British Steel - £1.5Bn - Good value?

[securespark]

Is there no truth in that statement?

Also certain parts of the chemical sector:

Would be cheaper than a steel plant.

According to the Govt.

The public interest test required for the government to take full ownership of British Steel will consider factors such as national security, maintaining critical national infrastructure and supporting the economy.

And once the taxpayer has footed the bill to get it up and running again, the next RW government will look to flog it off to foreign companies / their mates.

Oh shut up Woolfie.

You've blown any credibility in whinging about "government waste", with that post.

"Credibility"?

Oh shut up Woolfie.

The troll never sleeps...

Probably because as always it has nothing to offer to yet another topic

Sadly all the troll wants is to shut the topic down or get people banned from replying

I knew billy wouldn't accept it, he never has and never will. It's the nature of the beast.

That's strange I accept sensible answers to other questions of mine.
I might disagree with them but that's different to saying:

That doesn't address my suggestion, nor my question.

Not sure why the Tories are against nationalisation on this one, for me it's not about protecting jobs but more about national security. The world isn't as friendly as it once was and in a hostile environment, we need to be able to produce our own steel.

Laura Kuenssberg: Can UK afford to save British Steel – and can it afford not to?

The vote later won't determine British Steel's future, but is a first step towards a possible nationalisation.

Neither does the anti-establishment whinger by all accounts. You must scour the threads on this forum looking to get petty digs in about just about everything. Here’s an idea, why don’t you start a thread about something you actually enjoy. Try it, you might like it.

Maybe you’d be right if EVERY post I made was a negative one. Have a look at Woolfies posts. Show me one of his posts that’s about anything happy, interesting, funny or helpful, and not just moan, moan, moan, pick, pick, pick or criticising someone or some thing. You’ll have a job on your hands.

Lunch and dinner are other peoples threads - mirroring my popular breakfast thread I imagine. All top long-running threads that many partake in so some on here find them interesting or entertaining. What would you like me to start a thread on? Oh yeah, anything you can argue about. Get a life.
