I think Labour should offer every person a free car. (With free petrol of course) It's completely unfair that these rich bastards can drive around in their Rolls Royce while poor people have to trudge to the bus stop, especially at this time of year when it's cold & wet. Infact free heating aswell so as people can be nice & warm all winter. Speaking of winter we normally get a bit of snow & ice & that can be quite dangerous, better let everyone stay at home & we'll just give them all free food with free home delivery. Of course they'll need something to do while they're stuck at home so free 65" TVs & free Xbox's (With free Xbox live subscription)
I'm getting onboard with this. Vote Labour!

Try looking at how it will benefit people rather than the cost. The poorest will have more opportunities from free broadband, it is an extra asset for teachers to help with education, a rise in education will reduce violent crime. It will save money and ease pressures on struggling services. Most job opportunities come via the internet, it is a good policy. Labour have ideas and the Tories will hide behind 'Get Brexit done', people need a vision of a positive future not some empty rhetoric. I voted Brexit myself but i wouldn't vote just to get brexit done, i am a fairly sceptical person really and to me only one party is focusing on helping people, whether most of it is bullshit or not they have their priorities right no matter what anyone thinks about Corbyn. This ridiculous idea will destroy the industry and damage the people you want to help. Why? Because the comms industry is driven by technology innovation which simply doesn’t happen in nationalised industries. The comms industry is the most obvious example of that. The boom in the late 80s that lead to the mobile and broadband we enjoy today was a direct consequence of liberalisation of that industry. We’ve all benefited from the tech industry not being heavily taxed or regulated, hence the massive advancements the last 20-30 years, labour will put a massive roadblock in front if it with their “progressive” policies. |

Her ISIS husband was Dutch apparently so there's an option for her plus having a Bangladeshi mother allows her to obtain that nationality as well. Funny how this 16 year old is naive, brainwashed and vulnerable but Labour are pushing for the vote for 16 year olds. Correct - a couple of weeks ago she was trying to sponge of the state over here, but I'm unsure of the current status as to her whereabouts. Just turf her off back to Syria and save everybody a lot of time and money. They let any fucker in over here - even me !!!!  The concern I have with sending her and other ISIS fighters/supporters to anywhere is that they'll still be able to spread their corrupt ideology. I'm not comfortable with sending them anywhere where there are normal people. It's shame we can't just round them all up and stick them on an deserted island in the middle of nowhere. |

What has Johnson being in the middle of an election campaign got to do with anything? He is the sitting Prime Minister and couldn't be arsed to get his sorry backside up to Yorkshire to show support for people desperately in need. The man's a waste of space. The flooding started on 24th December 2013. Cameron cancelled his Middle East visit in the middle of February 2014. I get it, you don't like Boris but stop believing the spin. Cameron arrives 7 weeks later - The GuardianI wouldn’t waste your time, had Johnson turned up earlier they’d be saying he’s exploiting a tragedy to buy votes and get a cheap photo op ...this isn’t about the floods anymore, it’s pure party politics. |

I disagree. The tech giants would still have provided the same but they'd have less power than now and we wouldn't be seeing all our high street stores being shut on a weekly basis. The way they've come over here and decimated local businesses whilst paying little to no taxes stinks of corruption. |

An interest point on QT Last night. A lady suggested that with labour and Tory continually talking bollocks about the NHS it should be taken off the politicians hands. I don’t know how that would work maybe Running independently to parliment like the Bank of England and interest rates. Answerable to government but not controlled by it Absolutely, it's something I've been saying for years. All parties should get together and agree a policy for the NHS for the next 30 years and stick to it whichever party is in parliament |

Even someone on the lowest income can afford a mobile phone which has state of the art technology these days, this wouldn’t have happened had we levied high taxes on the tech industry, or it would take much longer to get this type of technology in the hands of more people, technology would be the play thing of the rich, as it is now almost everyone can afford a big tv with endless supply of entertainment and most people own a mobile phone. |

Who really gives a fuck about 'free broadband'.
As if that should in any way influence a voters decision.
Improving public services and climate change are the two primary areas any party should be focusing on if they truly care about the well-being of the people.

A good but flawed plan I feel due to the snowflakes whinging about CO2 emissions from the vessels that transport them there, not to mention carbon footprints this leaves behind and the ínhumane living conditions they would have to endure….  They could always make them swim I suppose OR Just shoot her - a much cheaper option I feel....whats a bullet cost these days.....? Anyone know? |

Think I'd rather we taxed those companies fairly (as we do with UK based ones) and spent those billions on public services, rather than have a cheap phone. But if you think that it's ok to allow them to monopolise the UK market by giving them unfair competitive advantage over UK businesses just so we can get Netflix and new TV every 2 years, then fine. Those tech giants have more than enough money to have done all that they have now AND to have paid what they were due in taxes. How many people have lost their jobs because the high street companies they worked for couldn't compete against these tech giants. How much could those digital taxes have helped our public services. A bigger TV doesn't really seem like a decent return. |

Anyone in here work for BT Open Reach? Got any shares? Thoughts? I have around 9,600 shares in another company Lenin Jezza wants to re-nationalise. I've worked for them for 30 years. Some were awarded free and some were share options at a discounted price. Thoughts? Labour haven't got a cat in hell's chance of winning the tombola at the village hall, let alone a general election. So, no worries. |

So we agree that it’s another Labour unicorn stunt You really are on a right wing roll this week Haha, I don't go in for all this labeling people as left or right nonsense. I have no loyalty to any party so I have no qualms about giving my opinion on either of them. The only 'promise' I like the sound of currently is the Lib Dems investment on climate change. But as usual and with all these 'Emissions targets' that countries are promising to adhere to, it's probably a load of shit. They'll all full of crap and just pander to their respective audiences. All of them seem to have this compulsion to go to extremes in one area or another rather than finding a balance to suit most people. |

Labours pkans are you but them not at market rate but at a rate that matches initial investment That will go down well Was at a conference last week and we had a Professor from the Hamburg Institute of Economics there. His opinion was that we will be heading into a global recession over the coming years (based on global market data and trends). He basically highlighted how the decline of manufacturing is now having a knock on effect on the services industry. Anyway, just something to keep a look out for if you have shares. |

A bigger TV doesn't really seem like a decent return. Its not the TV that matters per-se, but its just an example of how technologically advanced goods can be made affordable to almost everyone if you don't stifle the industry with high taxes and regulations, which is what governments invariably do, it will just make things more expensive, technology will once again just be the play thing of the rich because they can afford the higher prices. |

I think Labour should offer every person a free car. (With free petrol of course) It's completely unfair that these rich bastards can drive around in their Rolls Royce while poor people have to trudge to the bus stop, especially at this time of year when it's cold & wet. Infact free heating aswell so as people can be nice & warm all winter. Speaking of winter we normally get a bit of snow & ice & that can be quite dangerous, better let everyone stay at home & we'll just give them all free food with free home delivery. Of course they'll need something to do while they're stuck at home so free 65" TVs & free Xbox's (With free Xbox live subscription) I'm getting onboard with this. Vote Labour! Can i have a free dog with all the trimmings please? |
