I'm with BT mate and yes they are not perfect but I believe the competition are no better. I am quite undecided about whether to switch to Virgin when it's wired up to my street next year, having heard dire reports about them! Still those plans may yet be scuppered by catweasel, we shall see.

I was with Virgin until I had to leave as they overloaded our network area and absolutely killed our speeds, moved to BT and it's been a lot better, though not perfect

All these progressive policies need at least two terms to come to fruition.

Do the people have enough faith to enable that or just follow blindly what the vested interests tell them to?

I would not give Labour two prawn crackers, let alone two terms of destroying our country.

Taking over Openreach would properly fuck over it's shareholders. They wouldn't get anywhere near the true value of their shares in compensation.

Now for some on here that probably sounds like a great idea as to them all shareholders are evil money grabbing bastards.

Of course, some of the shareholders will be pension funds so that means many people's pensions will also suffer if this crackpot idea comes to fruition.

Sooo they're ripping people off so that they can provide those that are lucky enough to have a private pension a fat return ?
 
I'm looking forward to the free Ferarris Labour are going to be offering next week, just hope they're not all red.

Who is ripping who off?

"What do we want?"

"Free broadband"

"When do we want it?"

"Now and under a socialist labour government that takes back ownership of all privately held assets for the greater good of all including your pension you rich Tory twats"
 
I spotted this too - the man can't even lie straight in bed

Boris’s most surprising fail in an extensive BBC broadcast round this morning: thinking the proportion of EU and non-EU net immigration is 50/50. It’s not, and hasn’t been for some years. Actually 20/80 (EU 59,000, non-EU 219,000).

I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at here but if it's trying to say that people who have private pensions are all loaded you couldn't be more wrong.

Lucky ?
Do you not put a small amount of your earnings each month into a private pension?

I am fortunate enough to have always been in a pensionable job so I am not entirely certain but I thought with the introduction of the workplace pension legislation people at work did do that - they only way to avoid it would be he/she would have to opt out? Am I right? If so its not lucky to have one but pretty bleedin' stupid to chose not to have one?
 
Just more bollocks - £500m wouldn't reverse the Beeching cuts - look at the cost of HS2 - this might get you a cutting and a small branch line in the Home Counties - not even coming up with decent lies now

Reversing Beeching rail cuts would cost 'far more' than £500m

PA MediaCopyright: PA Media
Earlier today when answering questions from the public, the prime minister said that the Tories would invest £500m to reverse the cuts to railway lines and stations made in the 1960s.

More than 5,000 miles of track and nearly 1,500 stations closed between 1964 and 1970, after a report by British Railways chairman Richard Beeching.

But rail experts say that the money is not enough to restore services to all the places cut off by those cuts.

"It is not going to buy you very much railway. A rebuilt railway costs millions for each kilometre," says Sim Harris, managing editor of industry newspaper Railnews.

"It would cost far more than that to really reverse Beeching."

The Conservatives say that among the possible locations for new or reopened lines are Ashington, Seaton Delaval and Blyth in Northumberland; Skelmersdale in Lancashire; Thornton-Cleveleys and Fleetwood in Lancashire; and Willenhall and Darlaston in the West Midlands.

But the party has not provided any more details on how it would fund a reversal of the Beeching cuts.

It must be, its been said all day long?

£156 Billion.

30p of every £1 spent goes on the NHS.

The graph above shows the increase in spending since the 90's.

Money alone will not fix the issues the NHS has going into the coming years.

Love it Len.

Same old mistakes as in the EU ref campaign being made time and time again.

Hate to break it to you but no one really gives a fuck what you think, even less so when its to tell someone that to vote conservative it means you're a racist.

Enjoy the majority Tory government and the brexit it will deliver wont you :-)
