It’s not exactly ‘hostility’. It’s just that people believe the tales told, face value, without question, and they take the hump if anybody tries to correct them.
Yes, some people who worked in the mining industry earned a lot of money. But they didn’t get it for nowt. My dad earned a lot of money because they got a lot from him.
I earned very little and they got very little from me in return. But, the truth of the matter is, miners were well behind most other industries in the wages stakes. Then, they were frauded with their redundancy payments and now they’re being frauded with compensation claims.
And every man and his dog are helping themselves to their pension fund!
