Never trust a Tory!

Sorry I’ve been away for so long! I’m trying to retrain, work part-time and manage 2 chronic illnesses as well as a chronic mental illness. I barely have time or energy to shower let alone draw. I’ve also had some issues with my fancy new graphics tablet but I won’t bore you with that. It’s the UK general election tomorrow and as a disabled person I’m horrified at the prospect of the Torys getting in again. Their benefit cuts, privatized capacity to work assessments have killed hundreds of thousands of disabled people. The fact that several Tory MPs have stated that disabled people deserve to be paid less shows this is a political move targeting vulnerable people. Evidence has now been leaked that they plan to fully sell the NHS as they have been doing gradually for the last decade. Under a privatized health care system I won’t be able to afford insurance or my medication, my immune system will attack me and I will die a painful death. Please, for your future and for the future of everyone in this country, vote Labour. Their policies would improve the lives of so many people and have been all costed in their manifesto. Even if you’re not disabled keep in mind that sickness and old age comes for all of us and that having children in the hospital under a privatized system costs $10,000- $30,000. The fact that a bloody anarchist is so sick of seeing their friends suffer under this system that they’re begging you to vote is proof of how shit the Torys are. You can use this image as you please for once I don’t care about credit, print it out and share as you will. PLEASE VOTE LABOUR TOMORROW FRIENDS.

My first post! I think I drew this 5 or 6 years ago before I developed a second chronic illness that prevented me from drawing. I was having a time of it with the Tories cutting public services and vilifying disabled people. I noticed a distinct change around the time they changed the benefit system and the justification they used for it in how people treated me. Suddenly there was a new found hatred and suspicion of disabled people. As cuts become more entrenched a wave of ODs, friends being sectioned, friends developing housing problems, multiple pals being diagnosed with chronic mental illnesses and friends falling off the wagon occurred. When I drew this I didn’t yet know this would happen.

Oh yeah, I still think Cameron is a cunt.
