More steelwork jobs to go

Recommended Posts

Why do we not use British produced steel for our own infrastructure, and also ensure projects for British workers? Add in the cost of funding the unemployed created by buying in from abroad, and it probably isn't that much cheaper to outsource these jobs.

 

I believe other countries like Germany are far more likely to provide work for their own companies and people. We should do the same.

 

Do you buy British made cars and other goods that use British steel?

Can you not read one of the many posts ECCO has posted answering this, that you continually ask?

Surely you are trolling now. You need to go and answer that question for yourself instead of expecting people to answer such basic questions that you don't know the answer to.

 

The UK car industry is in very good health.

Just because Nissan builds cars in this country doesn't make it a British car. The workers have jobs and pay taxes in UK, but all the profits go to the parent company overseas.

 

Apart from a few specialist cars, most of our British car industry has been bought up by foreign companies

I didn't ask about it being a British car. I asked "Do you buy British made cars and other goods that use British steel"

 

As you seem keen on the twisty turny bit I'll make it rather easier. Do you buy cars that are built in Britain by British workers using steel made in Britain? It's not exactly a complicated concept, and on a thread where you are lamenting that we don't support our home steel industry, one that is rather relevant.

He / she has to be a troll.

 

Nope. Just an ordinary, honest, hard working citizen.

 

Do you work for the government? Are you a Government troll?

I've no idea. Do you?

Please tell me how I can trace the origins of the steel used to make my car and I'll let you know. Same applies to my washer, cooker, and other house hold appliances. Is anything made in one country these days? I thought all the bits came from different places.
