exxon   10 #109 Posted October 21, 2015 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Eric Arthur   10 #113 Posted October 21, 2015 What British cars?  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.

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 Edited October 22, 2015 by Anna B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

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. .

Anna B Â Â 1,401 #120 Posted October 22, 2015 Do you buy cars built in the UK from UK made steel? Â 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
