Hi I’m a dues paying member of @UKLabour & I hope to one day be a citizen so I can vote for them in a GE since they care about the NHS, social care, education & ppl w disabilities. I am almost physically sick watching smart ppl say “both sides suck.”
Glad most haven’t walked in my shoes but when I saw what Tories CHOSE to do to poor families with kids in hospital & social care as our own son was disabled & then killed by brain cancer, I grew angry & I remain angry. Tories kill, again and again, by cuts & closures.
A version of fucking Brexit has ALREADY HAPPENED to the poor, elderly & disabled in this country. Tory austerity has pissed on them, devalued their lives & left them to literally die.
I don’t want to be doing this! I’m on TV. I should be destroying my marriage with cocaine & getting caught jet-skiing in Adele’s pool. But at the exact same time I was becoming successful, God dropped me smack among some beautiful, poor, sick kids, my own little buddy included.
At the same time I saw beautiful, shining, glorious children dying in pain, I’d see their social care packages (often illegally) be cut, further ruining the parents’ already tattered lives. Austerity kills. I saw it & I’ll never forget.
I am so grateful for the GIFT of my disabled family & friends opening my eyes and heart to such beauty and strength. I will fight for them until I die and if you get in my way I will shred you, with love.
