    Offshore/onshore?

    A French aircraft carrier, which was too toxic to break up in India, is on its way to be scrapped on Teesside.
    Obviously this offshoring stuff is rather selective. All credit to India for refusing it. Happily there is a run-down poor country available that can't afford to say no, and doesn't believe in hampering business flexibility with excessive concern for workers

    I wonder if a load of EU contractors will get the job on Teeside?

              I am sure Teeside has the technology to deal with this. It will be fine.

                    I've heard they are paying about £8/hour for working in cramped conditions inside the ship. Also remember that all the toxic crap that comes out of the ship will be stored in this country.
