Not Teeside!
I live on the edge of the Peak district - close to M1 / Leeds Brad / Manchester airports...
I'm happy.

Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostThat's not exactly true, how would the banks have acted under any other government? Differently? I don't think so. Light hand and lack of regualtion isn't exaclty a socailist principle. The underlying fact is unbridled capitalism always leads to disaster. Just look at the History books.
I'm not going down the -ism route; because it's not that simple when you have Labour behaving like Tories and vice versa. All politicians pi$$ in the same pot and they've both presided over Britain's relative decline since WW1, standing back with their arms folded.

The only difference would have been in waste of money on public services and maybe a bit lower direct taxes.

I think that it is important to recognise that Teeside was part of the Industrial Powerhouse that made this country into an empire.
We should be helping them to adapt to a new world where industry is not a western European pre-occupation
In fact one could argue that TIR was the point when decline of the Empire started - if you can make big £££ whilst still being on this island then why bother going to far lands and risking lifes?

The government has announced a £60m aid package to help Teesside recover from the loss of 1,700 jobs at the Corus steelworks plant in Redcar.
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson said it would offer "direct and immediate" help to the workers who face losing their jobs at Teesside Cast Products.
Am I being cynical?
