17th April 25 - Scunthorpe is on life support but the Government is flailing about with no idea what to do with our steel industry. What it shouldn't have done was given any of it to the Chinese in the first place.

16th April 25 - Todays ruling is a step backwards. Claiming to give clarity, it gaslights an already complex issue and hands a victory to the reactionary right.

Project 100,000 was known as McNamaras Morons after the perceived low IQ of the troops and Minister in charge of the programme. This was an absolute disaster as untrained troops dropped like flies. Military service is not an alternative to poverty - when it's used in such a way it exploits the poor rather that pulling them out of poverty
