Nope. Because the EU isn't going to care. The EU cares about the EU. Once you start letting countries do as they wish then others will want the same.If the government wanted it to stay afloat it would be working with British Steel and the EU to see if this is a viable business.
It's "blame the EU" because it is the EU. The EU thinks it's unfair for countries to prop up failing industries and is uncompetitive. If we prop it up other EU countries businesses will complain and it will mean other EU countries can bail out their failing industries which would then lead to UK companies complaining about that.Is anyone looking at this from within current government?
Or is this just a "blame the EU" so the government can ignore it?
The UK couldn't bail out Rover. If it had, then all the EU car companies would have complained.
