Steel produced abroad again as with the Germany produced tracks and coaches for Edinburgh Tram build. Too costly to taxpayer, recent examples of capitalist decisions to globalise theft of world resources at a cost to UK self sufficient re-industrialisation.
The ‘inevitability’ of further poverty cost to the working class – after the 2008 economic crash – has to be justified by a ruling class to maintain its economic dominance.

We now experience a revitalised and more organised working class in a fight for life and peace in the world.
The Socialist Labour Party has a Constitution and political Manifesto to steer Britain towards Socialism.
