It’s all good and well hearing McDonnell’s plans for Nationalisation but when do I get my state flat and Trabant?
You know Trabant is German for ‘strap-on dildo’?It’s all good and well hearing McDonnell’s plans for Nationalisation but when do I get my state flat and Trabant?

...........with a two stroke engine.You know Trabant is German for ‘strap-on dildo’?
Let’s put ideology aside and imagine you’re in government with a tight budget under hundreds of competing pressures. Not an unheard of situation.
Now, rank these in priority order, bearing in mind you hope to be re-elected:
- NHS expenditure
- Social care
- Nurses’ salaries
- Preserving the value of benefits
- Uprating personal allowances and pensions in line with inflation, and
- Investing in new sewer pipes or railway signals.
Which becomes bottom of the priority list?
Repeat 10 years running.
Result: nationalised industry infrastructure is bolloxed.
That’s exactly what happened previously.
Could be a good thing but you would have to chain the unions down. Them fuckers would be walking out over tea breaks again. Some on here will remember the good old days of power cuts, 3 day weeks, strikes, no refuse collection etc etc. Took a woman to sort it out.
This is one of the biggest untruths that have ever been spread about the UK.
Even at heights in the 1970s, this country lost fewer days to strikes per population than the ultra capitalist, anti union USA. And the 3 day week was under a Tory government. Heaths incomes policy also encouraged inflation due to wage growth and was a disaster, then you had the oil crisis when the OPEC countries raised the price.
That woman took over a growing economy and ruined manufacturing and we are now seeing why it was such a fucking idiotic idea to do that. You can blame that woman for putting us in such a weak position to negotiate on Brexit, as we have fuck all industry left....thanks to her and her idiotic handbag economics.
The Labour party made some mistakes too in the 70s, with its bailouts of Chrysler, especially as British Leyland was its competitor, that was stupidity and a mistake made by one of my hero's Mr Tony Benn, but it pisses me off that its always the workers who get the blame when really it was a failure of management and a failure of government.
I would nationalise all infrastructure, all utilities and even have a nationalised investment bank. If you doubt this just ask yourself one question and its this. Why were roads never privatised? If privatisation was that good and that necessary then roads surely would be better off in the private sector. But they are not because vast swathes of the nation need roads and own cars and its vote loser.

So you’d be confident with Bozza or Jezza ultimately making the commercial and investment decisions?
