The government in the UK should pull there figers out of their backsides and start standing up for the workers here and stop allowing themselves to be walked all over, my partner works at the Luton plant and if he loses his job we lose our house, what do we do then? You are being laughed at for being so weak and doing no where near enough to save all the UK workers, it's discusting how you have sat back and let this happen. You have the job title you have for a reason so start taking advantage of your position and make yourself heard. Why did Lord Mandelson not attend the talks in Berlin? How is that you helping the UK workers? What good is it going to do with you sitting here while everyone else was in Berlin deciding the fate of all the UK workers. They are all out for themselves and no one is there to fight our corner and if our plants are shut or the majority of the work force is cut here and nowhere else then we know who to point the finger of blame at! It should be a fair spilt throughout Europe, not just here!
