And yet the doe-eyed public lap up the ‘blitz spirit’ pedalled by the media.
Those I know working in the NHS would rather they get paid properly and supplied proper PPE than be clapped for doing their job.
Although I actually agree with a lot of what you say here and it certainly shouldn’t be needed, I do not consider the willingness of the general public to freely donate millions ‘an embarrassment’. Neither do I believe the general public are ‘doe-eyed’ as most just want to do the right thing in a very difficult situation.
