Fury after 'F**k the NHS' handwritten poster spotted in car window

A motorist who displayed a hand-drawn poster reading "f**k the NHS" in his car window has sparked outrage.

The message was spotted by a woman in the Home Bargains car park in Mold, Wales when she went shopping at about 4.30pm on Saturday.

She photographed the sign, which was taped inside one of the car's rear windows and said: "F**k the NHS. They get paid to save our lives. We don't get paid to save there lives."

Speaking to North Wales Live, the woman, who asked not to be named, said: "I was shocked and appalled someone could be so disrespectful towards the NHS and all they are doing.

"Not just during Covid-19 but every day. I think they are doing a fantastic job and really are true heroes.  "

The images were later shared on Facebook  and quickly sparked fury across the region.

The woman's Facebook post read: "Not often things annoy me, but this got me angry.

"Firstly, you used the wrong 'there' it should be 'their lives'.

"Secondly, I'm pretty sure one day in your life mate you'll end up in hospital [...] Maybe then you can witness the fantastic hard work of all staff in the NHS, those on the front line, and all they do to save lives each day and realise, they really don't get paid enough for what they do, nor enough credit."

Some of the hundreds of comments on the post included: "What goes around comes around [...] This person will learn an important lesson when they need the help of the NHS. Think on this, whoever you are."

Another person said: "They do get paid...but they don't get paid enough for what they have to do."

An angry reader said: "Disgusting, absolute moron, NHS is something we are all so fortunate to have."
