You can be either for or anti this, but it's not soviet style anything, and it isn't communism.

Australia wanted this
and Failed to get it done

Again... why would it be any more dangerous than broadband provided by private companies?

I don't see the Australians as communists, far from it.
Maybe the failings there were analysed, identified and rectified by the shadow cabinet?

Rather than listen to the reactionary squealing of the nay sayers I understand it is important to be in posession of the facts, therefore I'll wait for the manifesto to be able to give a reasoned response.

No
they are not
but they wanted Free internet to all
but it failed.




Terms and Conditions matter
we will find out in the Manifesto
by Labour this week.

I just said it's not communism, and you say it's not that simple?

Why would anyone use our communist healthcare system in that case?

So Labour are going to grab back a company that Germany hold the most shares at a price they decide themselves, how is that possible?

I'd imagine there are lots of different ways to get Internet access in Germany.

A big problem if we had a nationalised monopoly is it doesn't give people a choice, so there is little incentive to improve the service.

So you're saying you don't want free full fibre broadband, you want normal or part fibre and pay Ł30+ pm for it?
There's just no pleasing some people.

It’s just typical pie in the Sky nonsense from politicians !!

There’s a few companies who’ve already said it will cost TEN times what Labour have predicted... whoever gets in power will need to spend money on things more important.

You could well be right and it could all be pie in the sky, but why does no one ever hold he tories to account for spaffing 100m up the wall on no deal propaganda and preparation? Why is no one demanding that they release the brexit costings and assessment? Why is it ok that we've become one of the greatest western countries to funnel your money through to tax havens?

All these exceptions we make to help the tories give their mates preferential treatment, and yet labour want to improve the lives of ordinary everyday people, and suddenly folks turn into accountants.

This double standard is why we can't have nice things.

I read somewhere that the tories promised something like 30,000 new houses ... three years later not one had been built..

They’re all vagabonds

"Figures released from the Department for Communities and Local Government show that housebuilding is at its highest level since 2008.

The latest data shows that the number of new build homes that have started on site has surged to a decade high, with 164,960 new homes started in the year to June 2017. And with more than 153,000 new homes completed during the same period, housebuilding is going from strength to strength.

Housebuilding is strong across the UK, with Gloucestershire, South Derbyshire and South Norfolk amongst the strongest areas in delivering high levels of starts.

The figures show an increase of 13% from 2016, with new build homes increasing by more than three-quarters since 2009."

It was council/housing association houses that were promised I believe, and it was by T-May in 2017 so they can't even claim that it was sunk by Brexit. Although I suppose poor T'resa maybe actually believed she'd get 5 years and that Brexit would be done by March 2019, so maybe she did plan to deliver on that. Probably not. But maybe!

Does Jeremy Corbyn even have the internet?

I kind of see him still using a Nokia and not being on wifi at home?

Are any of these council homes or anything that could be classed as affordable?
I don't doubt that homes are being built in the UK but it's private companies building them.

I was responding to someone who said that "not one house" had been built. I live in South Norfolk, one of the top three councils for building houses and I can tell you that it's not all executive homes, lots of houses and flats for rental have been built. And top three councils in the country for building houses are Gloucestershire, South Norfolk and South Derbyshire. All Conservative councils... the heartless b*stards.
