The SNP are not going to p1ss off hundreds of thousands of small shareholders
by agreeing to below market privatisations imv- if they get another referendum they
need every vote available.

Look at the UK water utilities, the SP's have been rising for months.

Corbyn new CEO of BT lol,

I’d love to believe Corbyn has no chance of being in charge but a hung Parliament is entirely possible and a Labour government supported by the SNP would agree to anything, including another Inderef. The Scots wouldn’t care about the rest of the UK as long as they got what they wanted so I wouldn’t be quite so sure re-nationalisation could never happen.

The Tory’s have done a cracking job so far of sabotaging their position just as Teresa May did last time. Sadly Parliament is full of incompetents so I wouldn’t rely on them for anything I’m afraid.

The 'US' Sub Prime scandal, some banks copied the innovative way David Bowie sold rights to his back 'catalog'.

Hopefully some creative banker will do that with my back 'echograms'.

Rown wanted house market boom. Mortgage equity withdrawal allowed happy feel good feeling g of wealth. But it's actually a reduction tion of wealth. Still it helped with taxes for a while but now we are all broke

BT customers are paying to sustain the BT pension scheme, that's been the case for years, apparently there has been a 'shortfall' for years.

LAMMERGEIER
The reason the banks collapsed is there was ‘light touch regulation’ as heavily promoted by Gordon Brown and who reaped the benefits of the tax receipts of a booming City of London. Afterwards to shift the blame he said it was all the banks fault, which is was, but if you are in charge, as Brown was, who really is to blame for the unregulated business that was being done?
Don’t listen to politicans they never tell the truth one simple fact though Labour always screw the economy

Most people who are putting money into a pension are BT share holders.

John McDonald said when Labour nationalise these companies the value of them will be determined by the Labour Party at the time.

[george stobbart] 15/11/2019 09:32

You must a lunatic or a radical extremest to vote Labour. These guys are out of control.

[kenmitch] 15/11/2019 09:31

Chances of a majority Labour Goverment are tiny. Hence BT share price soon recovering initial drop. A hung Parliament IS possible, but presumably no chance then of Labour getting this through.

So it looks nothing much to worry about for BT shareholders....and also the current bombed out share price is already pricing in the huge costs of developing 5G.

There might well be a dividend cut to help pay for it. As when VOD cut theirs, market reaction could be positive.

[lammergeier] 15/11/2019 09:30

People seem to forget that the reason we have had austerity and large public service
cuts in the last 10 years was due to the banks being allowed to cause mayhem in the
2007 and 2008 huge financial crash.
The Labour Party managed to bail out the country by taking huge stakes in the banks
which still exist,the incoming Conservatives were faced with a huge deficit and nothing left in the reserves to sort it out(hence austerity).
The moral of the tale should be to stop all massive financial gambling instruments
being used by Investment Banks,Hedge funds,currency traders,shorters etc..
Unless the Conservatives are re-elected we may be faced with another hung Parliament
and a large minority of Scottish Nationalists(Over 50)controlling the agenda!!

Once upon a time political ideas, policies and intentions were distributed by:
Two or three TV channels
Half a dozen major rags
Your friends down the pub

People voted Red or Blue, and some drifted to the pinky colours.

New every oik has their own publishing and media empire.

We may never get a majority on anything ever again.

[holly1000] 15/11/2019 09:24

I think those type of people will vote labour anyway, its the BT shareholders who would have voted labour will not now unless into self harming ?

What about all the rif-raf who don't have BT shares, they want free broadband.

[pierre oreilly] 15/11/2019 09:18

I bet most working people are BT shareholders, and they're even less likely to vote labour once they know their BT shares in their pensions will get hit.

Maybe labour aren't being bold enough. Maybe they should give a free car and perhaps a free house to everyone - those and a 3 day week working could be a winner.

Interesting:

Claim
Government debt has doubled under the Conservatives.

Conclusion
Not correct. Public sector net debt, adjusted for inflation, rose by 53% between 2009/10 and 2016/17.


The national debt almost tripled under the last Labour government.


Correct in cash terms, but after adjusting for inflation it’s more like doubled than tripled. Public sector net debt, adjusted for inflation, rose by 125% between 1996/97 and 2009/10 – mostly after the recession that began in 2008.

Labour has managed to alienate every BT shareholder now I wonder how many voters that equates to ? And made the chances of being coming elected less than ever, Home goal!!!!!

John McDonald, the Shadow Chancellor is more left wing then his boss.

He said this morning that all these Nationalised companies would carry on running in the same way as they are now.

I remember in the late 70s when the news broadcasters would go through the yearly subsidies of each of the nationalise industries. In todays money would come to a total of about £50bln a year of subsidies from the government and their services and quality was far worse then after being privatized.

Not at the moment.

All figures from IFS.

There are some crazy ideas being spouted to engage crazy and idealistic people.
Unfortunately, that makes up the majority of the British public, so even the most remote, fu@#ing ludicrous idea can win a majority. Remember Brexit?

[george stobbart] 15/11/2019 09:05

BT Closes green today. The communists lost the plot today and will be lower another -5% on the next polls on BT vandalism.
