LibDems Say Tata to 900 Jobs as Energy Deal Bites
Just hours after George Osborne’s capitulation to the LibDems over green subsidies the first casualty of the green energy price hikes has been announced. Tata Steel has been forced to cut 900 jobs, citing green policies for damaging their competitiveness with European rivals. Well done Davey.
A senior treasury source insists to Guido that it could have been far worse: “People were pushing for at least a £10 billion subsidy. Given existing obligations already entered into we couldn’t have got it any lower unfortunately – but we made it better than it was.” Tough one to sell to bill-payers though.
Taxpayers gets screwed by those climate global warming change bollocks!
Off with their Eds!
Osborne says, “fuck this, I might as well take all my clothes off and climb a statue”.
900 jobs where though Guido. Been force fed this crap since 1979. Details my man, details.
Shale gas for fecks sake. It is saving America.
Yes, this climate chance guff is a mere sideshow compared to how bad things get once we start shutting down our coal fired generators.
Net imports of gas from other liberal democracies such as ..er.. Russia, Qatar etc and increased global demand for the same resource and our current (for Europe, low) prices will seem like a golden era.
Forget carbon – it’s energy security which should be driving government policy. Problem is, a coherent energy policy requires a twenty year time-frame and investment plan. Politicians only have eyes for the next election.
We need to go back to burning coal, f”ck the climate alarmists.
Next election?
We’re too busy making fortunes and securing lucrative directorships out of climate scare scams, to think that far ahead.
Must dash, I have to get my broker to increase my green share portfolio on the news that billions more subsidy, is going to be poured into the pork barrel.
green is good. but abuse of green is bad.
just like Human Rights when abused are just Human Wrongs.
I am a geologist who supports fracking and have spoken directly with Cuadrilla. Unfortunately the reserves which we currently know about are nowhere near as extensive as has been reported and amount to about 4% of our annual requirement for thirty years. Still well worth doing but not the windfall we were hoping for.
As an MP, I am planning to put all the extra costs on expenses…
Doesn’t everyone put their heating and energy bills on expenses?
they are rather expensive.
let’s all put the expensive stuff on expenses?
what a twat world we live in.
“citing green policies”
You have a link for this?
Policies are implemented very quickly, these days.
For every job in the ‘green’ economy, three are lost in the productive real economy. Green marxism means not working.
I hated Cleggy the first time I saw his smary face on tv. My opinion of him hasn’t changed since. Does anybody actually like the conceited fool?
That should have read “smarmy”
The choice was between Clegg and Huhne .
I always thought Charles Kennedy was a good each way bet .
sanctimonious git.
does he protect the sanctity of the clit, with his upmarket excursionary visit to upmarket La Perla,s of the world.
the pearl is not the clit, it splits. it spits.
the unifier is the pea sized pituary gland.
stay out of the way, the world spits.

Look down the comments. Are you Owen Jones?
Does it sound like me?
Yes
On the “specific subjects tackled” on QT last night – Owen Jones did very well – it was eye opening to see the Politicals “Squirming” to protect ‘their friends’!!!
Wonder if QT will ever let him on again – they don’t like Hitchens either – Noted. But don’t QT love Melanie spin it up (NOIZist) commentator Phillips …
Have you a search engine for this ?
We have constantly stated that the 900 jobs lost are due to lack of demand for steel. So who do you really believe Bring Back Communism or Guido Fawkes?
Replies only on a postcard please, which will then be binned.
Pollution or jobs?
CO2 is NOT a pollutant. Without it there would be no life on earth.
Without asteroid impacts humans would not exist.
True
Prove it.
We could do with a few right now. Bradford, for instance.
We could use more jobs in Rotherham.
ppl pollute if they want…do not back away from the job.
come what may. you know your purpose, stick to it.
Since IPCC boss Pachauri is connected to Tata (its a small world isn’t it) it is astonishing that they were so honest as to say it was Greenness that was causing them to move.
They’ll move production to India, just like last time.
Well, why not, after all, you’re reneging on the backhander ‘aid’ deal that was set up in exchange for us taking Jaguar Landrover off your hands.
Or America where energy costs are far less than Europe thanks to shale gas. America is now almost self-sufficient in energy.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/commodities/9686357/Russians-keep-their-eye-on-the-shale-revolution.html
“Just last week, the International Energy Agency made headlines across the globe as it predicted that these reserves will make the US the world’s biggest gas producer by 2015, and the largest oil producer two years later.”
Cheap energy means cheap production costs means a competitive edge against rivals. What is stopping people understanding this?
Too simple and cost effective we want PAIN,WE WANT WHITE MAN SUFFER.
They understand alright.
Unfortunately our political class are vandals as well as crooks and seemingly, want to destroy rather than build. While getting filthy rich in the process of course.
More subsidy Mr. Energy-Provider?
Why of course Mr. Politician and heres a cozy share option and a seat on our board.
vandals destroy.
we can stand up?
need to encourage and support.
corruption i am afraid is a much deeper issue. there is no remedy, just stay out of the way. focus on your integrity, at least the baddies are robustly detached then. blood suckers, the lot of ‘em.
Tribal Follower Mentality (TFM) – remember it as it is my and our future.
Now let me think…. who was it “sold” the steel company to TATA?
That would be an ecumentical matter
Arse.
tata are global royalty. so it’s goodbye from them and goodbye from us?
Get those ta-ta’s out for the lads, ladies!
for those who are addicted.
to lurve.
lava.lurve.
kinda hot. handle with care.
This is going to become a major vote loser
And is already a major scandal
When you start supercharging energy bills you fuck not only energy intensive businesses but every person in the country
This green shit is madness
+ £400 per annum and rising fast. The cost of wind subsidy, to every taxpayer.
We are not happy about this at all
And a money making con. Is anybody actually stupid enough to pay a voluntary carbon tax when flying on Virgin
the best thing about virgin is that it has clear longterm goals. and nothing come sin the way. it is virgo, the virgin. it has good daily routines and is health conscious.
we could all do with a bit of virgovirginity in us. we have enuf ofwallowing un global suffering.

get of our backsides. the virginal way.
it has never been done in modern times.
Guido
“Given existing obligations already entered into we couldn’t have got it any lower unfortunately …”
Were these the commitments made by the Maximum Imbecile and his “Energy Secretary” the Empty Idiot Ed Milliband by any chance?
Why does the Treasury not blame the people who imposed all this shit on us…
Where is the fuckign Coalition PR machine?
We pqy enough people to expect the truth FFS
Why don’t the government opt out of these ‘committments’ ? They are a load of fascist one world government guff, anyway.
Because our government no longer believes in the sovereignty of Parliament or of this nation. They are treasonous mongs who are happier as satraps for Brussels.
cmmitments,
there is a time and place for everything
if it not now when
it may well be never.

You really are thick
All you fucking gas guzzling righties who want to consume and consume but don’t give a shit about the environment!
I take it you are not one of the 900 then?
I think you will find, if you are clever enough to look ( seriously doubted ) that it is the Greens who are the enemies of the real environment.
david icke….ex gereenieeeeeee.
Nothing quite so good for the environment as fields and fields of oversized windmills and mile upon mile of pylons. Estuary barrages are great as well.
I’d rather those subsidies were spent on protecting the environment not defiling it.
best energy is in nature. lets be mature. lets have more nature or atleast spend more time.
with big mama, mamabigboobsnature.
you know that nature is mature.
it is not manure.
it is mature.
Yeah, I always open the windows when I put my heating on, ‘cos I don’t give a toss.
Get off that energy guzzling computer you greenut, you’re killing the planet / polar bears / fish / plankton / causing earhquakes / storms / some other ill informed bollocks.
At least three major scams going on then, the Green lunatics Pushing the price of energy generation so high nobody can afford to use the stuff and the cosy cartel and price rigging (fuel Libor) of the Utility companies.
It’s an unholy alliance of politicians, liars and thieves alright
let’s be holy.
we can live outside the monetary system.
if notes have been soiled with faeces, why even go near.
exchange your products and service for products and services of others.
money as paper is shit.
given that no one is special.
Your social worker said you were.
i wish social worked. there is goodness in them.
We´re only now just beginning to see GREEN shoots of unrecovery.
Yet more government bollocks. Will it never end?
If they carry on in the same vein there will be dancing in the streets shortly but with pitchforks & piano wire.
You mean you will be dancing in the mud tracks outside your bothies
The Government’s energy policy is not only economically suicidal
The lights will actually be going out in 2015
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19842401
They have a been sat on their arses for the last 15 years, nuclear and coal fired plant being run down and de-commissioned with no replacements under way so even if they started tomorrow you are talking ten years construction time. The National grid will start crashing anytime soon.
Especially in the middle of the winter
Just when ordinary people (voters) really need it
What is a young boy or girl to do :
1. Go to University for three years and get what may be a worthless degree and debts of over £30k
or
2. Leave an economically increasingly uncompetitive country seemingly obsessed with gay marriage as a serious issue of the day
be economically competitive.
there is something unique about everyone.
construct something relevant from it. we can all be appropriate.
something that is relevant to us. something that is appropriate will have to link with goodness…good for us…good socially.
the idea of debt is false. everyone does what suits em.
no on is indebted,
no one is incredited. so even 7 magic rules of steven covey are naff.
I have a woodburner (which I can cook on) and a virtually limitless supply of wood. Pity about all those city dwellers, hahahahahahaha…
The USA are exploiting shale gas and their energy cost will make them competitive on world markets.
We have shale gas but we are going for windfarms?
And even – it would be hilarious if it weren’t so stucking fupid – solar panels!!!
I’ve got solar tubes on my roof. In the summer they heat the water so hot you can’t put your hand in it. Not so good ATM as the day length isn’t too good and the sun doesn’t shine a lot.
The US will be energy independent but we’ll be in hock to Putin.
Yes, we’ve kept the news that, via shale, we will be self sufficient in oil and gas for at least the next 50 years pretty low profile. And yet it’s the most important thing of all.
So we really can scale down the army because you won’t be invading anyone?
You’ll do what you are told and upgrade Trident you insignificant little pricks. Do what you like to your squaddies we do not give a shit.
Who’s Davey?
Me of course, the one term
PR Puffpolitician masquerading as a PMThe steel works near my parents was shut because of EU quotas. The EU loved by them lovely Lib Dems.
You may al become impoverished but at least it will be eco-friendly penury.
You missed something. Surely you mean eco-euro-friendly?
Please see the Deputy Prime Minister’s remarks at 93, below.
I have solution to that. Just tax Sheffield Hallam to make up the short fall. They voted the twat in, they can pay for him.
Bollocks to this. Cows and pigs produce as much greenhouse gas as industry so lets all eat fucking lettuce.
Then we can all be a bunch of right on tofu munching fecking layabouts smoking rollups (coz smoking doesn’t fucking count)
Sorry Gaia, but roll-ups are made of paper. You can hug trees but not smoke them.
And flying back and forwards to Italy constantly doesn’t count either.
But not as much as Nick Cleggy and the rest of the fib dems
eat the pig and get the energy of pig.
it is shite.
cows produce milk so should we eat beef?
be a cow and eat.
but …
I love ho fun and pad prik.
I also love Choo Wun Twaht, Suk Mee Pork, Likmai Slit and Fook Sum Wan.

We propose to cut our carbon footprint by increasing the countries population by 10%

Very good idea. If they all fart in Romanian we will get even more pointless ‘carbon credit’ coupons to cut from the top of our breakfast cereal boxes and exchange for a cuddly toy from China.

It’s the right thing to do. For me.
And your Spanish wife
I remember that little sh1t Campbell being torn a new one by Michael O’Leary on watchdog. It was pure heaven to watch.
If the current cooling cycle of the world’s climate continues, things are going to look increasingly difficult in about 8 years time. Then all the carbon targets will be junked and shale gas and opencast coal will have to be exploited because they will be the only energy sources available and ready to work.
We can still flap our arms around like wondmills and pretend to be Green, though, can’t we?
Wandmills surely?
Let’s subsidise 60 million of them, then everyone can have one.
Well buggar me with a feather! I just put a few names/locations/organisations in to the search facility on the common purpose exposed website and I found three people I know, but never suspected, who are members of this shadowy Stasi like outfit, currently infiltrating the banks, criminal justice system and the civil service etc all over Europe but particularly in dear old Blighty.

I firmly agree with the Green agenda. I know it will mean we (well you non-politicians) will end up living in teepees, rubbing sticks together for warmth and scratching a living from a small kitchen garden. I know that this will only support a tenth of the current UK population but that is the advantage. We can have a referendum on who should be disposed of. We can in one fell swoop get rid of all reactionary capitalist lackeys, and the aged, and the infirm to make room for true believers in a liberal society. Ja, und ve can place some of zem in a concentration camp to make zum clothes for us to vear. Ja.
‘and the aged, and the infirm’
Speak for yourself
Fuck off Dutchman. We are taking over now.
I have a carbon fibre bicycle. Should I turn myself into the nearest Police station for realignment training?
This green nonsense is just bad for business. Will we ever learn?
Why believe what Tata says? You’re usually more sceptical, Guido.
In any case, all their European competitors have the same carbon reduction targets as the UK and therefore similar environmental policies.
not forgetting , carbon trading and carbon tax , make money out of dirty energy idea , and you wonder how cheap energy should be , hard to tell isn it with these add ons
I like your thinking.
Who needs the rest of the world for trade?
So what if millions are living in energy poverty?
Who cares if poor people are forced by law to subsidise multi-billion pound corporations?
Let’s all swirl down the plughole of uncompetitiveness into poverty for all.
At least that way we can all be equally poor and society will be much fairer for that eh?
mmm seem to be missing the salient data on what is meant by cheap energy , do you mean energy that the tax payer indirectly has subsidised such as nuclear , or via this route ?
Of course gov could have done it as 50/50 investment project and split profits .
You also have to bear in mind what you are going to do when the cheap energy is no longer cheap .
Ed Davey is a lunatic – should never have been let anywhere near the levers of power.
Am I missing something, we pay this green tax through our energy bills,that goes into the bank accounts of the energy companies. What then, what are these green projects,who allocates the money to them, what is the “green economy”, has there been an audit done? it seems that we being taxed for an imaginary green economy and imaginary green projects. What we really need to know who handles the money (names) and who gets it.
No services in thirty years. Try not to alarm your fellow passengers.
What a fucking joke Cameron is turning out to be
We have to pay an EXTRA £100 PER YEAR IN GREEN ENERGY SUBSIDIES TO DAVES FATER IN LAW SO HE CAN INSTALL YET MORE WIND FARMS ON HIS LAND
SO WE CAN PAY DOUBLE THE PRICE FOR ELECTRICITY
DOUBLE THE PRICE IT WOULD COST TO PRODUCE IF WE USE FOSSIL FUEL

What a triumph for green economic policy, those 900 eco criminals can now look forward to being employed in the fast growing eco environmentally sustainable green economy. As we speak millions of jobs are being created every day in the modern green economy. No sooner than the antisocial planet killing jobs in the Satanic mills of death have been eradicated will those 900 be employed straight away in the many and varied state subsidised renewable energy sector.
Tim Yeo has around half a dozen jobs in the renewable green sector and he is just one person, if one person can get six jobs in this booming sector there should be more than enough jobs for the 900 freed slaves of the death factories. Yes, the new subsidies regime has truly paid off in fantastic style, and there is much more great news for lovers of the planet to come, in the months to come the planet killing factories of death will start to close en masse freeing tens of thousands of former slaves to enter the green economy.

And the twat who signed us up for massive unjustified carbon reductions is an ALLEGED perjurer!
This reminds me of the time Ebbw Vale steelworks lost jobs many years ago and Michael Foot as the sitting MP nearly got himself lynched when he tried to appease the workers using a microphone.
The only thing that has changed is that the overpaid inflation proofed pension proofed political leader is wearing a blue as opposed to a red tie .
