Tis a funny kind of deal,,

To take  back the steel,

For so long it’s been hated,

Five star  pollution rated,

A carbon nightmare of vast proportions,

Ignoring all climate change cautions,

Keep the furnaces burning,we need their metal

Mrs Craggy we need your kettle,

Stainless is what we do best

But if you pay us we’ll do the rest,

It wasn’t worth the Chinese while ,

And now they’re  angry and   fermenting bile,

Let’s hope they don’t take revenge,

And send their J-17’s  over Stonehenge,

Just for show ,no one wants a war,

In truth it’s their ego that’s a bit sore,

But the cost will be far in the future,

A carbon mess and all for  pewter.

Somehow Politicians have reconciled keeping two massive blast furnaces fed when the real owners who presumably had paid monies for the Steelworks wanted to close them down

Well so much for Global Warming and Global Trade Agreements.

China owned British Steel, and now a change of Law allows the current Government to take it back. A large proportion of the people working in the location in the U.K. were Chinese Nationals and most likely were well qualified and at managerial level.

So given we have eroded our skill levels in manufacturing how will these blast furnaces survive and do we really want them to?

Labour saves British jobs! The headlines will say and Politicians will pat themselves on the back.However, this is a short term action with potentially catastrophic  long term consequences.

The real reason Starmer and his cohorts want to keep those furnaces going is Steel for war.We’re going back to being an Island in the 1940’s where we stood alone against Hitler, we need our Steel.

Yes,now we will be Patriotic and ensure we have a steel making facility.This was not a long term plan, the plan that was being followed was don’t manufacture anything, sell it off, buy it in and be a trading Country.

And here we are,an unseemly rush to keep two old furnaces going, King Charles had no choice but to sign the decree to allow the Government basically to take over a privately run business,but Charles being an environmentally aware King,surely must see the lunacy in maintaining two clapped out furnaces which really makes a mockery of reducing Co 2 emissions.

And who will pay for this mismanagement, the people of course.We need to keep the Furnaces going,no matter what the cost or the quality of steel they produce.

We will save money by cutting budgets in other areas and by stealing money from Pensioners and those who can’t defend themselves.Not to mention the damage to the environment.

  We will have steel to build weapons and vehicles for our conscripted soldiers who will fight for what they do not know.A shell of an existence, poor education, alcohol and drug fueled team work outings and a lifestyle that they never will be able to afford,but that their parents once could.

Perhaps people in China are happier.I’d like to think so
