It was interesting to note the contrasting attitude of the government toward the ending of steel production at the Corus Teesside cast products factory near Redcar. Unlike the still rising £860.billion in bailouts and subsidies that their friends in the banking industry have enjoyed, No offers of help have been forth coming from business minister lord mandelson. infact, In his interview on the BBC radio 4’s world at one he didn’t even offer his best wishes to the 1700 workers who now face being laid of indefanitly just weeks before Christmas.
How predictable that the labour government so enraptured with the city yesterday saw Alistair Darling fail to sanction a windfall tax on those bankers who ,having had their skins saved by taxpayers money just a year ago are now back to awarding themselves obseen bonuses as though it hadn’t happened,
While just two hundred miles north in a town full of generations of loyal labour voters, 1700 peoples livelihoods are allowed do be tossed away without the slightest mention of intervention.

It leaves you wondering not just what utter twats the government are, but also how much they take the votes of those in the north-east Labour heartlands for granted and what total contempt the labour government has for them.
