Despite your predictable wriggling and swerving of answering a straight forward question. The following quotes prove I was right and you were , yet again, wrong.
Goal posts? A clear thrashing for aggi!
This is what I said.
"2008- Labour bail out the banks and saves London based bankers jobs. Costing the nation billions.
The EU says , " that's fine."
2019- The tories want to save thousands of steel workers jobs in the industrial north. Costing the nation millions.
The EU says, "No can do , UK"
Like the old Real Labour MPs always said, "the EU is a bankers club."
I'm now quoting directly from the actual letter sent to the government from its legal advisors.
"We cannot demonstrate the necessary commerciality required by State Aid Law to provide such support"
In other words , perhaps "simplistic", The EU says,
"No can do , UK"
"There is no evidence that any earlier funding options involving government would have been lawful either"
In other words ,
The EU says, "No can do , UK"
"It would be unlawful to provide a guarantee or loan"
In other words , The EU says, "
No can do , UK"
"We do not believe there is currently any level of investment government could make ( above the State Aid de minis of €200000 that could be deemed commercial and so legal"
In other words , The EU says,
"No can do , UK"
It was not possible to fund a traditional loan financing that would be deemed to be successfully commercial to meet the State Aid commerciality threshold"
In other words , The EU says,
"No can do , UK"

It proves my "simplistic" point to be accurate and correct and concurs with what Dr Ruth Bender, Associate Professor of Corporate Financial Strategy, said when she was interviewed on Radio 5 Live Breakfast show on 31st March.
"Do EU rules prevent state aid to save British Steel?
"Unfortunately, yes."
"
OUTRIGHT LIE" YOU SAID!
UNLESS YOU'RE GOING TO ARGUE WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S OWN LEGAL TEAM. I'D CALL IT AN "OUTRIGHT VICTORY" FOR ME AGGI. UNLESS YOU CAN POINT TO WHERE I WAS "OUTRIGHT LYING "
