    Yep. They were all over it yesterday, sending reporters to Scun.thorpe to interview people about to lose everything and today, gone, disappeared, erased and even slipping down the Business page.

    How about this from Simon Jack



    2. Nationalisation

    On the very day Labour announced its plans to nationalise the energy sector - to howls of protest by the energy companies and the condemnation of right-leaning free marketeers - this ultimate form of state intervention would be a difficult political manoeuvre.

    It would look like handing the Labour Party the moral and political high ground by saying that only the state could save the jobs of workers from the clutches of private speculators who bought this business for £1.



    He's not wrong. It won't be done because the rascals would rather see the north burn than do the right thing.
