2. Trump increasing tariffs on steel imports - just under 10% of their business was to USA before Trump got in

As the poster says below, the UK government could have intervened. They just didn't want to...

The fact that northerners are voting for Brexit, therefore giving more power to the same UK government that has deprived northern towns and cities for decades is baffling....but each to their own.

I fear for the town now... Because the Conservatives don't give two sh1ts about anywhere outside of the South East.
Pretty much agree with you Baggy, regarding Dawson keep him!
