Do you think we should stop sending aid to India now they have pulled the rug from under our steel industry?
WTGrape were we sending aid to a country with a space program anyway?

No Essex we aren't all like you, money is not that important that I watch where I spend every penny, I'd sooner buy quality over quantity and if that's British steel then so be it, yes it's true you can't avoid the China impact but there are many other countries that produce quality goods and if the style of the good is to my liking I'll pay the price for it. Unfortunately you come from a part of the world where money is king so that's all you'll worship. Another reason I'm glad I'm not from Essex!
The banks,?I'm afraid that I don't think that I can answer this poll,, the questions asked do not warrant a simple answer.
As for the UK people bailing out the bankers, I think that you'll find that we actually bailed out the banks. If we hadn't have then it would have had enormous repercussions for many businesses and private individuals... many would have gone to the wall which would have had even further repercussions.... On a side not though,, I do not believe that the bankers should have gotten away, what seems to be "scot free" though and many of them should have been prosecuted and/or disallowed from working in the financial sector ever again.
Now, as for the steel works... I really hate the fact that we seem to becoming part of "China PLC"... If we lose the UK steel industry we will end up being held over a barrel. Now I'm not saying that any industry should be propped up by us "just because" but we have to remain something more than a nation of shop keepers and "Barristas"
