Harland & Wolff to go into administration

Seen the very sad news that this once great UK shipbuilding icon is set to be consigned to history on the BBC website this morning.

Incredibly sad, but it has probably been on the cards for a few years.

The BBC stated that "Unions want the shipyard to be nationalised, a call that has been backed by the Labour Party, but the government has said the crisis is ultimately a commercial issue".

How on earth will nationalisation help.....look what happened when UK Shipyards were nationalised in the 70's?
