The Union and the writer blame Brexit, but it is OBVIOUS that this has been coming for years. Then, at the bottom of the article, it mentions competition from cheap Chinese steel....

[DanielRedfoot]

CNN?
i wonder if any of this is true?

[moovova]

That’s a lot of new coders.

How much money did it lose by catering to muslim employee demands?

We're only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in a British steel
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel's whole future is as good as sealed

I guess not ...

Dummies.

Should have BRexitted when it passed. This would already be behind you.

You would think they would be Thrilled at the amount of Deadly Greenhouse Gasses will be greatly diminished if the Steel Plant closes, they will have Saved the Planet!

[Spktyr]

So much for Nigel and his future in a British Steel. (XTC reference, nothing to do with Farage.)

[Mariner]

British Steel!

Maybe Tata will buy it.

If you’re the 2nd largest steel maker in a country and your workforce is 5000, there’s bigger problems.

[Cobra64]

Yup. The Chinese have huge surplus steel-making production and dump millions of tons worldwide.

European orders had evaporated due to the uncertainty surrounding Brexit.

The company was turning around, but the final nail in the coffin was the Brexit uncertainty. It wasn't the single bullet that killed british steel, but it was one of the bullets.

Oh Brexit is good thing otherwise the globalist would not be using fake scare tactics.

[mewzilla]

FWIW, for once I wouldn’t blame the ChiComs.

I think the EU is conducting an economic embargo.

With the quiet acquiescence of the May government.

Now we’ll see if Brits are men or mice.

[shoff]

I thought as much
