Government cancels Forgemasters' nuclear press loan

The government can't afford a loan to Forgemasters to keep Britain in front with technology? A LOAN, paid back with interest, creating jobs for taxpaying workers to boost the failing economy. We can't compete with the third world economies when it comes to mass manufacturing so where do we go from here? Oh yes lets go red, sorry it's now green, spending millions buying unproven wind farm technology and then still have to buy our nuclear power stations from overseas suppliers at extortionate prices and 'dubious' quality/safety. P.S. Let's not confuse Thatcher's refusal to support old subsidised failing industries with the current 'naive' cabinets' refusal to suport new profitable growth industries, they are not the same, don't let the argument be swayed that way. Finally( tongue in cheek) can we pass a law that says politicians must have spent a minimum of 10 years after 'Uni' working in industry and learning the real world prior to entering politics!! (maybe not so tongue in cheek?)
