CBI’s director-general, Carolyn Fairbairn, that Labour’s plans, notably on nationalisation, could “crack the foundations of the economy”.

I think it is safe to say that privatisation has rather been hit and miss, nationalisation will have its challenges especially in the beginning however doing so truly does take back control from the few. The CBI also whined about how devastating the minimum wage would be on the economy which turned out to be crap.

I see a minimum of 180,000 people could loose their jobs in companies the likes of Virgin Internet, Sky etc. who would not be able to compete with the new Nationalised free give away internet provider that the Labour Party is suggesting they will establish.

Does that mean that all those who strongly suggested that we should stop Brexit because of "...all those possible job losses..." will definitely not be voting Labour Party!?!

As a fan of Mark Twain's sayings I take notice and stay out of this thread
The comments make for enlightening reading:
What people really think but for the biggest part will not say to your face.

Is that figure from the CBI?

Can't recall, I read it shortly after the Labour Party announcement but I was travelling at the time but hey using the Remainers argument: No-one votes to make themselves redundant...!

I can see jobs being lost if Labour nationalise the internet part of BT but a helluva lot more will be lost if Brexit happens.
And, no, Boro Boy, I will not be voting Labour. A wasted vote in my constituency and for a party I cannot support due to the way militant have taken over. Same as I cannot vote for the Tories due to the hard right takeover of the party. I could weep every time a middle of the road MP or Councillor announces they are quitting or will not be standing again. These people represent the majority of those who actually vote for their party. Membership has become so polarised in both main parties.

I'm glad you are at least not voting Labour Party, their biggest problem is they just love spending other peoples money and leaving huge debts behind them. But hey, you can't possibly be considering the Liberal Un-Democrats…!?! Do you recall Jo Swinson dismissing Johnson and Corbyn as ‘white men’. When did it become acceptable to attack people for their skin colour? As long as ‘white’ is used as an insult from the Liberal Un-Democrats the slippery slope begins...

Nothing WOW in the debate. Not even a scandal for the tabloids to feed off!

You expect me to vote for a hard right party run by the philandering lying Johnson or the hard right non party run by Farage which has made the decent Tory party into his odious image. No thanks I am not that stupid
