"Very interesting!! Westminster Govt are stepping in to save Scunthorpe blast furnaces and hopefully nationalizing it. Removing the Chinese. I mean who the fuck even allows such a British industry to be owned by the bloody Chinese?? Apparently (according to our oriental friends)losing £700,000 a day!!I Now then what about maybe nationalising Grangemouth refinery losing £350,000 a day (allegedly) or does that not matter because it's jobs in Scotland??" Jobs at any price? We will have to see. | |||

"Not about jobs or profits, a country that can't produce steel can't defend itself. It's about being safe and staying relevant A country that can’t refine oil can’t defend itself either." What's your point? Who's closing oil refineries? Oil isn't owned by the government it's floated on the market and bought by the highest bidder no matter where it's found. We also have enough oil in barrels to last humanity but if we switch off the taps it becomes a luxury product. Your comparing apples with melons | |||

"So the Liberal elite have been instructed to actually like war and some bod has informed them that to actually fight wars you need industrial capacity and above all you need steel. Funny how there's not enough money to build hospitals ( remember Blairs public private partnerships), build critical infrastructure ( Hinkley C,France and China, guaranteed over market value for their investment) plus countless other examples. Yet to support banking,or financing wars there's an endless supply of printed money. This 'debt' is created, and is a burden for future generations, until inflated away, or seemingly more likely by the day, defaulted on at some future date. Literally every facet of life is being gamed and nudged these days, and with the advent of AI this is becoming more apparent and prevalent by the day." Your point being? | |||

"UK governments' policies have made it virtually economically inviable to run energy-intensive, high CO2 emitting manufacturing here. They don't seem to understand the meaning of the word "Global"; doesn't matter if the C02 is emitted here or China. No long-term or strategic planning. " It's because your average politician is stupid when it comes to business or technology. They don't understand what a plan would mean. People question Musks motivation, but in terms of vision be pisses all over our bunch of incompetents. | |||

If it was that important to the Scottish government they could step in and fund it. Surely a little more tax on something that is deemed so important would be a good use of money, maybe they could pause the baby boxes... | |||

"We have enough oil, gas and coal in our own country but we spend millions on importing it. Start drilling and mining again, that’s what a country needs for its security and prosperity. " Well said, North Sea oil & gas Exploration should be reinstated And if any mines can be re-opened then why not. | |||

"We hear a lot about the importance of keeping Scunthorpe open for defence reasons , Does this foundry actually make sheet steel or is it girders/ rails . If so it won’t have the capability to change so we are being misled " This is it in a nutshell. There is only one place now that can do heavy plate via the reverse mill process and that’s the mill in Motherwell Scotland. The problem is that the plate used to do this is made from steel slab and the last place to produce that was Scunthorpe but that was stopped a while ago and meant all steel slab was then imported. On top of this all and iron ore is now also imported. Basically we haven’t produced plate in the uk for a while and as you say the mills only roll sections which is due to the systematic destruction of the steel industry and to sum it up we are completely reliant on import and completely fucked. There are companies that still specialise in armour plate but again all reliant on import. One thing is for sure though is we would of been even more fucked without the blast furnaces but again will still be reliant on import but if they shut them down then that would be it as they can’t be restarted. It’s too far gone to recover and if it did come to it and we needed it for a war (god forbid) we would be up against it as the rest of Europe would be in a similar situation. | |||

So in short there is no security in the home grown steel production. This was political at a high cost. Governments of all kinds have no long commercial strategy. | |||

Try harder "So your saying Scunthorpe does make steel sheet metal, if so that’s something the owners , British government and every media outlet that has reported on this arrangement has said they don’t .

"Very interesting!! Westminster Govt are stepping in to save Scunthorpe blast furnaces and hopefully nationalizing it. Removing the Chinese. I mean who the fuck even allows such a British industry to be owned by the bloody Chinese?? Apparently (according to our oriental friends)losing £700,000 a day!! I believe that would be our old friend Boris, who also got a Russian company to built number 10s news briefing room (because of course we trust russia?) What a guy! . Another cheap remark. British steel then as well as now was and is a very bad investment. As the Chinese have discovered. No other business worldwide were willing to take them on. I'm glad to see it back in UK hands,BUT we are going to pay a massive price for the privilege. Money we clearly don't have. Labour are bleeding money on a scale we have never experienced. Scary times ahead
How is it labours fault if this has been allowed to happen when we had the tories in charge for 14yrs.
Silly comment again. Only silly part is you getting confused. no one blamed labour. I was simply remarking that it will come at a very massive price. whether its a good idea to nationalize or not.I dont pretend to know. But Tories retained british steel by allowing chinese to buy it out. no real cost to the taxpayer. Lets see now if Labour can find a buyer. if so happy days. If not, Ouch! it will hurt
No cost to the taxpayer, expect we could never build a war ship or a spoon again thanks to that torie sell out
And we still won’t be able too, Scunthorpe do not make sheet steel and have not got the capability to ever make that.
It makes virgin steel which is in everything.
Try harder
So your saying Scunthorpe does make steel sheet metal, if so that’s something the owners , British government and every media outlet that has reported on this arrangement has said they don’t .
Get yourself on the phone and let starmer know he’s bought a keeper , it’s not every day you buy a pig in a poke and get more than you paid for "Babe step away, Google the difference virgin and blanket steel | |||

I mean who the fuck even allows such a British industry to be owned by the bloody Chinese?? Apparently (according to our oriental friends)losing £700,000 a day!!I Now then what about maybe nationalising Grangemouth refinery losing £350,000 a day (allegedly) or does that not matter because it's jobs in Scotland?? Jobs at any price? We will have to see. It's not at any price, it's keeping hard working guys in work, giving them pride,letting them provide for family and giving them a reason to get up in the morning. Think, seriously about the money squandered on shit by governments (like HS2, like housing immigrants, like a hundred other "projects" . Ffs Socialist Government????" Have to agree | |||
