Once Labour look likely to win, we’ll see those stocks fall in price, as they get sold off. Possibly below the value of the assets of the companies themselves.

Maybe it's part of the North South divide, the vast majority of train users, or reliant on trains on a daily basis are probably commuting into London. I've used the trains about 3 times in the last 30 years, but I do require the post office, and utilities.
As for not voting for a the party that promises to put money in my pocket, I was a member of the Labour party for 35 years, I never voted for them to improve how much money I would get. The reason I wont vote for Corbyn is because he would wreck this country, and when it falls it's always the people at the bottom who pay the biggest price. The elderly, the sick, the unemployed.
I wish they knew, or at least would listen.
But if somehow they get their way, they will learn the hard way unfortunately.

For all I know the poster could be falling for media rhetoric/scare mongering about the NHS being sold off to the yanks, when in actual fact they've been here as part of the NHS for the last 13 years at least, possibly longer.
I even linked the favoured newspaper for your side, the Guardian, to give credibility to my question.
I haven't said I won't engage with anyone about it, that's you making stuff up in an attempt to discredit/dismiss my question
If you don't like my question because it contains facts that discredit the current scaremongering over the NHS then just admit it.

Labour's anti-semitism coming back to haunt them?
Rabbi urges congregation not to support Labour
A senior rabbi has written to his congregation urging them to vote tactically against the Labour party, reports the Jewish Chronicle.
Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain is said to have written to 823 families to say a Jeremy Corbyn government would be a "danger to Jewish life as we know it".
According to the Chronicle, Dr Romain wrote: “I should stress that the problem is not the Labour Party itself, which has a long record of fighting discrimination and prejudice, but the problem is Jeremy Corbyn. Corbyn-led Labour, has at best, let anti-Semitism arise within its ranks, or at worst, has encouraged it."

Imo we are likely to have a second REAL general election within 12 months of this one.

Good analysis of each region and how it might vote, and what might happen.
Look, the Tories have to run a terrible campaign not to win, and Labour have to improve massively.
But 2017 was only two years ago, and I don't think the Conservatives have learnt the lesson from that.

I couldn't give a toss who runs the railways or any other industry, so long as the tax payer doesn't pick up the bill. I don't care if it breaks even, fine. But if it starts to drain the countrys coffers it's the poor that will pay, I won't suffer. Investment in modern rolling stock, refurbing stations, the ongoing costs are tremendous. In other countries it normally works because the state fund it, I don't believe the state should fund the rail network, as I've stated it takes money away from the Health Service, Pensions etc. If they can achieve that fine, but I wouldn't hold my breath.AndrewJB wrote:What brainwashed nonsense. Where have you been for the last ten years? The country is already I ruin due to massive cuts and sell offs so the Tories could reward their paymasters in the City with tax cuts. Privatised railways are being run so well that even a majority of Tory voters want to see them nationalised again. When the East Coast Mainline has (twice) failed as a franchise - which is to say the private venture sucked as much profit out as they could and then walked away from the contract - it turned into the UKs best run railway while under government control.
You are the one living in the past with your “state is bad and business is good” mantra. Forty years of that has led to a housing crisis, and underfunded infrastructure. Labour just want to rebalance the economy in favour of ordinary people (who you accuse of being too stupid to understand nationalisation in the first place). The economics of thatcher is finished. Greed is not good. Get with the new times.

So your worry is that it will cost the tax payer more money to subsidise publicly owned and managed railways than it would to subsidise privately-managed railways. Is that correct?

Re: General Election Is On
Andrew, you have a very miopic view on the state of this country, of course people on the streets die, its very sad, but it isn't always the fault of the government. Mental Health, drugs they all play a part in how so many people end up on the street. Foodbanks are a necessary evil and I'd much rather they weren't needed, but a lot of it could be prevented with better education, especially social/domestic education. We live in a generation of fast food diets, where you pay twice as much for a meal because it's easier than cooking for yourself. Thats sad. it also distracts from the genuine in need, who don't have the option of cooking for themselves.AndrewJB wrote:The rich have been bleeding everyone else here for forty years. Seven hundred deaths of homeless people in the last year. Over a million having to use food banks, including working people. And your “thriving economy to fund a happy country” argument falls apart on the subject of Brexit.
In modern Britain, today, people live longer, are healthier, earn more, enjoy more leisure time, more people live in their own homes than ever, more people are in employment, fewer people are unemployed, they have numerous mod cons to make life easier, from TV remotes to computers. The people today have genuinely never had it so good. Seriously, find yourself a 90 year old and ask them what they had to go through, what they had to do without when they were children.
Now I'm not saying life is perfect, because it isn't, and it never will be. There will always be people who slip through the cracks of society, and we should be there to help them, as the good socialists we are, but don't let it blind you to all the things that are right because you are missing out on so much. Your negativity is a millstone around your neck.

You really think it's a good idea to have zero public funding for railways? Really? These things travel at over 100mph on metal strips and sometimes carry hundreds or people. Do you REALLY think the private sector can be trusted like that?
And if they can be trusted, why can't they be trusted to run and fund 100% of our healthcare?
What about roads? Why should railways be 100% privately owned and funded but not roads?

You can't just promise the earth and have an uncosted manifesto.
The Tories can. No other party is allowed to cost their manifesto without the Tories calling it uncosted, but the Tories are allowed to not cost theirs.

How about getting a cheaper phone, cutting out netfilx, not buying £3 coffee's. I managed to, bought my first house at 24.ClaretAndJew wrote:Never had it so good.
£10k for a deposit on a house. How do you save up for that when renting for £400 a month and getting minimum wage?

THE MESSAGE WAS... WHAT?
She didn't campaign against Corbyn, but "the message was basically I don't need to do anything as Corbyn is so bad".
I think we're done here.
Boris will campaign far harder and win by more.

That's the problem. Spending £7/month on Netflix is why people can't save up £10k for a deposit.AndyClaret wrote:How about getting a cheaper phone, cutting out netfilx, not buying £3 coffee's. I managed to, bought my first house at 24.
You're so full of ******* ****, Andy.

Re: General Election Is On
Guys. If you cut off your netflix subscription you too can have enough to pay a £10,000 deposit in as little as 118 years.
