My actual mate is my actual mate. He's on the front line. He hates his job but loves the overtime. He wants this to happen. He works for Openreach, as does another of my mates, who also wants this to happen... they both love overtime.
It's like any utility. For those of us lucky enough to have a regular income, you just want a provider that works, for whom you can set up a standing order (or is it a direct debit? one of those anyway) and then just forget about it. Hence so many people don't have the cheapest rate for many of their utilities. Hopefully there are more interesting things to think about in life.
If that were true, then public sentiment about the acceptability of ideological policy position would never change enough to effect electoral change.
Nonsense. Free broadband will need more people to install it and keep it running. They may have to become employees rather than being "contractors", but hey ho.
We still live in the shadow of Blair. He became a tory to win power, and it then seems to have become received wisdom that you had to tack yourself towards the party that beat you in the last election to win back power. Evidence from elections around the world shows that this is not necessarily true, and I genuinely believe that a reformist, genuinely leftist labour platform would have won in 97. Failure of those in power can shift the 'overton window' as well.
I fail to see how that could possibly happen. If your company suddenly gets inundated with work, then how would that lead to job loses? (especially jobs that matter?)
This is very good. Lots of 'fucking communist', 'marxist' etc, please. That's exactly what happened in 2017.
Meanwhile the tories are saying jack shit. They've got a real opportunity here, imo. I still want to hear a big roll out of the green new deal. I hope that is to come.
If labour have any sense they will have some big proposals for costs/provision of long term/later life care, state/public intervention to ensure larger numbers of better paid carers available, roll back changes to state pension age, end need to claim guarantee credit to top up state pension, stuff like that. Should do this anyway because it is right, but also because there is a clear lack of trust of labour in older voters. Also focus on childcare provision would be welcome.
I agree with all that too. But this broadband thing and also a green new deal are ideas that show Labour to be the forward-thinking party. I think that's also hugely important. The tories have fuck all to say about anything. Labour can have them running around reacting to labour's ideas and ending up trying to ape the popular ones.
Either that or you just made it all up.
Well you've neither mentioned brexit nor wittered on about how useless corbyn is all night. Seems to be working.
