Some one advocating to get rid of all competition and have a single state owned provider is Marxism in it's purest form.
But killing the British car market by bringing in all the British car manufacturers into one single govt owned vehicle was fine was it?
So then nationalising Open reach, funding the national build of FTTP with tax money, then giving the service "free" to everyone. There-bye killing off Virgin Media and any other provider, is increasing competition is it? increasing choice? or is it stifling innovation and just ensuring that everyone has the same vanilla product with no chance of having any thing different?
You are some piece of work. Virgin Media engineers out in the street now in sub-zero temperatures fixing faults, cushy are they?
All 15,000 or so employees , the customer service reps on £15K a years revelling in an orgy of greed ?
Great let's destroy a sector make thousands of people unemployed, so JFman can save £600 a year while he plays himself watching his computer.
Definitely for the many.
Which bits of Virgin Media are the Govt subsiding?
Left wing lunacy, I really hope McDonnell has a few more ideas like this up his sleeve, he doing the Tory campaign the world of good.

Save the insults that I'm a "piece of work". Your failure to understand economics is not my problem.
You are falling into the neo-liberal trap that competition is always the answer when it simply isn't. You've asked questions to distract the point - at no point did I claim Virgin Media were subsided - I said the parts of fibre rollout that aren't commercially viable are subsidised.
All to provide consumers limited choice which doesn't drive down prices. Killing off competition in this instance removes duplicate costs and delivers a more efficient outcome for the taxpayer.
