It was a pretty good Judas Priest album but I don’t know if they should nationalize it

British efficiency again. Close their last steel mill, and THEN nationalize the steel industry.

Clowns.

Because government bureaucrats know so much about producing steel.

All the UK needs is their version of 10-289.

The real version would no doubt be far worse than what Ayn Rand came up with.

The ChiComs own the steel plant. And the incompetent, socialist UK government wants to nationalize it.

I actually don’t know who to root for here.

Good question.

They're probably better off with the Chinese running it.

Keir is woke. He'll require the plant to run on solar power or something like that.

That's the ticket. The UK has destroyed how many industries by nationalizing them? The coal industry is dead in Britain. The last coal fired electric generation plant closed last September.
