And more talk of nationalisation.
Steel making from iron ore is a very silly thing to be doing in the UK. We no longer have supplies of Iron Ore and there is sufficient diversity of steel supply from elsewhere. So why is there a difference between importing steel and importing the ore? UK steel works should be about recycling steel that is already here – and it should be near fully automated.
But what should the steel workers do then? Simple - you just find an alternative job that is suitable. My suggestion is that the engineering the steel workers should be doing is constructing automated housing production lines – creating energy efficient houses that can be simply bolted together on site.
Your thoughts, dear readers?
