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. Also, Labour's 4 day (32 hour) week means working less hours for the same pay, so an increase in wages. What's not to like about that?

    Essential services in the UK should never have been privatised for the very reason that the market is too small and there is no real competition only and illusion of competition created by some monopolist and oligarchical greedy thinkers!

    • @redemrys5342
      @redemrys5342 5 лет назад +6

      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 It failed: the faceless state bureaucrats have been replaced by faceless (better-paid) private bureaucrats - and big foreign corporations.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.

    We do not need to buy out private contractors. We just need to wait until contracts are up for renewal and then not renew. At Leeds City Council pretty much all services have been bought back in house, because private contractors were too expensive and in many cases were failing to provide the level of service promised. They have thus actively deprivatised their services, not out of an ideological bent, but out of the necessity to save money.
    Private almost always equals lower quality and more expensive. Since privatisation in 90s, train carriages are now older on average by at least 2 years and prices have soared.

      @AdamBennett-ff7pe 5 лет назад +3

      We use a system called RPI -K to simulate competition. When it was Privatisation it means that each years prices can only rise by as much as the RPI rises take away K, which is set at 4%. That means that the price will drop every year unless RPI is higher than 4%. As such this simulates compeittion and means they are forced to cut costs/innovate.

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.

What they vote for is the leader they feel is on their side the most. We saw that with Trump in the US. Multi-billionaire, but the working-class saw him as anti-establishment, a patriot, and someone who was on their side. The same is the case in the UK. The working-class overwhelmingly voted for Brexit, and they've seen a Labour party who has ignored the result, stopped every attempt to leave, and now wants a second vote. In Johnson they see someone who stood up to Parliament, and is trying every means necessary to implement their wish to leave the EU. And that's shown in the current polls with Labour tanking, and Johnson holding strong in 1st.

      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.

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.

Seize their assets?? Open border policy, no detention centres, no turning people away, anyone that reaches our shores is entitled to full benefits, everything an indigenous person has the right/privilege to the moment they step on our soil. They want to lower the gift tax to 125,000 and re distribute the money that we have worked for, for example. And that's not even mentioning the security of the realm.

How long do you think small businesses would cope if they had to increase their wage bill by 20% just to achieve the same as now. We pay a lot in tax and ni for other peoples benefit now, for people that cant afford themselves and i'm fine with that, no problem but where do you draw the line. If you have an open border policy that means we have to pay more in taxation to cover our public services for instance. If we re nationalise that will cost close to 200 billion, then you have to pay wages etc. Do you like paying for someone that works at the town hall for instance that takes sick days off (with full pay, paid by us) because they run out of holidays for example. A lot of people cant afford a pension but they have to pay for someone else's pension because they work for the government.
      If someone that goes to a private school because their parents can afford to do that without state help, do you think its fair that we have to pay? I remember before privatisation and our public services were a disgrace, national firms were run by very bad management and militant unions that the tax payer had to shore up with bail outs, with never any chance of recovery. 3 day working weeks, strikes, power cuts etc, we were the laughing stock of the world and the country was on its knees. Socialism doesn't work mate, its why all countries have had to adopt capitalism to survive. Two thoughts that are relative that come to mind about socialism. "Everybody is equal but some are more equal to others" (animal farm) and "the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of everyone else's money" (M.Thatcher) could go on mate but I think ive probably bored you enough...:) Just a few examples.

      Ex council house bought at reduced price during the sell off that created the current generation of overworked renters paying over half their wages to keep a roof above, fearing the hike in prices and stagnation of wages? 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. When I was a old labour supporter I was an engineer, I never got the opportunity to buy because that industry moved to Asia, where I now live, and bemusedly watch locals produce goods to ship to your shops with about 10% productivity comparative to the skilled workforce that once was the backbone of the UK. 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. I dont advocate a return to big unionism or jobs for the boys either - but supporting the FT here is not in the interest of the ordinary folk. They are scaring big money into interest politics, that interest being the movement of capital into their accounts and away from the national interest. Look at society now, kids and parents terrified, cost of transport excruciating, opportunities for decent careers for the few, loans for small businesses withheld. In 2008 the experiment went wrong, the decline has set in and will only get worse if radical ideas don't emerge.

      You do realise the current Tory government is putting the economy into recession and devaluing the pound. The economic recovery since the 2008 crash has been slow and painful. This country is crying out for investment.

      @@DubtheKing997 That depends on the public service. Railroads, for example, are a classical example of "natural monopolies". Since no one is going to build even two parallel competing railroad lines, a company in possession of any railroad segment has an automatic effective monopoly over that segment. The same thing goes for almost any other kind of public infrastructure.

    Labour sold out the working classes of this country decades ago.
    Blair brought in tuition fees, so that helped kill social mobility for
    poor kids of all skin colours and they were the ones who handed the
    dreaded ATOS the contract to interview the disabled and lie about their
    condition.
    This has led to hardship and countless suicides.
