Brexit has screwed up the Labour party; it\u2019s in the process of screwing up the Conservatives by forcing a wholly unsuitable new Prime Minister on us (but officially, we will have to pretend the new PM is brilliant solely because it will be a woman); it\u2019s screwed up the \u00a3 against pretty much every currency on the planet; it\u2019s already sent the cost of certain consumer goods up and we are warned this will extend to everything else over the next year; British company shares have fallen significantly; and Scottish independence from the rest of the UK has been virtually guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Reminding ourselves that \u2013 back in March \u2013 Tata announced it wanted to sell off its British interests, there were grave concerns over the future of 6,000 steel employees. But now, Tata has said that \u201c\u2026uncertainties caused by the UK referendum and the outcome of the UK Government’s consultation on the British Steel Pension scheme\u201d have complicated the issue<\/a>. What this means is that Tata\u2019s previous plans, involving various European companies in \u201cjoint ventures\u201d with them, are now up in the air. And so are 6,000 steel jobs \u2013 and the entire UK steel industry.<\/p>\n

One of the partners Tata was in talks with was Thyssenkrupp \u2013 a German steel company. Thyssenkrupp has responded to Tata\u2019s latest concerns by saying:<\/p>\n

\u2026that it believed a consolidation of the European steel industry was necessary, but that it still remained “open” as to when such a step would take place and who it would take it with.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Work it out\u2026<\/p>\n

Scenario #1:<\/strong> Britain part of the EU, therefore considered favourably in any \u201cEuropean steel industry\u201d consolidation plans.<\/p>\n

Scenario #2:<\/strong> Britain tells EU to f__k off, thanks to a bunch of retards who only understand pictures in The Sun and yet who were given the chance to vote in a referendum. EU responds by telling the remainder of Britain (minus Scotland) to shove its steel industry up its arse, since it isn\u2019t going to screw Germany or any other remaining EU member.<\/p>\n

Well done, Brexiters. You may just have destroyed the steel industry for good, but at least some of you got to spray paint some racial obscenities on local Polish businesses and nail some pretty flags up on your council houses, eh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
