Why not tackle his point rather than using whataboutism?

Why don’t people read what Labour are saying about the policy? The boost to the economy, the getting people back into work, the ability to work from home etc? Unfortunately, Labour aren’t judged the same as the Tories. If they came up with this it would be ‘oh look how many jobs it’s going to create’ etc. With a Labour it’s ‘oh, more borrowing and taxing’ etc.

A turd through your letterbox wrapped in a Labour leaflet would be the best turd you had ever seen and a clear message that Corbyn cares tbf.

keep paying your internet bill mate as it aint going to be free anytime soon.

Unfortunately I don’t think he’s offering it to Spain!

Edit: Where, btw, I get 600mb plus mobile plus landline for 40e a month.

Labour have smashed that to be fair.

Except that pretty much everyone with a modicum of intelligence thinks that it's a fucking ridiculous idea.

Benefits of living in a fascist state.

Enjoy your superfast interweb.

Do I understand this aright- you wish to inflict Jezzer and his throwbacks on us in the UK while you cavort in the Costas?

He did.

Water; Gas; Electric; Trains; Broad-band should all be publicly owned none profit organisations. We could lead the world with green tech that would be exported globally. I work from home using good broadband, it has improved my life, whilst also improving my productivity. Its the future, but private companies are failing to invest to make this happen.
old fashioned bosses don't trust their workers, they should look at their output, and not how many hrs they are in the office on instagram.

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.

The tax payers didn't get anywhere near the true value for BT when the Tories gave it away in '84. Take the share price to value ratio from 1984 and give todays shareholders the same return. A fair exchange is no robbery.

Except that pretty much everyone with a modicum of intelligence thinks that it's a fucking ridiculous idea.

Except the 62% polled today that agreed with it against the 22% that didn’t?

Tax cuts to business generally help the economy Len.

Tax cuts for the already rich don't.

Oh yes. Ten years of Tories, you can have Jezza for 5!

Seeing as I sell broadband for a living, I am definitely against the idea.
However, even if I didn't, I would still say it is a crazy idea.

I wonder what the commissions and markets authority think about nationalisation?

Dear God, give me strength. More than half the BT shares were sold to the public - to people like you and me. Well not you obviously because the fucking enormous chip on your shoulder weighed you down too much to fill the fucking application forms in.

 

[urban genie]

This is total bollocks I’m afraid.

George Galloway will be voting Labour and you shouldn’t be compared to that tosser for voting for Labour.

George galloway is standing in west brom east as an independant for brexit, so not sure where you get he is voting labour from

Chancellor of the Exchequer material right here:

Striking McDonald’s staff demanding £15 an hour say they want Labour government

I'll bet they do. More than police officers start on, for flipping burgers. Anyone with no brain, put your X here.

The rich are not on PAYE.

You can make it an effective 90% tax rate tomorrow, it doesnt mean your going to get it.

Tax avoidance isn't new and a Labour government isn't going to stop it as no other labour government has ever stopped it.

telling Google, Facebook and Amazon that they are an extension of the treasury isn't going to work either but you know this really.

 

[George Hannah]

Oh yes. Ten years of Tories, you can have Jezza for 5!

May I ask why you think we should endure a union run Marxist experiment for a microsecond?
