Don't get me started! 
Many years ago I worked for 10 years at British Steel Consett works. It was the Thatcher era and we were told if you get production up the site will be saved. We grafted our bollocks off and got production up. We made it a profitable enterprise but Maggie and her cronies shut the place anyway in 1980 putting 7500 souls on the dole and turning Consett into a ghost town.
Heavy industry in the UK has nigh on been wiped out.
