… is, imho, a more than reasonable starting point for your world view.
I heard Nic Dakin on the radio this morning claiming that the latest steelworks story is rubbish (follow the link here) and that the government is working “very hard, day and night” to save Scunthorpe.

Who believes him, and who doesn’t?
Who knows what to believe anymore, the last government weren’t bending over backwards to save it either. You either invest in blast furnace steel or you don’t, I wasn’t aware until recently that EAF produced steel was as flexible as it was, it won’t cover all needs but it’s suitable for rail production and I do know that Scunthorpe has had a lot of overseas contracts for rail line in recent years. Some other European countries are investing in BF produced steel but most of the raw materials to produce steel has been imported into our and other countries in the EU for many years. What is the long term strategic answer? pass I really don’t know but I don’t want our local steel industry to die completely, it’s too important to the town as a major employer in lots of different firms locally involved in steel production.
