This was the weirdest thing. It was 'clap for carers is back, this time as clap for heroes'. What it should have been is 'person on twitter posts something saying we should clap'. Or actually 'here is the weather' because how the fuck is a single tweet from a member of the public headline fucking news?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this person responsible for the original clap for carers too? It's just last time the government latched onto it to cover up for their monumental cock up in providing PPE for frontline staff, which was breaking in the news at the time.
And the nation gobbled it up, banging their pans and, in my area at least, even setting off fireworks every Thursday as thanks, yet not a peep to be heard about how the Tories let down the NHS during the worst pandemic in living memory.
