Tata Steel on 19:29 - Jul 15 by raynor94 | Did you know Port Talbot had a deep water harbour and what it was used for, I worked there for 42 years and your first paragraph is your normal bull, they weren't cruise ships arriving in Port Talbot |
AI "The last blast furnace at Tata Steel's Port Talbot plant was closed on September 30, 2024, marking the end of traditional steel making in Port Talbot." Already demolished and the new construction under way. I have never seen such a rapid turnaround ever. Remarkable. Al the designs foundations road layouts in ten months. No this was in the pipeline for years. They did not tell anyone to avoid Union issues. Goof d work actually. They ran out of coal in Merthyr back in 2024 so mine illegally with a nod and a wink. Even the South Wales constabulary were in on the ruse and arrested "extinct rebellion" activists who were not. I did a thread "A very strange Welsh affair" at the time. |  |

Blast furnaces were still on the horizon from the M4 when I drove there last weekend . Now will never be recharged and Port Talbot will produce now second rate recycled household white goods and flog the stuff to the what the market needs . An obvious blight on the Taibach residents who lived under the smog and smoke . Many will cheer at their shut downs . Job losses and Port Talbot Town Centre in fast demise is a debatable as a result . |  | |  |

It is god news for the town and especially the children who are more susceptible to air pollution. The people have the skills to adapt to a new cleaner existence. Llandarcy, Baglan Bay all gone. People can breathe again but have less disposable income. |  |

Tata Steel on 20:44 - Jul 16 with 112 views | Dr_Winston | I have been quite surprised by the tiny numbers of TATA and associated supply chain employees who have crossed my path since all this broke. I know a lot of people just retired, some went to Hinckley Point, and others were redeployed to Trostre but the worst case scenarios of unemployed workers just hasn't happened yet. I've got two cousins who both worked the heavy end and they've still got jobs. One is quite enthusiastic about not working shifts any more. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |
