      Thats right. There were 2 options. Remain and uncertainty. I ticked uncertainty.

      Though the correct question should have been "Do you want to give DC a kicking". With options "yes" and "fook yes".

        You missed off the third option "Where's the queue?" followed by "Is that really how long the queue is?"

              'In April, British Steel borrowed £100m from the government to enable it to pay an EU carbon bill, so it could avoid a steep fine.'

              Nothing to do with the EU either.

              But actually £75 Million is pretty much peanuts what I see is the backing company looking to pull out and make a buck and use brexit as an excuse for personal greed.

                The easiest thing would be to exit the EU on October 31st, simply let industry close down, declare year zero and transfer everyone on to collective farms.

                      On R4 probably yesterday, the union guy was complaining about cheap Chinese steel. So this is definitely nothing to do with Brexit, it's just a smokescreen for a number of poor decisions over several years.
