IMPORTS of cheap Chinese steel bankrupt British Steel, so we “rescue” British Steel by selling it to these same Chinese for £70 million, so our expensive steel has presumably now also become cheap Chinese steel.

During the past year our government has borrowed £15 billion to give away as foreign aid – largely to countries who don’t like us – a sum that would have rescued British Steel 214 times.

This is how our finances and import controls are managed by government. 
You could not make it up.

IF I am to understand things exactly, British Steel, the great industrial personification of our empire and united strength, is now being purchased by the Chinese. This must surely be one of the greatest achievements by any British Government since we won the Opium Wars.

It surely defies the credulity of even the most naive elector that the people who have brought us to this have the gall to face us at the polling stations. Let us be rid of them and make our own decisions.

WHAT we are witnessing is the end result of a series of weak governments none of which had the balls to place tariffs on Chinese imports; aka cheap foreign crap! Because that is all we had to do to save our own steel industry: block cheap foreign crap! Now China has saved us. You couldn’t make it up!
