But foreign-owned and so 'mothballed' first, just when demand is picking up again. Marvellous. Slaps on the Tata corporate backs all round, then. And sod the Geordies.<br /><br />And, well, how about a billion-pound tranfer of British taxpayer's money to subsidise the building of 'carbon traded' Tata factories in India, for instance? That's just for starters.<br /><br />Not sure exactly what it is you find so attractive about this company, Adam. To me, between them and Labour's corrupt band of merry nutcases, they've been nothing but a source of manufacturing devastation for Britain one way or another. <br /><br />And that's before we get onto Mittal and Labour.<br /><br />Still, maybe you know something the rest of us don't.Jon Lishmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272058035800593800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278366793340877738.post-67308053706510340402010-03-15T23:31:43.650+00:002010-03-15T23:31:43.650+00:00"One way or another, they've wangled bill..."One way or another, they've wangled billions out of this Labour government"<br /><br />Not sure what billions you are talking about, actually.<br /><br />As for Redcar, I really do feel for the people whose jobs have been lost there, but Corus partially shut the plant because they had lost a ten year steel order. Would you rather they went on making the steel and put it in a big pile in a field? What would that do to the rest of the business?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278366793340877738.post-57729154768016866042010-03-15T17:45:41.435+00:002010-03-15T17:45:41.435+00:00Lay off Tata?

They certainly aren't a scourge of British industry - in fact, they've been rather good stewards in the cases of Jaguar Land Rover and Tetley Tea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
