Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

let it close down we need cheap steel cheap everthing

as has been pointed out, that sort of philosophy can and usually does come back to bite you hard
leaving aside the socio-economic impact, in the fullness of time, the cycle will turn once once more and commodity prices will increase as will the products for which they are used
if wholesale dumping is allowed without check in times of glut, resulting in certain industries being put out of business, then in due course, there will be a lack of competition with just the few holding all the cards
not healthy at all

Cheap everything as long as it is not cheap labour from the EU. If you are going to criticise at least be consistent.
Chinese steel is not cheaper because their technology or productivity is so much greater. The yanks have recognised that and taken the steps to protect their national interest.

I was taking the piss

Accepted

tata have had millions in free hand outs from the uk gov have lost nothing the uktax payers have .
renationalise the steel elec gas rail water

and their pension liabilities?
2517

2517 they would soon make the pension money back simple

The UK government isn't allowed to give out subsidies without the EXPLICIT permission of Brussels, and I don't recollect TATA receiving any taxpayers money...I could be wrong, but don't believe so..

steel plants . what ever happens job loses will be over 20000.
has a conservative we must ignore the eu and re nationalise
but cut the wages by 20% to put in to the pension fund

It's being reported on SKY that in all probability the government will put some money into the Steel industry 'in the short term'...Precisely short term, like until after the referendum...

Cameron's most likely been on the phone to his masters in Brussels asking permission to hand some money out to make it appear as if they give a fig...

Cameroon flying in to save the steel plants...dream on, it's all part of the scam.

By the way, the failures are nothing to do with world economics, (as said about previous governments) and the same pair of clowns have been in charge for nearly six years.

Was George pleading in China for handouts?

Ronnie Corbett......a comedian/actor not to be forgotten......had me in stiches at times.....
