Again? Cheaper foreign imports have nowt to do with it at all though eh? It's Nigel Farage & Brexit's fault no doubt?

Scunthorpe is one of the few sites in the world that can produce rail tracks and IIRC can produce them longer than any other site in the world. What’s left of British Steel is left because what it largely offers is unique or limited, nothing to do with cheap imports really.

So what is it then? Are you trying to blame it on Brexit?

Reading the story, they seem to cite a lack of European demand and the escalating trade war between the US and China. Doesn’t scream “specialist products” to me. Of course this may be their cover story, as it is awfully convenient that their deadline is the day before European elections.

I’m not trying to say anything. If you bother to read the article it tells you what British Steel has said.

I lived near Scunny for a long time. It has been on dodgy ground for a lot of years. It is good making specialised items as long as there is a market at all times to keep you going.

Under TATA ownership the site had lots of investment. We supplied loads of hardware into their for substations for upgrades and refurbishment. They’ve laid the blame clearly at the door of brexit, everything from having to settle their carbon bill due to brexit to the falling pound (apparently that’s supposed to help our manufacturing industry).

The crisis in British steel has been 40 years in the making
40yrs eh? Just a coincidence...or anything to do with "The view from Brussels is that there is little sense in propping up steel plants that are losing money when the world is awash with unwanted steel"? There are plenty of other awash industries they feel obliged to support.

He threw a punch didn’t he? Don’t think anything happened to those who egged Prescott or Milliband (aside from Prescott throwing a punch).

He planted an egg on his head. Corbyn made great play about feeling threatened and needing extra security
Not as much extra security as a certain Jewish MP who received death threats from Corbyn supporters but hey ho

Maybe it is the 'climate' given death threats etc toward politicians now as opposed to then. Adds gravity to the situation & tbh I think irresponsible behaviour

It certainly does. After Farage and his ilk have already helped drive someone to murder an MP we can’t be too careful.

Harsh to blame him & his ilk directly isn't it? People felt very strongly about the invasion of Iraq & many other things but don't go around murdering MPs over it. The guy was driven by a mental illness I would say

I’m not blaming him directly I said “helped drive someone to”.
If you’re going to constantly use words like “traitor”, stoke division between groups and suggest picking up a rifle if his desired outcome isn’t achieved then you are going to push people who are on the edge into doing something crazy.
The guy was found to be sane and his mental issues mainly linked to depression so weren’t a factor in the murder.

He did indeed have mental illness. As did anyone else committing acts of terrorism in the U.K.. Sane people just don’t go around shooting people, running down people, stabbing people etc in the street. It’s as simple as that. People like Stephen are hate preachers. It really shouldn’t come as a surprise that people incapable of a normal thought process latch on to what hate preachers have to say and then react in the way they do.

Traitor May has included the option for them clowns to vote for a second referendum then if her deal gets through...

So much for a public vote being democracy, yeah. Down with those workers' rights too, we don't want any of that!
Anyway, it's only a vote on whether to hold one or not, so it's entirely possible they could pass it, and then not have a referendum.

At some point the country will leave the EU - this is a cast iron certainty - I accept a soft exit needs to be implemented and this is what should have been worked on but a second referendum of in and out again will have the same result

With a far clearer idea of what people are actually voting for, it would be far easier to take.
The last referendum was far, far too vague. With an actual choice ahead of them, then it's far easier to accept a result, rather than eleventy billion people all clamouring for something completely different.
Or... we let de Pfeffell lead us out with no deal, and destruction.

As an aside, what I find remarkably bizarre is that May's talks with Labour break down and then, on the surface at least, she appears to have given them much of what they want.
Somewhere, there must be a catch and all is not what it seems!

When it eventually falls apart you mean because there's zero chance of Britain leaving before then. The traitors and collaborators will make certain of that.

You and your ilk are far more of a danger than Farage.
Absolutely wrong. Farage is at fault for lying and winding people up. People are voting to take the EU in the direction they want it. Nobody is interested in the details of how it is run. They are electing people to represent them in the EU parliament and their governments are already represented in the EU council.
