Is there no end to this guy's attention seeking. He wants us all to sing Happy Birthday to the Queen from our doorsteps at 9am tomorrow apparently.Well I for one won't be doing what HE asks for.

Yep think it was Ben Fogle and to be fair This Morning viewers are exactly the sort who'll lap this up so he's just playing to his audience.
The Loose Women viewers need a bit of warm up TV ahead of the main event and Phil and Holly are just the ticket

Yes. Which again was (he says) something his 9-year-old daughter had suggested.
Seems more like the OP has got a bit of a thing about Phillip Schofield.

21st is my eldests birthday so if you could all replace “your Majesty” with “Sara” I’m sure she’ll be thrilled.
We always know the Queens age as Sara was born on her 50th. A sum even I’m capable of doing.

I don't have a problem with Schofield, I think he's okay, but I am a lifelong anti-royalist and for certain won't be singing anything. Still wondering how Charlie boy got tested when he had mild symptons when everyone else is just told to stay at home and get through it. A bit like the royals clearing off to their country retreat when everyone else is told to stay put. Or Boris clearing off from London to Chequers. Sorry folks, we are NOT all inthis together, most of us are but not some it seems. As Orwell said so famously in Animal Farm 'all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others'.

Personally I think the whole Royal family should be put on furlough with a maximum payment of £2500/month, I'm sure they can afford it, as last year according to Forbes they are worth around $88 billion. Maybe they could even donate a few million to the NHS!

Same as a lot of people I would think paid a private/doctor clinic for it much like many football teams did if they had played Arsenal or Forest or any teams that had like Portsmouth - if you have been in contact with someone who had the virus you got tested and the quickest way then, if you had no visible symptoms, was to go private. Privelged to have the money? yes but no point singling a handful out when thousands have done it

It doesn't matter if it's 1 or 1,000, if there is a shortage of testing kits then money should not matter. But take your point.

The NHS have experienced a shortage of high quality testing kits, those that are the most reliable and they trust - who is to say that people have been paying for that, the government has repeatedly said it has turned down kits that are readily available but not reliable/trusted enough - for some this may offer welcome schadenfreude

I'm grateful that all the 'clap for these people, clap for those people' haven't gained traction.
Last night's applause for the NHS was fantastic in Fleetwood, possibly the loudest yet... but it works because it's something special.
Do it all the time and it means nothing... especially for the Queen's bloody birthday. I couldn't tell you when her birthday is or how old she will be... I didn't care before, and I still don't now - I'm lost as to how it's a thing.
