Scunthorpe steel plant shuts coking ovens threatening up to 260 jobs 

And the Chinese billionaires are asking for handouts from the goverment. The English government.

@@SA-ff9uc which they will get. Because its not their money, its yours.

100%agree with you .

Yip.. The Tory party then labour offshored our jobs and supply chains… I know who I’m blaming for supply chains being weaponised

Aint uk a rich country

The Tory MP likely got paid a nice kickback when the Chinese took the place over.

But but but... communism... evil of left, wokeness, labour...

Well, the British public have consistently voted for the exact opposite. So there.

@@HowDeepIsYourJesus The British public also voted for Brexit

​@@petrolhead1077 They voted for a 'Tory' Brexit. And how has that helped the nation so far?

@@HowDeepIsYourJesus It hasn’t, that was my point

Yes the same old story .sell everything off .make redundancies. Then find out 20 years later we are worse off . Sound familiar?

it is the politician you hate🫡

The UK is no longer competitive in steel thanks to brexit

That statement was made and it's extremely accurate. Absolutely insane to think that killing off the beast will eliminate all beasts. Better to be in control of the beast and have it work for you. Short sighted view to say that it there is no need for a steel. Industry in Britian

Maybe the government should subsidise the company? After all the government's actions led to these sky energy prices.

yes embrace communism. You go Britainstan 😂😂😂

Can't blame the Chinese taking advantage of dumb UK government . Government begged them to take over the industry ( kick can down the road) UK sold every off in the 80s and now we lost the financial side due to Brexit. Might as well sell off the royal family... French and German will not stupid and keep their core industry to themselves.

Get used to inflation then.

It was Chinese investors that bailed the company out when it was going to collapse. They are looking for subsidies due to rising energy prises. The government could have easily intervened and support a steel industry in this country. Not everything are foreigners’ fault. 🙄

Have you only just discovered that reality?

indians own/run it all, the irony

The Tory dream

@@3rodox Yep. They wanted a service economy. Now they've got one.

Since the 80s

They took Singapore on the Thames to the extreme... Basically wants the whole of UK to be a city state centered around London. Finance only....

Especially something as vital as steel.

I don't think you can still blame Thatcher 32 years on...

The Tories sold this plant off. So stop blaming PM's from decades ago.

EXACTLY. That SURELY should be written in law.

AGREED

Unfortunately that goes against everything the Tories stand for.

you can make it without coal but the process uses much more energy

You can use hydrogen. But you need lots of electricity for that so if the electricity comes from coal and gas there is no point with it.

Good evening steve, greetings from Germany, near Cologne and not far away from the heart of our former steel industry (The Ruhr Area), maybe you've heard about Krupp, Thyssen, Mannesmann, Hoesch. For me the above video is too much focused on environmental issues though, of course they are currently significant. The crises in my country started in the 70s. Imported was cheap steel from third world countries, even from China. Our Industry could not compete, in 1979 a steel plant in Hattingen, near Bochum had to close, number of employees: ca. 6000. The Henrichshütte of today is a museum, in those days one could hardly believe that Hattingen with 25,000 inhabitants could survive. Today it is a nice, attractive town. We built a steel plant for lot of workers at Rurkela in India, foreign aid. Some of the former steel giants restructered, highly successful Mannesmann, now a part of Vodafone, the days of manufacturing tubes for gas are gone. Dortmund (Hoesch) is the partner town of Leeds, they are in a certain way similar. We still have a diminished steel industry but it is competetive after years of suffering. - wish you all the best -

@Beater Bike Channel MFGA Yawn, another prediction, maybe one should not forget that EU members are the best customers of British Steel.

@Christina Kirschner, *Hear! HEAR!!!* 💐

Hundred percent

It’s interesting that the Gov support to a vital UK industry amounts the the cost of approximately three Premiere League strikers.

no it's the Chinese

@@XerrolAvengerII governments have allowed the industry to go global and consumers need for cheap products. This is disaster capitalist at work. We should stop looking to blame a country but look at if we want to continue with cheap goods and do we want to continue to pay the price. A system that makes the rich richer and poor poorer.

Wait until we french buy your food industry 🤐🤢🤮

That's why the locals need reminding they're to blame for this. They voted Tory and the Tory sold the place for a tasty little kickback. Paid offshore "naturally".

You don't seem very proficient in business. You can only sell something for what the market will bear. Admit it, that firm had been run into the ground and was a pile of junk. I'm sure they got the best deal whilst imposing green restrictions. Make it any more expensive and they would walk away. CGN already did this with the nuclear programme.

What are you referring to? Your comment lacks context

comply to a mandatory disgrace. no. masks not sports tests. no. total tory vaccine? no. not to do vaccines? no. pass. not.

What a meme

The zenith of the demise of critical thinking.

@@jamessmith84240 That Antivaxer fruit cake claimed that UFO's from outer space where flying above London during the queens jubilee. Even though millions of Londoners where outside watching the air display and didn't see them. I was outside watching the RAF flyovers and I can confirm ET was not present.

You've been spam posting the same thing since 2019. You rejected Asperger's baby.

I laughed at that term once during high school welding class. I remember being 16 lol

There is NO environmental way of steel production. When Mad Vlad Putin blew up the Nord stream pipes he pumped out more CO2 and methane then every steel UK factory has produces in the past 50 year by a factor of 4O. Didn't see the tree huggers moaning about that....
