Caller tells Labour candidate why free broadband policy is the "worst idea ever" 

This really doesnt though, yes he knows enough but its all from the ISP perspective which is service providing not infastructure. Most of his numbers to do with access were wrong. He obviously himself hasnt read the manifesto but to be fair this labour mp doesnt seem to know much more than he does

No he thinks he knows his stuff. He is comparing the coverage with 2010 with a failure to the then Labour govt? Technology and coverage had advance globally since that time and now. That is the factor.

Plus he mentions "magic money tree" in regards to Labour policy at the end. A bit of a giveaway that he's a mainstream brainwashed individual ignoring the "magic money tree" that the Tory govt had for DUP, Corporations etc.

Amanothali A thanks, but I ain’t brainwashed. There’s no way they can run the Internet on £230m when Openreach spend £900m a year on wages alone.

It doesn't matter whether he knew his stuff or not. His aggro is that his business could collapse overnight. His concerns are legitimate for him and his business but it's not legitimate for the wider public and society that would benefit from wider access to internet and potentially free...

Brilliant.

Correction: he said 17 not 70

No major country in the world has free broadband, the UK in area is 1 and 1/2 time larger than South Korea with a less centralized population than Sth Korea. Japan national debt is over 200% of GDP its economy is also about 45% bigger than the UKs and Japan has a more centralized population than the UK, its population is also almost double the UKs. Why he would use Sth Korea and Japan as examples is beyond me. Comparing the UK to South Korea in reference to the internet market or infrastructure is not a clear parallel you can draw.

Broadband in Japan is free for Businesses I believe....

@@insomniacbritgaming1632 I cant find a source anywhere for your claim. From what I can tell all internet service providers in Japan are private companies. I even went to the website of some of Japans largest internet providers (Google translated the websites for me) there websites have pricing for broadband for business. So I'm pretty confident business pay for broadband in Japan.

@No Place To Hide "Free broadband will increase productivity, technology and business" you have evidence to support this claim yes? Calling it FREE is complete and utter lie, Whether its provided by the government or by consumer's purchases someone's footing the bill. If its funded and payed for by the government you still paying for it, the government has no money of it's own, the government can only get money from two places on a large scale taxation and borrowing and borrowing has to be paid back with interest through more taxation. So what every Labour claims it will cost, others say there wildly under estimating the cost. But just using labours figures to build and run a broadband network to the home add the debt payments on top of that coast.

Sounds to me like the caller never bothered to read the manifesto.

Suddenly, that policy of free broadband doesn't seem like such a dumb idea. I apologise for ever thinking it was.

It's completely ridiculous to claim that broadband coverage in the UK is less than 10% and MPs uttering complete untruths like this should be held accountable. In 2017 it was comfortably over 80%. What this person may be speaking about is the newer form of ultra fast fibre broadband which as far as I'm aware is currently at around 8% coverage. As opposed to standard broadband. Which is obviously not the same thing as saying there's less than 10% broadband coverage in the UK. So this guy either doesn't have a clue what he's talking about or is deliberately trying to mislead people with sleight of hand.

There must be a lot of bloat in the private sector then.

@@CoffeeConnected labour never claimed there was less than 10% internet access they said the uk like you said only has access to less than 10% highspeed which is true btw highspeed is considered 70mb/s or 7mb which is not actually very fast in 2019 Japan and Korea both offer depending on region 200mb/s 20mb for less 25 quid a month most places offer free internet due to the abundant infastructure (Korea)

@Zuul Gatekeeper I have commented on this elsewhere. I'm not interested in party politics but I do remember Britain's remote countryside ten years ago. There should have been fibre to each village and 3G to every Hamlet and farm. There was none and that was shameful ten years ago. We really need a govt mandate to get high speed connection everywhere within 18 months. Give the Telco bosses a tax break and a funny handshake to make it happen.

@Zuul Gatekeeper You need to check out the figures for the debt under the Conservatives. From 2010 to 2019, total gross government debt (1) increased by £643 bn from £1.2 trillion to £1.8 trillion. Conservative voters dont tend to digest facts very well. If you vote for Johnson you are no different to Americans who vote for Trump.

@Shihab Rahman Stop being so naive. Government subsidized systems cost vast amounts of money, not only because of the default cost, but it'll end up costing twice as much because of increased bureaucracy; bureaucracy that private companies simply don't have. On top of that, knowing politicians, it'll most likely end up costing double what they estimate. There's no such thing as a free system, not even within socialism. There's *always* a monetary cost that someone has to cover and you, the citizen, is the primary income for the government. If you get your broadband connection for "free" from the government you'll just end up paying for it in some other manner such as increased VAT, electronics tax, or a silent (meaning they don't tell you about it) so-called "IT tax". The only thing this Labour representative is really saying is that you won't pay to a private company through a bill in your mail. The status quo still remains the same but with one exception: the government is now in direct control of your ability to access the internet. Cost doesn't go away just because you were promised free stuff. It'll just be shifted from one place to another, in this case from a bill in your mail to taxes, and you'll still end up paying for your broadband connection.

@@ReviewMarineProducts countries that have gone full socialist have tended to fail. However those that have used socialism with abit of capitalism thrown in have done much better. Take the nordic countries, they pay higher taxes but in return they have a system that works, with the people living in such countries tending to be much happier. I didnt agree with the broadband policy, nor did I with some others but when we live in a country with in work poverty at the level it is at, with more cuts coming to councils etc. Then something has got to give. Do you not agree that we, as the 6th wealthiest country, should be thriving much more than we currently are? I'm not some loony lefty as many seem to call us, I'm relatively moderate but I am tired of seeing so many struggling and I want my children to grow up with similar opportunities that I had, labour is far from perfect but at least myself and my loved ones would be considered a little bit more.

@@emziilouuu This isn't a capitalism vs socialism argument - all western democracies run heavily socialised capitalist economies. The only debate left is the degree and, consistently, those with higher degrees of social spending always occupy the first few spots in the quality of life/happiness indexes. At some point, large swathes of lower/middle income people have been convinced that the 'liberals' or the 'lefties' (depending on whether you're in the US or UK) want to destroy the middle class with tax and spend polices. This is quite a feat given that the spending they are talking about would benefit the very same people who they are convincing it is evil. So they keep voting for ever widening wealth disparity driven by supply side economics - and watch the middle class being destroyed.

Tbh I would privatise the air.

Pull the other one. It’s dirt cheap and readily available everywhere. Plus the policy is making a case for begging for a ballot.

the torys made its so ISPs keep a record of all the websites you visit they also made it so that the MPs who voted for this dont get recorded while everyone else does

What about a free NHS.

True. Also, we could start copying their general attitude towards studying and working, not to mention their civilised manners towards others and the elderly.

The Japanese also have a problem with the religion of pieces . It’s well documented . Lots of BAME also involved with the tourist red light areas of roppongi .

Also their tackling of drug crime.

But then we’ll copy their increasingly ageing population and ongoing recessions. But sure, less dark-skinned people

@@theguru210 that is wrong. There is nothing wrong with an aging population and a declining population. It doesn't make a resession at all. The only reason they need more people is to make GDP line go up, but if you had less people you don't need as much GDP.......

Go and ask the tories for free anything and see where that gets you. You wouldn't have the NHS. If it had been up to the tories! Poor tories are dumb!😂😂😂

Guy Fawkes can I have a pink sparkly unicorn please?

Cesar Cesar Chavez why should anyone get free anything?

@@deborahsutherland8324 It's not free, we pay taxes and currently get very little for them.

trish armitage I do agree with that

We already have the Snooper's Charter.

No we just let corporations do that instead

@@RMH5.0 a corporation goes out if business if it loses customers. The government will still collect your taxes with the threat of force, whether they turn your internet off or not.

The internet is already free - ISPs have been taking the absolute p155 The frequency the internet runs on was discovered, it wasn't invented; eventually people will work out they don't actually need ISPs and can build devices to latch onto the frequency themselves, the govt. knows this, ISPs certainly know this at some juncture. ISPs ought to think themselves lucky that they've managed to get away with it for as long as they have.

@@Baddaification let me guess this " device" is mainly made of tin foil ?

@meder I don't vote - nor would advocate voting for anybody; I was just informing fen that the frequency the internet runs on was discovered; ISPs are no different to those that provide water to your taps; in essence.

@@snowflakemelter1172 let me guess; your YT account has little to no content.

@meder your yt account doesn't have any content; well amusing

Precisely, I love how they think that their data is so much safer in the hands of private *Businesses* of which the government can easily access the data if they want to.

@@ytkaci personal data was always going to have more potentially dodgy uses with private companies (targeted advertising etc). The government gets everything it really needs from the census.

it was completeley ridculous it would have taken years to implement , cost billions and , free means you get what you given and that its - and then you lump it for ever and you get fixed when they get around to it - welcome to 1970s telecomms

@@colinbrooks228 we've just wasted billions on a track and trace that was ineffective (with billions more put aside in the budget for it), so please dont talk to me about its cost of free internet. At least there's a benefit to that. As for taking years to implement, I don't know how long it would take....... but let's not be the country that only takes on projects if they are quick. Nothing major will ever get done if that's the kind of country we become.
