Hell its a good job you weren't around when Brother George was Leader of HBC, when he was a director of around seven companies carrying out contract work for the council

Which around seven companies would they be. I also believe you do yourself a disservice by attacking someone who is no longer with us.

You mean the same person your lot stabbed in the back after years of service, so much so the he ended his political career with the Lib/Dems. The companies were all registered at companies house and were connected with Barnfield Construction.

That arguement dont stand up to me at all, investment on a good payback makes far more sense cuts must be made no question, but commonsense of these new incumbents is also in question to me.

Well, having had a look at the story surrounding this ,
Sheffield Forgemasters' nuclear ambition | In-depth | The Engineer
and here,
BBC News - Sheffield Forgemasters' £80m nuclear parts loan axed
It is very sad, yes cashy may well have a point.
I do disagree that it is back to the 80's though, any jobs through this would take a few years to come.
