Read the heading which the thread comes under:
"Debate House Prices & the Economy".
If you don't see how any foreign company buying or investing in a UK company during this period is pertinent perhaps you aren't the right person to be participating in the discussion.

It is far more pertinent than a foreign company investing in a foreign country yet which has been widely discussed in this thread as by comparison that has zero relevance to a Brexit thread.

I agree that it’s great to have foreign investment, undoubtedly helped by the new level that sterling has found itself against the worlds currencies.

Previously any bad news from U.K. manufacturing has been deemed as nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit so I’m a little surprised to find that this welcome news about British Steel is a factor worth discussing. It’s almost as if you’re showing a bias.

If a buyer wasn't found. Then no doubt the closure would be blamed on Brexit. Politicians being so predictable these days. Well most at least.

You seem to be confirming that you count bad things as not Brexit but good things as definitely Brexit.

The problem is that Brexit was designed to improve the lot of billionaires. So if you are a billionaire there are a number of good things.

It is growing, faster than Germany and Italy and much faster than all the predictions from anti-Brexiters since the referendum who told us that by now we would be in recession. That's despite a global slowdown too.

It's barely growing, and growing less than if we didn't have Brexit.

For three and a half years we've been warned of that. It's all been rubbish.You're just hoping it comes true.

Except it's not rubbish - there have been job losses already, and we haven't even left yet. Once we do then things are only going to get worse.


I'm hoping it doesn't come true, but I need more than hopes to convince me we're not shooting ourselves in the foot.

Britain rocks!

We did, until we decided to undo so much progress.

You sound like you have a guilty conscience.

There's no action that I can take personally to aid British Steel. Like any Company needs to trade profitability in a competitive market enviroment.

The Chinese Government have been major investors in third world country’s in Africa and South America.
The Chinese Government have used those investments to build their influence in those areas.
The Chinese Government have realised there is an opportunity to do the same in Britain.

Britain rocks despite being in the EU.
We are trying to escape the EU's clutches.
