a butterfly beside a patient’s name indicates they have diagnosed dementia or memory impairment

No thanks! I'm sick to the back teeth if all these eulogies to the NHS . Time it started working again.

Thanks again. 💙

Butterflies are a much better idea than rainbows, because the rainbow has been hijacked for other causes. It is best not to mix up the two...

More virtue signaling garbage.

oh good grief why not just leave butterflies alone

Oh ffs grow up people

Lovely idea 🦋

Maybe an extra £350 million cash each week could be the new support symbol. Maybe take it out of the pockets of the morons who ruined the country voting for that most obvious of lies.

Stop deciding what fucking pictures to symbolise us... leave us alone and let us work... stop using our acronyms and stop asking us questions 😂 be quiet we’re busy!

'Calls'? One individual, ONE INDIVIDUAL!!? Who is Connor Elliott, and what is his agenda? And why is the BBC promoting One person's 'call' for a butterfly?

Here's a more interesting NHS story you seem to be ignoring.

How about a unicorn, cos like a working NHS, it doesn’t exist!

Here’s an idea ... forget symbolic rubbish and make adequate wages the support the staff of the NHS and carers need. This is nothing but the next ‘clap on the doorstep’ distraction BS. Probably cooked up by the government to distract from real issues. Makes me sick.

Sod butterflies and rainbows just pay them properly and get that twat Hancock to remove that badge it's an insult

Yeah, thanks for doing your jobs✌

That'll please the Trans Community

Or a pay rise

Mass media hiding the fact that six million swedes have died from Covid-19 as a direct result of their government not locking the country down. Entire cities practically depopulated. Trains transporting thousands of corpses to the north of the country. Pray4Sweden BigLockdown

Airborne creatures are a bad idea.

Maybe some music

Yes the butterfly should, the rainbow🌈 has always been our representation in the LGBT community for decades, it was very odd last year when people started associating the rainbow with the NHS. Rainbow represents LGBT through and through🌈🌈🌈

At risk species so yes, probably

How many butterflies does it cost to buy a MRI scanner?

Can have a huge impact? What kind of non news useless shit is this article

Nothing tondo with LGBT before anyone says.

Something wrong with the Rainbow?

Why

Hope the effect won’t cause chaos..?

How about we just trash the rainbows and butterflies and just give these people the pay rises they deserve?

Pay them more. Offer more mental health services. Parking on site. Stop this shallow crap you fucking weirdos.
