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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pros. Free Broadband for everyone.
Now you go....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fully costed, just like the rest of their manifesto.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you explain that? I don't understand what you're saying or what your point is? Also I'm not pro Conservs as stated before.
I have an agnostic view on all parties and hate them all with the same amount of disdain.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who am I to have an opinion on something? Stop being so arrogant.
As I said, you pay people in low-skilled jobs £15/hour and watch the amount of people in work drop and businesses (particularly small) crumble. Not rocket science.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mate, they are brainwashed by those earning £2000 an hour to hate those earning £7.61 an hour whilst they’re on £11 an hour.
Yes, they are THAT stupid.

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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you serious, what benefit does a BT or Vodafone have in producing a bad service?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You assume it will all be badly run and managed which you cannot be clear on, also plenty of these companies don't offer stellar service and the competition has done little to reduce costs across the board.

Small business don't have an impact on what a late corporation pay their staff, its simple, the amount of profit the company makes is not reflected the wages they pay, this is the point.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolute waffle Winston, privitization is the single biggest factor in the sky rocketing prices for public transport for example.
Humans haven't made any mistakes here you are poorly informed
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh really?
Maybe you'd like to have a little research back into what a nationalised service is like for utilities.
Let me know how you get on.

LIke privisation is benefiting us all. The only thing privisation does is benefits the very rich. Only fools would think otherwise.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Two points:
1. I didn't say or imply privitisation is perfect. It has massive issues.
2. The problems with privitisation don't mean nationalisation is automatically the better alternative.

Won’t be delivered until 2030
Estimated cost £20Billion in today’s money. Expect it to double/treble in the next 11 yrs, like HS2
Better solution is to offer tax breaks to the broadband companies to get fibre and 5G up and running across the country and WITHOUT increasing prices

A minimum wage of £15/hour for fast-food workers and jobs of equivalent skill is not good for the economy however you look at it.
Small businesses won't be able to grow, there will be less jobs with businesses looking to technology instead, and stuff will cost a fortune.

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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you serious, what benefit does a BT or Vodafone have in producing a bad service?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You assume it will all be badly run and managed which you cannot be clear on, also plenty of these companies don't offer stellar service and the competition has done little to reduce costs across the board.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't assume, I study basic economics.
You are Sizzle have offered no real alternative to my argument. This isnt a Labour vs Conserv thing, I hate both/all with a passion.
I just think privatisng BT is not a good idea
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who’s side are you on?
Ordinary people, or tax dodging billionaires?
It’s really that simple.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The way i look at it is that the parties should be focusing on what affects people most. Don't ever remember anyone saying to me that the cost of Broadband is out of control. Its a competitive market where there is a range of services on offer. People can always find good deals and can now move around with ease.
People will typically be spending more on a mobile phone contract than on BB. You can basically get fast BB for about £5 a week. Less than a bottle of wine. A pint and a half. 10 cigarettes.
To me this is a gimmick...offering something that really is not an issue with the vast majority, but the solution to achieve it will be hugely expensive and disruptive. It will only ever become a growing burden on the countries finances without having any significant productive benefits other than lowering peoples bills.
As someone else above said, the focus should be ensuring 5G is rolled out across the country and rural areas are much better served than currently. This will deliver fairness in a competitive market where market forces will ensure prices stay reasonable.
Trickle down economy.
Do people STILL believe in this rubbish,

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who am I to have an opinion on something? Stop being so arrogant.
As I said, you pay people in low-skilled jobs £15/hour and watch the amount of people in work drop and businesses (particularly small) crumble. Not rocket science.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not being arrogant mate you are by claiming these people don't deserve it cause you think they don't.
Small business don't have an impact on what a late corporation pay their staff, its simple, the amount of profit the company makes is not reflected the wages they pay, this is the point.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A minimum wage of £15/hour for fast-food workers and jobs of equivalent skill is not good for the economy however you look at it.
Small businesses won't be able to grow, there will be less jobs with businesses looking to technology instead, and stuff will cost a fortune.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It`s like at WHL mate, the staff serving you behind the bars and food outlets are getting paid a pittance, whilst Levy is charging ticket prices of upwards of £100 and more just to sit and watch 90 minutes of football.

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.

Can you explain that? I don't understand what you're saying or what your point is? Also I'm not pro Conservs as stated before.
I have an agnostic view on all parties and hate them all with the same amount of disdain.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mate, they are brainwashed by those earning £2000 an hour to hate those earning £7.61 an hour whilst they’re on £11 an hour.
Yes, they are THAT stupid.

Funny how humans make the same mistakes over and over - as if the nationalisation of this and other industries would be a good thing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolute waffle Winston, privitization is the single biggest factor in the sky rocketing prices for public transport for example.
Humans haven't made any mistakes here you are poorly informed
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh really?
Maybe you'd like to have a little research back into what a nationalised service is like for utilities.
Let me know how you get on.

Two points:
1. I didn't say or imply privitisation is perfect. It has massive issues.
2. The problems with privitisation don't mean nationalisation is automatically the better alternative.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who am I to have an opinion on something? Stop being so arrogant.
As I said, you pay people in low-skilled jobs £15/hour and watch the amount of people in work drop and businesses (particularly small) crumble. Not rocket science.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not being arrogant mate you are by claiming these people don't deserve it cause you think they don't.
Small business don't have an impact on what a late corporation pay their staff, its simple, the amount of profit the company makes is not reflected the wages they pay, this is the point.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A minimum wage of £15/hour for fast-food workers and jobs of equivalent skill is not good for the economy however you look at it.
Small businesses won't be able to grow, there will be less jobs with businesses looking to technology instead, and stuff will cost a fortune.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, why are we pandering to small business or ANY businesses as if they’re the be all and end all.
Wealth creator b0llocks.

So the only solution to these problems is to nationalise everything?
Okay.

McDonalds raked in over £21 billion last year, and you don`t think their workers are worth £15 an hour.

Not too fussed about free broadband.
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pros. Free Broadband for everyone.
Now you go....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you serious, what benefit does a BT or Vodafone have in producing a bad service?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You assume it will all be badly run and managed which you cannot be clear on, also plenty of these companies don't offer stellar service and the competition has done little to reduce costs across the board.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't assume, I study basic economics.
You are Sizzle have offered no real alternative to my argument. This isnt a Labour vs Conserv thing, I hate both/all with a passion.
I just think privatisng BT is not a good idea
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who’s side are you on?
Ordinary people, or tax dodging billionaires?
It’s really that simple.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The way i look at it is that the parties should be focusing on what affects people most. Don't ever remember anyone saying to me that the cost of Broadband is out of control. Its a competitive market where there is a range of services on offer. People can always find good deals and can now move around with ease.
People will typically be spending more on a mobile phone contract than on BB. You can basically get fast BB for about £5 a week. Less than a bottle of wine. A pint and a half. 10 cigarettes.
To me this is a gimmick...offering something that really is not an issue with the vast majority, but the solution to achieve it will be hugely expensive and disruptive. It will only ever become a growing burden on the countries finances without having any significant productive benefits other than lowering peoples bills.
As someone else above said, the focus should be ensuring 5G is rolled out across the country and rural areas are much better served than currently. This will deliver fairness in a competitive market where market forces will ensure prices stay reasonable.

It`s like at WHL mate, the staff serving you behind the bars and food outlets are getting paid a pittance, whilst Levy is charging ticket prices of upwards of £100 and more just to sit and watch 90 minutes of football.
Why shouldn`t Levy pay his staff more?
