Change British Steel In To A British Company

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

It has been announced British Steel will be purchased by a Turkish military pension fund. Decision is morally wrong on the grounds that military's across the world are not a good example with human lives. It is not good to have a former British company being tarnished by the new owners.
