I've just heard an item about this on the radio, it was claimed that the owners docked the pay of those killed because they didn't finish their shift. From such people are the likes of Cameron and Osbourne descended.

My dad started down the mine at Gresford as a 14 year old shortly after the disaster and would pass by the sealed off section daily. What must that do to a young boy?

they killed us for proffit then when they could kill no more they discredited us we were the enemy of the state, all we wanted was to earn a living and yes I was one of them an enemy of the state, my arse, but dont confuse todays polititians with thewm of old today they would all bury you for a vote.
