British Chambers of Commerce director general John Longworth on Corbyn speech 29/09/2015

Business will not like the thought of an interventionist state propping up failing companies, renationalising utilities, dismantling parts of our defence industries, entrenching welfare dependency, or reforming education without tackling the real issue: preparing young people to make their way in the world of work.


failing companies <<  The current government does this when it bails out rail companies, pays fees to private companies when they fail to carry out their contract but still re-employs them for other tasks, and the previous Labour government, with crossparty support, bailed out the banks. Corbyn did not mention doing it at all.

renationalising utilities
Why would businesses, except rail businesses (who are going to renationalised in light of failing to do their job in a way which is good for their customers..)worry about it? In fact it may save them money with employees making it into work on time more often and free up disposable income if fares rise, allowing their products to be in more demand, so on, so forth.

dismantling parts of our defence industries -- Corbyn said only if they are making sure to replace the jobs with other high end engineering jobs.

entrenching welfare dependency --  Don't remember that.. think it's called filling in the gaps, giving people money - again to pay for the companies' products. Or giving them a better standard of life - which should improve productivity and happiness of the workforce.

education - should be about what is taught in the classrooms - didn't hear anything about that, but he wasn't attacking it at all either...


I would bet they're all more worried about how much money they might have to pay in tax..  Think of this - when you see someone in an expensive car.. the money paid for that could sustain a life of someone who 'lives within their means' in some places. Cut the bullshit.
