The Fossil Fuel Lobbyists are still attempting to ignore the entire chequered history of British Steel in a desperate attempt to suggest Net Zero killed it off. It’s nonsense and they know it’s nonsense.
They are paid to lie it’s a bizarre career choice 🧵
A short history of British Steel
Labour nationalised steel after the war in 1945
The Conservatives sold it off 1952
Labour renationalised steel again in 1967
By 1987 British steel was profitable and had doubled productivity since 1979
Conservatives privatised it in 1988

What to do when your Brexit has failed so spectacularly?

2. Weaponise eco protestors
3. Whip up treats of violence in Northern Ireland
