But
surely you could still get private internet in the same way that having a public health service does not block you from seeing a private doctor?

There's the kernel of a good idea there
but the takeover of a private company rarely goes smoothly, not least because when you go in to buy out a private concern you're pitting jobsworth civil servants against professional commercial sharks. Remember the Royal Mail share sale? It's an enormous undertaking even without the over-ambitious national roll-out plan. They'd be better off offering loans (or even just grants) to the existing company, with bonuses for hitting deadlines and penalties for missing backstop deadlines. At least there might be a gnat's chance in Hell of us seeing the promised result.

So
they are planning on renationalising BT?

Just OpenReach I think
But yes, hilariously, it's another ping-pong renationalisation. I think they should bring back the dotted T logo. And Jimmy Savile. Or was that British Rail? It all fades into one at my age.

Yeah, that £30 a month they'll save me by giving me free broadband will go a long way...
And fuck all the people who work for ISP's! Yeah! Fuck you, you fucking nerds with fairly well paid jobs!
Sigh. This election is greatly conflicting, everyone in the meeja is saying that things are shit for people and foodbanks are thriving etc, but for me and my mates things seem to be just fine- in fact I'd dare say things are better than they've ever been for us.
The only people who are in the shit seem to be the ones who want to do fuck all and still want to get everything that working folks have handed to them for free with a fucking bow on it. I know some people would say that this kind of thinking makes me a Tory, but I'm not- I genuinely couldn't give a fuck about *any* of the lying bastards who are either in charge, or are desperate to be in charge. I'm just looking out for number one.
Seems to me that if you're prepared to work- and work hard- things will be just fine. You'll have a warm house, a full belly and a fucking enormous TV.
The one thing i really think we could all do with is less politicians overall, but that's a story for another day.

This is the thinking that makes you a Tory, bud.
