'Crazed Communist scheme,' PM Johnson says of Corbyn's plan for BT

Fri, 15th Nov 2019 12:44

LONDON, Nov 15 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris
Johnson said Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn's plan to
nationalise BT's network was a "crazed Communist scheme".

"We are funding a huge programme of investment in our roads,
in telecoms, gigabyte broadband, unlike the crazed, crazed
Communist scheme that was outlined earlier on today," Johnson
told Conservative Party activists.

Johnson, speaking before a campaign bus emblazoned with the
slogan "Get Brexit Done", said delivering Brexit would clear
Britain's arteries.

"It will be something that clears our arteries, it will
unblock our system, it will get us back on our feet and able to
take advantage of all the things that we want to get from
Brexit," he said.
