Is it in the UK's interest to retain a steel industry, even at public expense ? If there was a future war which affected the UK, there might be an urgent need of steel, for the manufacture of defence equipment. I am not sure we would wait for shipments from abroad. OK a war is not likely, but any country should have infrastructure to meet any need and i think production of steel in the UK should be maintained, just in case a need arises, The Chinese have flooded the market and i don't want to see the UK dependent on foreign made steel. Once you lose an industry like this, it is very difficult to ever get it back again. If taxpayers bailed out the Banks at a huge cost, should they bail out UK steel, so it can be restructured and be kept as a UK asset.

Hi folks I am stuck and hope one of you clever people can help me. I bought a new VW Caddy last year for work, 03/11, and after a few months the paint started flaking off the 2 rims on the driver side only. No problems on the passenger side... I mentioned this to VW at time of service, 03/12, but heard nothing back. Yesterday I cleaned the van and noticed that the paint has now flaked off on about 25% - 35% of the driver side rims. Both front and back. Drove over to VW and they fobbed me off with it's down to "external factors" and will not be covered under the warranty. WHAT is "external factors" I only ask because the guy at the dealer couldn't tell me and said that the warranty manager said it's "you know, external factors" Has any of you come across this before? Surely this is a new van and they can at least respray them? It looks really tatty... Thanks for your help in advance!!
