Surely the £400 off their bills will be enough?

With the national debt heading for 3 trillion which works out at about 70,000 for every person in this country , what's another 1.5 billion matter , a country needs steel production for its own security and the biggest is port Talbot , Tata know this , they know port Talbot is too big to fail so they have a good chance of getting the government money

They'll never close Port Talbot.

Yet again TATA Steel trying to hold the Government to ransom they've done it before and got away with it and they will again.

Yet another of the Witch Maggie Thatcher's legacy coming home to roost unfuckingbelievable.

Weird how they are asking for money after they made a profit for the first time in years.

Hopefully this will mean that they start paying contractor companies what they owe them, instead of ripping them off all the time.

I said something similar to my wife last night.
Every person I know currently working there tells me they’re flat out and can’t get the orders out quick enough.

Maybe call their bluff and threaten to nationalise it? Money better spent than on tax cuts. With Surgical Truss there we'll be needing to build planes soon to attack China
