Summary
This really has to be seen to be believed. During the referendum campaign, the Vote Leave campaign released a video about how the NHS was in chaos, but how it would be idyllic when Brexit happened. The people who staffed the Vote Leave campaign are the wing of the Tories who've run the country for years - and now the NHS is on the brink of collapse, with Britain now suffering a humanitarian catastrophe. This is the truth about what's happened - and this doesn't make your blood doesn't boil, then nothing will.

| 0:00.0 | So, a little warning here, I'm doing a bit of due diligence, if you like. |
| 0:04.0 | If you're having a bad day, if your blood pressure is feeling a little bit high, |
| 0:07.6 | that it's probably not a good idea if you've watched this video. What I'm about to show you |
| 0:11.5 | is just one very striking example of the deceit and the con artistry with catastrophic |
| 0:19.6 | human consequences, which has come not just to scar British politics, but actually to define it. |
| 0:25.6 | Now, this is a video from the referendum campaign of 2016. |
| 0:30.3 | It was issued by vote leave. And what it does is contrast the terrible state of the NHS |
| 0:36.5 | while we're in the EU and how idyllic the NHS will look once Britain leaves the EU. |
| 0:43.4 | Now, if it sounds beyond belief given the current state of the National Health Service, |
| 0:48.5 | then that's because it is. Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to play this video, |
| 0:54.5 | I hope that you don't, I don't know, throw yourself out of a window with a moment of blind |
| 0:59.0 | theory. And then I'm going to talk about the horrific reality under Tory rule that the NHS is |
| 1:06.1 | currently in, because what we are talking about is a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in this |
| 1:13.3 | country, not an exaggeration, and I'll explain why once I've played this nauseating video. |
| 1:19.7 | Okay, so I appreciate that if you're listening on the podcast, you can't actually see the video. |
| 1:23.6 | So the video I'm discussing is a vote leave video. And it's split down the middle. |
| 1:28.8 | And on the left, it shows an elderly woman being helped by a younger woman through the NHS |
| 1:34.8 | inside the EU, where it's totally overcrowded, where she has to wait for throughout the whole |
| 1:39.6 | video. She can't get treatment because the hospital's overcrowded and there isn't enough staff. |
| 1:45.1 | And then the second half on the right side of the split screen, |
| 1:50.4 | it shows Britain outside of the EU, and it shows the woman being very quickly treated and all |
