The British Government passed emergency legislation avoiding the closure of #blastfurnaces
While this seems like a win-this situation clearly needs future-proofing. A #green #fair industrial strategy would support the long-term health of the #planet 🌎🍎

After all that, #JonathanReynolds cannot guarantee that the #BlastFurnaces at #Scunthorpe would be kept going. No fuel. The coking #coal mine at #Whitehaven would not have been up and running this week. But the mentality is only too obvious. #wato #bbcwato davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/2025/04/what...

British #blastfurnaces back in government hands. Common sense returns.
A view of two blast furnaces at Scunthorpe steelworks, with their towering, monstrous, dirty installations in the background contrasting with a clutter of colourful vehicles, buildings and steel poles in the foreground.
The cover of 'Measures for Measure' by Mike Leeder Dunedin Press, Edinburgh 2020. ISBN 978-1-78046-081-9. Showing an extract from the oil painting 'Keelmen Heaving in the Coals by Moonlight' by JMW Turner (1835).
Lower Jurassic ironstone of the Marlstone Rock Bed at Wroxton, Oxon - of slightly later age but a similarly iron-rich rock type as the Frodingham Ironstone which outcrops at Scunthorpe, and upon which the North Lincs steel industry was founded.
The blast furnaces at Scunthorpe - gigantic, grimy installations which are symbols of something greater than steel-making: a nexus of fraught feelings, ideas & debates about globalisation, post-industrialisation, Thatcherism and national self-sufficiency.
