You'd agree with a Labour initiative to shoot all children under 3 on the basis it would reduce childcare costs.Comment from BT via Skynews.
BT Spokesperson: “It should be a top political priority to super-charge the roll-out of full fibre broadband and 5G right across the UK so we can build the digital economy of the future. Whatever the result of the election, we’d encourage the next Government to work with all parts of the industry to achieve that. It’s a national mission that’s bigger than any one company.”
Agree with this. Connectivity is a national necessity.
People hanker back the to good old days when the lead time for getting a phone installed was 3 months and you had to rent the phone because it broke every 3 weeks. Ah yes, nationalised bliss.
So it's 40 billion with £238 million a year to maintain it.
That works out at 42.4 billion over 10 years by my math
That's still 30 billion short of 80. Sounds like sky are pulling figures out of their arse£860M in wages a year needs to go in and that's as of now, not factoring in wage rises, increased employment as per John McDonnell this morning and it doesnt factor in the workers of other broadband providers that will go bust but that he says will all have jobs in the new company.
This money is being borrowed as well so factor in interest payments on the debt.
Its free so no income either.
That was fifty years ago, which makes it an utterly wank argument. Almost as wank as BT, in fact.People hanker back the to good old days when the lead time for getting a phone installed was 3 months and you had to rent the phone because it broke every 3 weeks. Ah yes, nationalised bliss.

At least it's only one silly comment, unlike a sea of unmitigatedly silly thinking for the misguided Labour lefties.yeah coz a nationalised BT would use 1960's technology too eh? Silly comment.
We all know about Google and Amazon, so do the Tories, if it were possible, they'd have been taxed already, everyone wants it,Its clear to most that it will never be free and cant be free.
Literally over £80 Billion of cost to nationalise and pay for wages over a 10 year period was pointed out this morning and that's before you factor in the death of many other independent providers and their jobs and all McDonnell could do was say that Google and co will be paying for it.
Come on John, its laughable.
At least it's only one silly comment, unlike a sea of unmitigatedly silly thinking for the misguided Labour lefties.
Customer service and investment when communications were nationalised (the GPO) were diabolical. That's the painful and (for you) Inconvenient truth.
And where did the money go on the proceeds of privatisation? To the government to pay for more and better public services, so that YOU didn't have to pay as much as you otherwise would have done. Everyone is a winner. But no, Labour would like to unwind that and make everyone a loser. Genius.

Costs will rise, look at HS2.
EU anti competition laws to get round as well because free broadband against paid services from competitors is against their rules.
How do Labour deliver it if they are in the EU?
This is why Corbyn and co want out of the EU and always have.
Its why those that all all for them yet want to remain are pissing in the wind.
That was fifty years ago, which makes it an utterly wank argument. Almost as wank as BT, in fact.
Fifty years ago, shops used to close on a Sunday and half day on a Wednesday, supply of many good was erratic and unreliable and the girl (as it always was a female) on the checkout had to manually enter the price of each product into the till.
Fuck me, capitalism was wank back then.
ahhh - still airing the old realities I see.

You are transparent, Bob. The next time I hear you criticise Labour, I may reconsider, but after 3 years and counting I am not expecting that any time soon.
EU state aid rules do not prevent nationalisation.Costs will rise, look at HS2.

So it's not 80 billion? Correct?
EU state aid rules do not prevent nationalisation.
Thank you.
Who knows the final figure but it isn't £20 Billion either is it?
EU anti competition laws?
How do they get round them if we are in the EU as per Labour party second ref policy or a deal they negotiate to stay in?
And there you have it. Progressive Labour thinking from the 1960's. Carry on making shit at a loss, pouring endless taxpayers money down the pan.
Arthur Scargill would be proud.
