NHS worker 'called an a**wiper by neighbours flouting coronavirus lockdown rules'

A NHS worker says she was called an 'a**wiper' by neighbours she confronted for flouting lockdown rules by jogging together in a group.

Lisa Anderson has accused them of giving the NHS a 'big f*** you' saying she saw them doing a mass 10 laps around her the block on Sunday.

She said it was the first time she had seen them do a group jog in the 15 months she was living at her address in Conwy, north Wales.

When Lisa approached them to say it was against the government's lockdown advice she claims she was 'viciously attacked' and told she 'should have moved out by now'.

Despite risking her life daily as an NHS associate practitioner on a 'Covid 19 positive ward', Lisa claims she was told she was not a real nurse and was instead branded an 'as-wiper'.

Lisa is accusing her neighbours of being 'hypocrites' as they all joined in the weekly Clap for Carers but failed to take heed of the social distancing parameters designed to help the NHS.

The mother publicly shamed the group online and asked her neighbours if they would feed her children if she died or stand by her grave and 'have the f***ing guts then to call me a f***ing a***wiper'.

Lisa finished her rant by saying she prayed they would never need 'an a*** wiper' and they had no idea what nursing staff go through 'in the face of daily routine nevermind a global pandemic'.

Lisa wrote: "Tonight, respect for the NHS got a big "f*** you" from my neighbourhood.

"Never in the 15 months I've lived here, have I witnessed multiple of my neighbours doing a mass 10 laps around the block.

"However, when I confronted them about the fact that this was against official government advice, and the fact of the horrors I see from Covid 19, I was told the following... 'I'm not a nurse, I'm an ae wiper, and I should have moved out by now'.

"So thanks for the community spirit and the round of applause every week you f*ing hypocrites.

"And just in case it isn't clear enough, I'll be knocking on each and every 1 of your doors tomorrow to give you a de-brief of my position as a nurse or an ae wiper (actually an associate Practitioner) within the NHS, and what I witness daily now, just in case you think this is all "fake news". Seen as some of you are on my so called "friends" list.

Lisa vented her anger on Facebook (Kennedy News & Media)

"While I'm out risking my life on a Covid 19 positive ward, you all think it's funny and now is the appropriate time to take up "community exercise" while I've watched you all pop to each others houses all day

"So I'd like to know...are you going to come and feed my children, if/ when I'm dead?

"Are you all going to invest in their future like I will? Or are you going to stand by my grave and have the fing guts then to call me a fing arse wiper?

"It's because of people like you, that I'm seeing what I see every time I go to work. It's because of people like you, that the nation needs officially locking down, because this all seems to be a joke.

"If only you all knew the true horrors of this virus. One patient told me 'it's like the devil is in me'.

"So, to all my neighbours that have viciously attacked me tonight, for pulling them up on their new found community exercise. God help you if you ever get it.

"I pray you never need a "nurse or an ae wiper". None of you have a f*ing clue of what any nursing staff, at any level, go through in the face of daily routine nevermind a global pandemic.

"Roll on Thursday night when you're all out clapping for the NHS you bunch of hypocrites."

In response to her post, many people said you 'can't fix stupid' and that these people were 'showing their true colours'.

One person commented: "I'm pretty sure they will change their tune when their[sic] admitted to hospital and your[sic] the one keeping them alive."

Another said the government should ban exercise as people were 'taking the p**s' and going on 'several strolls a day for their newfound love of the outdoors'.
