As someone who generally leans towards the conservative side of government spending, I actually quite like this Labour policy. Broadband has become as important as other utilities and centralising it should improve connections in rural areas, that just don't make financial sense for private companies.
However, they've not pitched it right for me. This was the perfect opportunity to scrap HS2 and make the argument that improved home internet would make remote working more viable for more people, thus adding more to the economy and limiting the need for additional high speed transport into London.
As it is, I suspect it's just more Labour spending to be paid for by increasing taxes and borrowing.

George was fully behind the Brexit Party last time I checked. Probably voting Tory now :)

Better than Tory tax cuts to be paid for by borrowing mate.As someone who generally leans towards the conservative side of government spending, I actually quite like this Labour policy.

We've had ten years of that shit now and it's got us nowhere.

He’s going to vote Labour in this election.
The man is a total antisemite and has spent most of his life sucking the cocks of anti-western dictators in the Middle East.
I wouldn’t throw my mate at work or my step mother in the same direction for voting for Labour, nor would I even throw Brexit Party voters in his direction.
One thing I despise in all this is the bullying toward people who just wish to vote a different way to you (not you specifically).

Why not tackle his point rather than using whataboutism?

Money wasn't so tight was it though to give tax cuts to business and the wealthiest in our society?
Tax cuts to business generally help the economy Len.
High taxation generally actually brings the tax take down as those with good accountants like @BobKowalski find ways of not paying it.
Austerity certainly needs to end and i was never in favour of it because it also kills the economy but whilst its right we spend money on services, the teenager with his Dads Gold Amex card approach isn't the right way of going about it.
Thankfully McDonnell wont be allowed anywhere near the countries cards.

Its a good one but when free things like libraries which sadly becomes a financial liability when money is tight is fighting things like the NHS, School budgets, Social care etc etc then they go to the bottom of the list and often get shut so what was once free is now no more.
Still you lol'd so not all bad ;-)
It’s been a good day :)

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.
