Tbh I’m quite proud of the fact that I have no interest in politics,I don’t get drawn into arguments about it as I don’t know one politican from another unless they are blatantly obvious
I agree that politics shouldn't come into it Chalky. But the reality is that it does.

If the Conservatives keep reducing NHS funding, with the ultimate objective being to reduce the amount of tax the wealthy pay and make everyone pay privately for health care, should we just collectively shrug our shoulders and accept it, even though many of us, like you, have paid National Insurance for 40 years.

Should we all just bury our heads in the sand and say I have no interest in politics, they are all the same so f**k it I won't bother voting.

Voting gives you the power to decide how the UK is run. The MPs you help to elect will be making decisions on issues that you care about, such as the NHS.

An election is your chance to speak out if you have a complaint about the way the country is being run.

If you don’t vote, you’ll have had no say over who will be making decisions on issues that are important to you.

Over the years many campaigners have sacrificed their lives to win the right to vote. It is disrespectful to them to waste your vote.

If you don't care about the state of the NHS, just continue the way you are and watch it disappear.

If you do care, open your eyes and ears, start talking and listening to people who use, or work in, the NHS and ask them what they think about how it is being run.

After listening, get off your arse and head to the Polling Station next chance you get.

People like you can change things for the better, but only if you vote!
