4000 out of work. Each of these will be claiming Job Seekers allowance plus housing benefit. Probably adds up to at least £150 a week, variable by size of family etc. They will of course not be paying income tax or NI. Total cost must be about one million a week. So it would perhaps have been cheaper to have bailed out British Steel. This is not allowed under EU regulations, that's the EU that we should have left months ago.

Strange how they can bail out banks but not this.
