South Korea is a prosperous country that still has a thriving steel and ship building industry, coal mining's in decline recently but that's because they've dug nearly all of it up.

I went there once a long time ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politics destroyed our heavy industry. Not so much just politics as economics, although politics certainly did no favors. In the post-war era, the slow reduction of efficiency (as calculated by cost per equivalent unit) was somewhat masked. As the post-war replacement boom hit home, the nationalization of the builders hit its stride, with prices increased further as a result. The change to welding over riveting rendered huge portions of the UK shipbuilding infrastructure as costly white elephants, the work force as I’ll-trained, and the cost of steel in newer locations was lower due, again, to more efficient infrastructure and labour. Thus inefficiency of the builders in the UK, combined with the denationalization that followed, was the final nail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The complete destruction of the existent Japanese shipbuilding industry in WWII, and the damage inflicted on the Korean industry in the 50’s, directly allowed the industries in those countries to rebuild in an efficient manner, with an eye toward modern welding techniques and steel production. Maybe if Maggie had really carpet-bombed the Clyde and the Tyne, rather than the slow economic carpet-bombing she inflicted, there might be an industry there now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to disrupt the dogs, fling a real rabbit on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Jeremy Vine show is on at work and the subject is sewage in English waters. They interviewed some women on one such beach (could just have easily been men). "Oh we swim in here all the time. This report won't stop us".
