Awful policy.

Funny how humans make the same mistakes over and over - as if the nationalisation of this and other industries would be a good thing.

LIke privisation is benefiting us all. The only thing privisation does is benefits the very rich. Only fools would think otherwise.

Is he still offering more bank holidays?

Save that for another thread really or this is going to turn into policy debates when it should be about the privatisation of BT and it's pros and cons.

Brilliant idea. Conservatives are waffling lies all over the media this morning as usual. They really are getting desperate now. They are in a pact with the Devil (Farage) and they are still not sure of winning.

Another five years with a combination of Johnson, Farage and Brexit will bring this country to its knees.

The amusing thing is the so called working class of the Midlands and the North are like Turkeys voting for Xmas. Talk about getting brainwashed. You cannot put a price on how stupid people are if they vote Tory again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not sure you can say they're in a pact. The Brexit Party's decision to stand down in Tory seats was theirs alone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No it wasn't. Or big Nige was lying again. Promised to stand in every seat claiming the WAB was not Brexit etc etc.

And suddenly stands down half of their candidates, and accepts the WAB (unbelievably taking Johnson's word on amendments to the PD )

It's a sad indictment of where we are as a country that the Brexit party even exist.

Look, Labour's policies look absolutely fantastic, but they're totally unrealistic and unsustainable. It's almost as if Corbyn is offering bribes in return for votes sometimes.

I mean you had him supporting the notion of McDonald's workers getting £15/hour the other day FFS.

Cloud Cuckoo Land springs to mind.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

They said the same mate about thewhen they were trying to get the NHS up and running in the 1940s. Tories opposed it at every turn and said it was living in cloud cuckoo land. Same with the big council house build after the 2nd world war.

If you really want things mate in this country, you have to invest.

And why shouldn`t McDonald`s workers get £15 an hour. Why do you think they are less deserving than a pen pusher in an office who is on £50 an hour? McDonald`s workers are the very people that are underpaid for very long hours. The sort of cheap Labour Wetherspoons Boss Tim Martin built his empire on.

It’s literally why I’m voting for them.

Water, Electricity, The Post Office, The Railways and now broadband all brought back into public ownership.

Fantastic.

I don't think nationolising BT is a good idea tbh, so no it's not a game changer. If you dig a little deeper and look at the bigger picture its not a great idea imo.

It's just a cheap policy to try and get younger generation to vote Labour without people looking into it.

And I;m not conservative FYI before you slate me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Its a shallow policy trying to get cheap votes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's what they are ALL doing, millions of £££££'s coming from nowhere, after years of cuts, which is going to sort out our problems, one's that they made in the first place, it's all BS. And this is why people are so disilluioned with politics.

All services that affect us all should be in the hands of the State. It costs money, but I would sooner the money spent from our taxes go into things that benefit everybody, rather than into Shareholders pockets.

Branson is already pooing his pants. His monopoly may be coming to and end.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sorry, but I don't believe working in a fast food restaurant warrants £15/hour. If that's forced upon McDonalds, there will be less jobs available and you better get used to paying £15 for a Big Mac meal. (At least it would tackle the obesity problem).

Agree, they're all caants and it staggers me you get people that are staunch Labour/Conservs all their lives and won't change at all, and argue to death over polices.

Farage just wants what over 17 million voted for, yeah, a devil indeed

None of the parties are worth voting for, expecting a low turnout.

Oh please, even Farage can’t decide what version of Brexit he wants.

I doubt he even wants to leave the EU at all.

Short term management (Government thinking of the next election)
Reduced efficiency (No competition)
Poorly managed (just look at the funding for the NHS)
May need more funding - potential tax increase etc

That's just off the top of my head, look at the bigger picture ffs.

Who are you to claim this? And why are you so against a massive company like McDonald's paying their staff more when it has zero impact on you?

Cant get my head around why so many seem to want to keep people down, absolute tories

Why don't you look at the actual picture and see how bad these services currently are.

People with this view point are the reason tories have ruined you country

I wonder how many people realise the scale of the wealth being ferreted away by the 1%. ? Even a very modest incursion into those piles of mainly dormant wealth would pay for all of Labour's promises several times over. We are being ripped off on a historical scale.
