Re: Labour Watch
I am Thor.....dreaming of a socialist wonderland, where the NHS is looked after, where there are enough nurses and doctors, where no one has to wait for operations etc......a country where no one is hungry, where there are no such things as foodbanks in the 5th richest country on earth, a country where people are paid a fair days wage for a fair days work, where rich people pay their fair share of tax instead of filtering it all to the Cayman Islands.........oh i could go on but you get the picture
Thats a good dream to have huh?

However, the economy will be screwed and there won't be any money to pay for it and that's my biggest fear as he will drive it in to the ground fairly quickly as well.

Re: Labour Watch
Didn't know you had a Masters in Economics Thor. Brilliant analysis perhaps you could expand a bit and explain some of the jargon youse economists use. EG what does "screwed" mean in the economic context?Thor wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 12:43 pmI agree with everything you've said.ComeOnYouOs wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 12:39 pmI am Thor.....dreaming of a socialist wonderland, where the NHS is looked after, where there are enough nurses and doctors, where no one has to wait for operations etc......a country where no one is hungry, where there are no such things as foodbanks in the 5th richest country on earth, a country where people are paid a fair days wage for a fair days work, where rich people pay their fair share of tax instead of filtering it all to the Cayman Islands.........oh i could go on but you get the picture

Re: Labour Watch
Max one of the big issues if Labour were to get in to power with Corbyn as PM, based on what has been leaked in to the mainstream press so far is the re-nationalisation of the power utilities for example, this will cause a massive outflow of foreign investment in our economy. Labour have indicated that they will look to renationalise several of the privatised industries such as Royal Mail, Railways etc. They have also suggested that the money paid will be at a lower rate than “market rate / valuation”
If that were to happen then it would be hard to attract inward investment as people would naturally be sceptical as the government of that day could at any time take control and pay at a lower rate than its worth. So as an investor it becomes a no go area for funds to be looking at and they will move their money to another place where it would be considered more secure.
Then we would see a knock on effect rippling through other areas as people start to second guess what’s next and the economy starts to tank and heads towards being “screwed”

Re: Labour Watch
Ah project fear with a smattering of Armageddon. Easiest thing to do to prevent this is to nationalise the financial institutions or introduce capital controls.Thor wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 5:07 pm Max one of the big issues if Labour were to get in to power with Corbyn as PM, based on what has been leaked in to the mainstream press so far is the re-nationalisation of the power utilities for example, this will cause a massive outflow of foreign investment in our economy.

Besides Capital makes it's own decisions. If there is profit to be made from the post Brexit wreckage it won't flee.
Are there any advantages to nationalisation you are aware of and could explain.

Re: Labour Watch
What do you mean by massive outflow of foreign investment in our economy? I’ve not got a masters in economics so don’t know what you mean. Say Thames Water for example, if Jezza threatens to take them back into public ownership, are Macquaries going to up-sticks ant take all their water treatment plants and pipes and sh*t to Australia before we get our hands back on our asset?Thor wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 5:07 pm Max one of the big issues if Labour were to get in to power with Corbyn as PM, based on what has been leaked in to the mainstream press so far is the re-nationalisation of the power utilities for example, this will cause a massive outflow of foreign investment in our economy.

I’d give up mate.

Re: Labour Watch
So he internal splits within labour are opening further by the day.
Thornberry is replaced at PMQ’s today by Long Bailey. The suspicion being the undermining of the dear leader. What a shambles the Labour Party is becoming.

Is Branson gonna take his train tracks and railway stations back to Necker Island if Corbs hints at renationalising again?
