After falling in love and escaping Auschwitz together, this couple was separated in the midst of World War II. In 1982, Cyla Cybulska was relating her past to her cleaner who then informed Cybulska she heard a man by the name of Jerzy Bielecki relating the same story on a TV channel in Poland, and helped Cybulska track him down.

In the summer of 1983, they finally met at the Krakow airport. He brought 39 red roses, one for each year they had spent apart.

Why I Can Never Respect David Cameron

Do you know what really pisses me off?

In 2009, the year before David Cameron became Prime Minister for the first time, his six-year-old son, Ivan - who suffered from epilepsy and cerebral palsy - was taken ill and tragically died. The Camerons claimed to be “hugely grateful” to the NHS care workers who helped them every day during Ivan’s life.

David and Samantha Cameron experienced the worst thing any parent could even think of going through, and the one constant that managed to help them, and their family, through it was the NHS. Knowing this, you’d have thought that Cameron would now be fighting his absolute, goddamn hardest to keep the NHS free for all and to improve it’s standards, right?

Wrong.

Now, the Conservatives want to slowly privatise the NHS because, apparently, we can’t afford to keep it free, which is a fact that I could potentially accept if I didn’t already know that the National Health Service was set up just after the Second World War, when we could most definitely “not afford it”.

The man who was responsible for the formation of the NHS was a Labour politician (make of that what you will) called Aneurin Beven who, without going into too much detail, argued that medical care should be free to all. When he was told that the formation of such a medical service would be too costly, he said that “the nation had to afford it and could afford it”, so to all the people who say that the NHS is costing us too much money, you can take that opinion and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine because you can’t tell me that our economical state is far worse than it was on the 5th July 1948, when the NHS was introduced.

What I’m trying to say is that, a man who went through Hell, a man who will forever be indebted to the NHS, a man who should be on the side of every last person who has ever needed access to free medical care, is now wanting to turn our National Health Service into a private, money-making scheme that will deprive so many people of so much that is essential to life.

I hope that makes you angry, because that makes me so bloody angry.

Get the Tories out. Now.
