We should invest in building Graphene plants instead of supporting an unprofitable steel industry. Graphene is the material of the future and a British invention. We could corner the market if we thought ahead now. Great idea, particularly if focused around areas of lost industry. I'd say that's a far superior idea to the idea of subsidising a dying industry; replacing it with a future industry.

Although Thatcher didn't target the coal industry because it was dirty and dangerous, the oh so dynamic lefties who vilify the banks seem to ignore the fact that it would have died decades before shipbuilding or steel.

Not to say we shouldn't invest in it but I would imagine the benefits won't be seen for many years yet. maybe electric cars might increase it's use

As a dyed in the wool Tory (well right wing),it pains me to say that some form of nationalisation seems a good idea.

It's a private company and it's not required. Putting any money in to it will just be a waste.

Why the Labour MP for Port Talbot feels the need to be in India to attend union discussions I don't know either.
