    Don't read the Mail, Express, Sun and Borisgraph and believe all the Corbyn and immigration hatred, or anything else for that matter

    Much as I don't trust those papers I think the Express are right on the nationalisation plans which have been reported elsewhere such as this:

    They will pay "market value" for the shares but before that time they will ensure the share price drops like a stone.

    Suspect that the entire issue will end up getting bogged down in the Courts. Be plenty of time for people then to see the full implications on their own finances. As markets react.

    I wouldn't dream of worrying about the garbage in the scaremongering Right Wing Press owned by tax evading millionaires who won't even live here. Yet can wax lyrical about how Britain will be stronger on its own.
    Let's face it these were the same papers who supported Fascism and the Blackshirts.

  • Simply posting a link without any comment seems a bit lazy to me and could also be a way for bots to spread propaganda. The forum should think about this a bit.

    The subject of this article is related to this forum. Everyone can make up their own mind on the content. In general, while Corbyn’s Labour are now claiming that the BBC, Channel 4 and even Independent are “right wing”, it is better to comment on the contents of the message than on the messenger. The latter has the advantage of being easier.

    Although there seem to be some Brits really keen on “free” broadband etc, suspect there is enough common sense around to keep Corbyn out of number 10 so none of this would actually happen. If it did happen, Corbyn would be aware that both courts and media would be a problem for his plans. Many of the regimes he supports found ways to deal with these problems

    I think the Daily Mail briefly supported fascists, but did any of the others?

    Nationalising Openreach would only come to fruition with, what, a British Cheka? Hmm...

    How is any of that even relevant? Not the same editor, not the same journalists. “White poppy” anti-war movement supported Nazis after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, but that does not make Corbyn a Nazi. Before his time.

    Not just USSR that muzzled press and the courts. Corbyn worked for Putin’s propaganda channel RT and Ayatollah’s PressTV. He was very supportive of Assad, Cuban and Venezuelan dictators. They all have great experience in this field.

    Not forgetting his and Ms Abbott's support of East Germany. A country where Simon Wiesenthal equated the Police (Stasi) to the Gestapo and where they built a wall and shot anyone trying to leave.
