Transcript

00:00What do you think about the steel industry being taken over by the government because they've gone

00:05bust? Well, personally I think the government needs to leave it alone. Everything they touch

00:10is going to pieces, isn't it? Let's be fair, I don't know what they're doing with anything,

00:13so now leave it alone. Over by things that happen around the world, like crises and walls,

00:18and I think somebody needs to get a hold of it, somebody needs to get involved,

00:21because there's a lot of people's livelihoods. Do you think we could end up with a government-owned

00:26British steel? Maybe, but I think government's got his fingers in, got his hands tied in too much,

00:32and keep saying they've not got enough funding, but something needs to be done, because it's been

00:37left that long, and a lot of people's livelihoods rely on it. I can't really form an opinion on that,

00:44because I don't know anything about it. Do you think the steel industry might become

00:51government-run like the trains? It might be the best thing for it. So, possibly.
