The 5G is still Via Huawei

Ooh and then there's the thousands of extra filth on the streets who incidentally won't actually be needed by that time because the schools will be so fantastic no kid will ever want to knock off' to become a knife weilding drug courier! I don't know why we've waited so long?

You misunderstand, you were a "youth" in 1974.

Who said I did? I asked if it was our responsibility to keep them in employment?

If they are working for a company supplying broadband to the UK and it’s the company policy to have call centres in India or Scotland or Manchester its their responsibility, obviously you personally are not responsible Marsh but if you pay your subs to the company then you are vicariously contributing to their employment, it’s how business works

Right... but you're suggesting our main concern should be their employment should those services no longer be required?

Industries and services become obsolete or evolve into something else all the time. It's how the world works.

No I am suggesting that a potential future government potentially putting people out of work is not a good look

Nonsense. The government's job is to look after jobs in the UK, not the whole world.
Those call centres should not have been outsourced abroad in the first place.

Yes, India's employment figures should definitely be on their priority list.

So it's ok for companies such as sky, virgin etc to lose money?

Also, as most of labour want to remain in the EU, how do they balance this nationalisation against the EU competition rules that this breaks?

No they will have to change
if Labour get in power?
As Everyone would move to Free Broadband
Corbyn's BT British Broadband

Talk Talk Internet
was just about to expand and sell it on,
but that was immediately postponed.
As Labour destroyed their plan.

Yes it is.. why do those being overcharged for a private company feel obligated to protect its profits
