Dear Leader, the Commissar Corbynov has turned the election to the non issue of broadband, by pledging he will introduce free broadband to all. I'm assuming this is the same as pledging to write off all student debt in 2017, which they later renegaded on? (Remind me, which party introduced university fees again in 1998 馃)

Anyway, the Corbynated Chicken estimates it will cost 拢20billion. BT say it will cost 拢100billion. Let's split the difference and say 拢60billion. Let's say there are 60million adults in the UK, then that means the initial cost would be 拢1000 per person for FREE broadband.

Not to mention the continued free movement, which for a party which supposedly fights for the rights of the working man, woman and non binary gender fluid others, is hypocrisy of the highest order - increased population, increased competition, suppressing wages and standards. And that's without starting on their stance on Brexit which is more confusing than trying to understand why cats randomly sprint around the house at 3am!

If there are any semi intelligent and literate lefties out there who can explain this logic, please lighten me! I know that is a contradiction in terms, but I'm trying to be inclusive...

I can only assume the idea behind fee broadband is an attempt to get the kidiewinkle vote. I see hoards of vacuous teenage ignoramuses who've never had a coherent thought about history or politics in their life getting at lest somewhat enthusiastic at the prospect of voting for endless broadband without bills. 馃槦

@ThePerfectUsername Now that's what I would have said. You also have to remember that I'm too young to vote yet. However, PCs are so 1990s. We all have smart phones...

Smartphones use broadband technology too you know. As do tablets. @KatyB

@ThePerfectUsername Aye, but is he going to hand out free phones? Free wifi? Or is he actually going to turn the 5G network on and kill everyone?
