There's some irony in doing so through Virgin Money.
Virgin is seeking to privatize the NHS, and the group has Virgin Care, which is one of the largest private care providers contracted by the NHS. Naturally, Virgin Care pays no corporation tax -- Richard Branson has an allergy to tax, and doctors and politicians have so far not found a cure.

The idea the what should be properly funded by taxes has to be propped up by charitable donations is abhorrent.
Vote Labour next election and fund the public sector properly!

Sigh. That time came 5 months ago and is now gone until the next 5 years. In the mean time perhaps you can play your part in donating in someway or even somewhere else instead of complaining.

Definitely! Also, just being a bit more diligent around social distancing and washing your hands can help :)

Using the word "Sigh" online is a surefire way to start an argument. It is a passive aggressive put down and exceedingly rude.
Anyway pointing out the insanity of this situation is not complaining.

#9The NHS needs funding, not our "thanks".
The Government's current drive to propagandise their ongoing failure to fund essential public service should not be tolerated.
(For those who are unaware, in the UK we are currently being asked by the powers that be to take part in a "clapping session" on the streets weekly).

It feels like a proto-dictatorship move to ask people to worship an arm of the government, instead of seeing it for what it is: a provider of a service that needs proper funding and management.
There are definitely people in health services that deserve praise, but praising the institution in this way is a bit different...
