There’s been a lot of whispers about our beloved NHS being brought to its knees and I’m worried. Very worried.

If Boris flipping Johnson gets voted in (by a whopping 0.2% of the population), him and the unstable genius across the pond are going to have a field day.

The NHS is OURS. It’s ours because we have paid for it through our taxes since 1948.

Donald Trump announced to the world that the NHS would be ‘on the table’ in any trade negotiations when the red carpet was rolled out for him last month.

That’s a service that has sod all to do with him …and what did Theresa May do?

She stood in silence. Hardly surprising. She is the leader of the party who fought every step of the way in the creation of the health service, voting against the 1948 NHS Bill 22 times.

Our health service is the perfect example of socialism in action… and socialism, for the Conservative party, is a very dirty word.

As someone who will be on treatment for the rest of my days, of course I’m terrified that our NHS could fall into private ownership.

I will struggle to get insurance as I (along with millions of others in this country) have a pre-existing medical condition.

It won’t be impossible, but it will cost me an arm and a leg. Just have a go at getting a quote with a private healthcare company now and see what happens. I can’t even get life insurance.

I feel so passionately about these issues and usually when I talk about the Labour Party – and in particular Jeremy Corbyn – I’m greeted with the usual hostility, or eye rolls, or reluctance to talk about it because people don’t like him…but they don’t actually know why.

Maybe being drip-fed negative news on a daily basis could have something to do with it? I dunno.

This government are killing us. Literally. Death by a thousand cuts. It seems to be a human trait that we only jolt into action after the event – reactive rather than proactive (see climate change).

What will it take to make us see? So let’s be proactive and boot these bas***ds to the kerb.

Paul Charlson, Chair of Conservative Health once said: "It would be political suicide for a party to introduce charging for NHS services.

"They could only really do it if there was a feeling in the country that health services were falling apart".


Jeremy Hunt, Health Secretary 2012-2018 (and co-author of a book calling for the NHS to be replaced with a private insurance based system): “Hold my beer”.

Pray for our NHS, but more importantly, shout for it, get angry about it and let your thoughts be knows.

I for one am here living and breathing, sharing my daughters life because we have a wonderful NHS that we don’t have to pay a penny for.
