people being mean on twitter is news now

Or just grow up and not cry when people are being mean on the internet

lmao do people still think hindus don't hate other hindus?

they literally invented caste

What issues

and how much do you know about Hindus?

What do you know about the caste system

The caste system is a hierarchy

with Brahmins on the top

and the untouchables on the bottom

most indians i know are dumbfuck morons

and i say that as an indian

im talking about the UK

and anyways the whole terrorism thing with Muslims gets people so riled up but what the fuck did they expect?

if you keep bombing them for decades

do you think western countries reserve the sole right to the eye for an eye logic

cant wait for 2008 levels

What foundation?

Yeah but they are based on the government bonds right

the banks don't keep huge deposits, they just use the bonds as guarantee

thats why theyre cutting interest rates now

can you find a source for that, cos as far as i am aware, the 85k protection is based on the bonds security right

and what brexit preparations? regardless of Corona, the economy is going to take a hit regardless

"Losses on corporate exposures are higher than in previous tests, reflecting some deterioration in asset quality and a more severe global scenario. Despite this, and weakness in banks’ underlying profitability (which reduces their ability to offset losses with earnings), all seven participating banks and building societies remain above their hurdle rates. The major UK banks’ aggregate CET1 capital ratio after the 2019 stress scenario would still be more than twice its level before the crisis. "

I don't think it's going to do much especially with Brexit

if he dies he dies

there'd be one group crying and another laughing

Long Bailey isn't going to win

its going to Starmer

how do you think they will rig it

when

What about defence do you trust?

Lmao this whole corbyn terrorism thing is still going strong eh?

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-labour-party-ira-violence-1994-general-election-a7761801.html

That was 94

Not just that, the double standard hypocrisy is palpable

Dave Davies met Hamas leaders, but nobody talks about that

Johnsons dad went on Press TV, and johnson himself went on state sponsored saudi tv

the funny thing was

Johnsons dad was on Press TV praising Iran

and Johnson was on Al Arabia praising SA and condemning IRan

The relationship with SA

I do get the government siding with SA over Iran given SA and Irans relationship

The Yemen thing is basically a proxy war to incite Iran

It was their funds that bailed out Goldman Sachs

in 08

The only thing Corbyn has in common with the IRA is the Irish independence

and Saudi Arabia has considerable power in tech businessess right now

They're hardly a dead political group

Go with another company @Eccles free market and all

Nationalise BT again

Yes true but do you believe the level of investment that is needed to bring it up to proper service can be provided by BT?

wrong

but you should live with it

and wait for them to do it

sounds like companies problem

who's is it then

> sounds like companies problem
@faultfiction

did you not read this?

let me give you an example of how incompetent private companies are. When BT was part privatised in the 80s, they did a report on the efficiency of copper wires. They realised it was quite bad for digital communication and very unreliable. They set up a fibre optic implementation program and two companies to manufacture parts and components and they found that fibre optic was cheaper than copper implementation

guess what they went with?

Companies don't have the investment capacity to invest and widen their service base. Governments can do it

You seem to apply the logic of shit people making shit decision but you can't apply to governments? even though governments have better implementation processes

and the capacity

okay tell me then, why did BT went ahead with copper when fibre was cheaper?

cos it was cheaper to continue with copper than invest in fibre

to use the existing infrastructure and continue with a shit service

do you think the government does the same with the NHS?

I do acknowledge your argument but you're wrong to assume that private companies would rather provide a better service when they can rely on existing infrastructure and still get paid than upgrade it at cost

It's proven that government bodies operating large infrastructure do better than private companies because of the access to a) power of legislation b) capital

but it's not just that, it's also 5G

which would require an infrastructure upgrade that private companies simply cannot fathom

You need fibre cables for 5G data transfer

Yes thats true cos its cheaper and more affordable for private companies to provide service in cities where they know for a fact they would get returns than to go out of their ways to invest in smaller rural areas and upgrade the infrastructure there.

but 5G regardless of your interest is something that we would have to upgrade to

its just a technological upgrade

that has to be done

Yeah there's something wrong with win10

ive stopped updating it

yes "would"
Since the government has decided to go ahead with huawei, which is a security risk but they are still going ahead

now that would require fibre cables

which would require massive investment

well if BT or OpenReach was nationalised, the government would invest to upgrade the entire infrastructure in the country, which would then make it easier and cheaper for 5G implementation. So not only will you get better faster broadband, you'd also get 5G. Internet will become free in a few years. Already many places around the world are moving towards that.

well 5g is happening regardless

that will also happen regardless especially considering this government thinks it will achieve net zero by 2050 lmao

Yes but coming back to the broadband. companies dont have the capital to implement a wide scale fibre rollout that governments can. So tell me wouldn't it better for you to get FTTP instead of FTTC?

cos from the cabinet point its still copper wire so if youre paying 35 for a 100mbps fibre connection, and you live say 100 meters from that cabinet point your speed drops from 100 to 45

but you still pay for the full price of the 100mbps connection

the thing is, it would save the government loads of money to upgrade the infrastructure but to do that requires massive funding that companies won't do.

how close do you live to the node

the speed should drop though

especially if you're 700 meters

Maybe they probably have a node closer to you
