I may be about to buy a steel plant...

[owl10]

And so might you.

Port Talbot steelworks, losing 1m a day, should be available for a snip.

Potentially being saved by a Tory govt.... Should go down well in south Wales.

FWIW I'm all for keeping a level of heavy industry / capability in the UK and think it's a good thing to keep it.

How many does it employ and support? £365M a year is easily burnt in unemployment benefit and local economic loss.

We need to maintain sone steel production, because China will crash at some stage.

I'll be very surprised if the tories jump in, they seem quite content selling everything else off, whether it makes a profit or not, but once a steel works is gone, it's gone.

Why can't we get the EU to contribute. They pay for everyone elses shortfalls.

remember when British Steel was the best quality and wanted world wide? Im pretty sure that there is a reason bridges built from steel many years ago are pretty much still going strong, modern steel bridges are failing quite regularly, wonder why that is.

like the Forth road Bridge then. a kick in the arse off 20 million quid and it starts to break after 50 odd years. I presume they didnt forsee the amount of traffic in them days.

I don't think the EU allows the UK government to use taxpayers money to shore up a failing industry.

Unless it's a bank of course.

While I'll always put the boot into Brussels, in this case it was Camœron that just hammered the final nail into the coffin of UK steel manufacturing.

Pity that nail will be made in China, but there you go, globalism.
