[New Judge]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-politics-50426028/general-election-2019-labour-pledges-free-broadband-for-the-country

Free Broadband for the entire country pledged today.

We're obviously building up to a free house and your own hospital to be offered on the day before voting!

good grief! What colour is the sky on this planet they live on or are they planning on having a referendum on it?

[douglas9401]

Hurrah!

[TonyV]

NJ more non fundable promises offered lol

[Spicerack]

That's it, they've got my vote.

[CrapAtCryptics]

There are no words for the level of stupidity they credit voters with.

[Jackdaw33]

If they chuck in a few hundred quid for a decent laptop I might be tempted to vote Corby...not.

[emmie]

what if like many you don't have a computer, more empty promises from a vacuous party

[Togo]

Just what we need.....a bunch of commies in charge of our internet activity. Easy way to access your bank account and to monitor your thinking. Will China be doing the installation work, or Russia?

I've heard it rumoured that Labour will be providing every household in the country with their very own pet unicorn.

My daughter is cock-a-hoop with excitement - I hope they don't let her down.

Well that is at least a promise for after the election, but not as slimy and sneaky as the Tories are offering Brexit Party Candidates before the election . They have been offered jobs , cash and all sorts of bribes , to stand down and help get the tories elected . now we know why they are called the CON Party.

But it will only work 4 days a week.

Gulliver, alleged I have yet to see any proof.

[Spicerack]

Nice one, webbo.

[dannyk13]

Why not throw in Sky and BT. as well.?

[drmorgans]

On Today he suggested they would do a deal, or buy them out, or ...

I can see why taking on the networks for utilities like rail, energy, water and telecoms might offer benefits. But "free" broadband. Why?

[hereIam]

I just heard this on the news and I literally laughed out loud ! Cloud Cuckoo springs to mind ..

[drmorgans]

They could use some of those billions to fund councils to fill all the bone-juddering potholes.

[davebro]

The election pledges - from almost everyone - are becoming increasingly desperate & increasingly ludicrous. How can any of these charlatans be trusted to run a country!

[dannyk13]

Just on the news. BT shares have dropped due to Labour's plan for free broadband.
