gutted for all the workers, my husband was very fortunate to be offered early retirement 10 year ago, even though he was only 52. It was the best thing he ever did, he worked there for 30 years and the moral was very low at the time he went. It got worse over the years, a lot of the problem has always been bad management, they only find things from the media and newspapers which is not good. I still have family and friends there and feel really sorry for them all. Good luck to them.

Or maybe it's down to those who failed to control them?

nothing to do with Labour, they only had 13 years to fix the "mess" that the Tories left afterall.

Massive inbvestment in the NHS, new schools programme, minimum wage etc etc etc

Here's a view of the recent historic debt situation as a percentage of GDPhttp://www.ukpublicspending.co.uk/ukgs_line.php?title

Looks like Labour didn't do too badly paying down the debt left by the previous Tory administration, while still investing in healthcare & education. Now remind me, in what year did the banking crisis hit?
