I am so very fed up of all the lies and gaslighting that have been flowing on a river of effluence out of this government on a daily basis for 12 years now. The river has now turned into a flood as the Tories loose 82 years of pent-up hatred of the NHS. 𧡠/1
They have been steadily defunding it since 2010 and now they have almost succeeded in breaking it. Right-wing media calling for "change" (that's code for "fully privatise") and nurses and paramedics being demonized. /2
Every time you hear a Tory MP (or see a tweet from one) saying that "something" has to be done and talk about "charges" remember this: they, with their Β£millions, will not be the ones who suffer because they can't pay for medicines or treatment they or their family needs. /3
It will be all of *us*. Β£50 to see a GP? How many can afford that? "Affordable" medical insurance? Pre-existing conditions will not be covered. And good luck getting them to fork out for cancer treatment. Remember, the # 1 cause of bankruptcy in the USA is medical bills. /4
Stop letting Tories tell you nurses and paramedics are "greedy". Stop letting Tories tell you nurses and paramedics don't care. The only greedy and literally careless ones are the Tories sitting in government & their donors, laughing all the way to the bank. /5
I have spent my whole life with #OurNHS taking care of me and my family. It has quite literally saved my life, my mother's life, both my nephews lives. It has cared for all of us, treated all of us, been there for all of us. /6
I'm guessing the majority of people reading this in the UK have never been without the NHS - free at point of use, remember - and cannot truly imagine what it would be like for it *not* to be there. /7
One thing you can be sure of, the liars and truth-twisters do not have *your* well-being in mind. Don't let them convince you otherwise.
The Tories want to destroy the NHS before they are justifiably thrown out of office by the electorate. Don't let them. /8

Write to your MP, whatever party they belong to. Tell them to fight this tooth and nail. Write to the newspapers, comment on stories in the media. Call out the lies wherever you see or hear them.
