And he bought them years ago when they really were very cheap. That's hardly in the league of Tory politicians who usually have several properties worth millions plus all sports of off-shore investments.

Privatisation was hailed as the sale of the century and was promised to turn the UK into an island of small shareholders. It failed: the faceless state bureaucrats have been replaced by faceless (better-paid) private bureaucrats - and big foreign corporations. With hindsight privatisation of our public services has been a costly waste, and *has to stop* It’s our taxes and our bills that get wasted on shareholder profits, extra admin costs, and higher interest rates on borrowed money. Looking at privatisation in just the NHS alone - the cost of maintaining the internal market is (at a very conservative estimate) £4.5 billion a year or £86 million a week. Add that to £2.15 billion a year in 2020-2021 on PFI contracts, and all together, the NHS is wasting £6.65 billion at a minimum every year - or £128 million a week. *We need to end privatisation* in our NHS as soon as possible to end this waste, especially with trade deals on the horizon. as hinted at by Donald J Trump or Nigel Farage.

As opposed to being run by corporations that don't pay tax?

Problem with all Capitalists is the fact that all of their wealth comes from others toil and suffering.

Wealth comes from providing someone with a product or service that they desire and giving it to them at a negotiable price.say that I want £200, I could either take out a loan and pay them back or I could work for someone (providing a service) and they pay me an amount that I negotiated them with (say £10/hr) and in no time at all I'll have that £200 but nutjobs like you push for a "welfare state" which gives people stuff for free, leaves people in poverty and distorts the "free market"

@@wclifton968gameplaystutorials That's the shittest explanation of wealth i've ever read. Capitalist's make profits by taking the surplus value from the labour of their employee's by not paying them the true value of their work. There is no true market that isn't hijacked and moulded by those who exploit it. Why do think huge companies lobby politicians to alter the market in their favour? To create a fair market with perfect knowledge for everyone to enjoy or to suck as much profit as they can like the greedy parasites they are? Can you not see that workers literally can't access policy and politicians in such a direct way that wealthy people can? Mark my words, eventually, Capitalism will destroy itself with it's own internal contradictions that can't be ignored..

wclifton968 The money needed to provide for a inflated “welfare state” will be a burden for the tax payer. Companies will go out of business which means workers will lose their jobs. Those businesses that do survive will simply leave the UK, again leading to more loss of jobs. Individuals who have earned their way to highly paid jobs will see no reason to carry on working, those earning over £80,000 will simply quit their jobs as there is literally no point in working in intensive stressful, highly skilled professions if you’re going to be losing more than half your income in tax to the government, a government which will then distribute your earnings to the utter pondlife, benefit scroungers and rats of society who simply refuse to find employment and contribute. The loss of these highly-skilled workers will be a huge hit to the economy. More power to unions will mean that nationalised industries will be constantly hit by strikes due to low wages. This is only a selection of things which will happen under a Labour government. Chaos, and if you refuse to believe the truth then you are simply delusional.

Sean Utterly delusional.

Unfortunately it is anything but as simplistic as you try to present it. Historically Starbucks paid tiny rates of tax in UK despite huge turnovers and did so quite legally. Their reputation suffered as a result and they voluntarily paid. They had offices in UK and were registered. They were taxed in other jurisdictions. Other firms who have registered offices in other countries with higher tax than UK loose that tax revenue in a similar manner. In any event, unless you are a tax expert, this is a stunningly complex area and your simplistic view isn't helpful.

Aspartame69 - As to your pre-edited comment ‘care to point to a country where this has worked without being propped up by oil money?’. None, and even those that were propped up by oil money, such as Venezuela and, to an extent, the Soviet Union, still totally failed to make it work. As for your edited comment, economic realities always get in the way of even the most relatively benign of the socialist species, like Castro for instance. ‘Fairness’ and the real world of economic self-interest are two totally disconnected subjects, which cannot be forced into co-existence no matter what species was in charge. Even if that species resorts to the extremes of violence and murder to try to do so, as with Stalin, Mao, Kim & Pol Pot, or of nice speeches and exhortation like Chavez, Castro, Lenin & Ortega.

@@Benzknees Wot u talkin 'bout about boi? Labour are only proposing to restore the same economic model that saw Britain through a couple of world wars and then the recovery of the 50's and 60's, despite handing back an empire. It's the same model that works fine elsewhere in Europe. Even the Victorians saw the benefit of having the post and utilities in public ownership.

Hillary Trump - So you want to go back to times when the majority had no inside toilet, no bathroom, no car, no fridge, no TV, no central heating, no foreign holidays, limited tertiary education, and limited opportunities to change jobs or start businesses? Britain grew slower than all its major competitors from 1900-1980. It has grown faster than most since 1980. And that has transformed the lives of the average person. The sole reason for this is that the economy became more efficient, through deregulation, privatisation, lower taxes to incentivise investment, businesses and individual workers. Advocating a return to the policies of a less successful economic past is madness. Especially when you can see exactly what a more intrusive state has led to in countries like Italy, Greece, France, etc. in terms of low growth, high unemployment. Or when you can see what happened in Britain, when a private Railtrack became a public Network Rail, now needing double the number of staff to do the same job, much larger subsidies, and a record of producing the majority of delays on the railways.

Perhaps not, but that did happen, as did the sell off of so much of the national infrastructure and service wealth. We exchanged that for foreign companies which hoped to access the EU market easily and don't invest in the country. None of that can happen again, there is nothing for the private corporations and companies to sell off now; only a reduced currency value and the increase of trade imbalances for the UK. You ma not have had a pot to pee but I bet you had a place in society.

False wealth created by a short term financial strategy does not make modern Conservative policy correct, it is destroying its own back yard. Nationalism may not be the complete answer, but a mixed economy works well in many countries with a recourse to home investment and an eye to the future. The Tories have proven their backwardness with full employment policies in an era when that is simply wrong; modern technology has arrived, and industrialism has died. At least the time in opposition has seen creativity emerge within Labour. Perhaps on one hand you agree with Dutch businesses owning British buses, or American multinationals supplying your breakfast and Spanish banking giants buying up your building societies but on the other want to retake Britain from the European and global market? Which is it to be? This is the problem with the cheap right winger soundbites hijacking patriotism to their policies which hide huge tricks up their sleeves.

Yes you do that ..Waste your vote ..Sorry to bring you back to reality but labour will never get in power....
