No fan of the Conservatives by any stretch but something like this is badly needed.

A lot of people absolutely milking the system and the rest of us is paying for it.

Absolutely. Now just go after his mates that are fleecing billions as well.

How about asking why are we all so sick?

Sounds a bit Joe Rogan tbh.

Just under half of all illnesses treated on the NHS are related to poor lifestyle. That's 10s of billions per annum. Based on the characters I see in A&E or standing smoking outside the hospitals I'd suspect a large proportion of that cohort contribute little in the way of taxes to support the NHS. But we aren't allowed to mention it.

The NHS was never envisaged to deal with the levels of chronic disease we currently see. T2D, Cardiovascular disease, various cancers all on the up. All the polititions can offer is we need more money for doctors and nurses. How about asking why are we all so sick?

We are all old. With advanced age comes more illness. The population is aging. By 2037 1 in 12 people will be over 65.

That actually seems low. In the republic 15.5% are over 65 that is about one in 6.5

Yeah we are all going to die at some stage no dodging that but I do not agree that we have to accept the largely self inflicted chronic diseases so many are inflicted with. None of
this helped by the scientifically baseless health messaging we have been duped with for the last 50 years.

I shouldn't but go on. Humour me.

Like this is funny??
Let's go with this one. A mate just turned 60, T2D for 10 years treated with all the standard drug protocols. Carrying too much weight,has nasty foot ulcer for over 12 months, diabetic retinopathy requiring injections into his eyeballs, regularly shits himself and now on insulin like a T1.
He hangs on every word of his dietitian with the healthy whole grains and low saturated fat, 5 a day, healthy cooking oils crap. All the while steadily declining.
Someone who is severely insulin resistant(carbohydrate intolerant) eating loads of carbs. In what universe does that make sense.
Won't listen to a word I say regardless of me showing him evidence of 100s of people just like him resolving their symptoms by drastically reducing the carbs in their diet.
Adamant he's going to listen to the doctors and nurses, they know best after all. And he's married to a nurse!
Sorry couldn't find any humour in this sad tale.
