Indian firm TATA to shut our steel plants cos Chinese steel is cheaper

China announces import duty rise on UK steel going to China


Now im not all that clever but why cant the UK impose import duty on Chinese steel coming here?

You have to love politicians - now playing with peoples lives squabbling over the EU and China.

Close the place down it doesn't belong to the government anyway it belongs to TATA, the Indian firm - its expensive and doesn't make a profit, its unlikely to make a profit for years to come - buy cheap, buy Chinese.

Cant believe people are advocating the government prop up a loss making industry, they didn't prop up Rover when that was in the sh*t, oh and that was under a labour government.

Are they propping up the firms in the oil industry that have suffered in the past couple of years?

Oh the oil industry! I think that you will find that it is still going to be making vast profits. Instead of 30/40 Billion £/$ per year it will be down to a paltry 10 Billion or so.

And then........Do not forget the %ankers, who were, and are still being bailed out, as opposed to the Steel Workers who are vital to our national security....apparently not worth it in the eyes of the blinkered.

Can you imagine a war scenario, and you need all the steel to go with it.....oh sorry - there is a 3 month waiting list...we have got to see to the Syrian/whatever order first

The banks were bailed out because of the public pulling money out of the banks - I distinctly remember queues outside Northern Rock - incidentally they were bailed out by the Labour Government.

Steel workers are about as vital as shop workers who are less vital than amazon delivery drivers.

Sit back, get some popcorn - watching mankind collapse because of its own greed is fun, I personally want a few riots and the burning of the Indian and Chinese flags.

One bail out keeps the elite in the life style that they have been accustomed to - the other one keeps people from going on the dole and threatens National Security ....have a guess which is which?

We really are at the bottom of the barrel when the country is being flooded with terrorists ( a threat to National Security), and then a further threat to National Security when we cannot manufacture our own tanks.

It is time for the Armed forces to step in to save our country from the crooks in suits.

Not when there's 20 odd other member countries in the EU's pockets.

You were warned what to expect was coming in 1984,the only thing our leaders did not envisage was the number of citizens having to access food banks in the 21st century to feed and sustain their families in what is supposed to be a civilised UK.

Grandad - you might find this interesting

Extract from BBC News site:

I wasnt being facetious - Id seen it before and found it hard to believe

"Call me Dave doesn't know what to do." He's blinded by his mistress Heir Merkel.

This article seems to contradict the BBC article.
