I really don't think that we care whether or not the public give us their support. In reality, we fully expect the old cliches of Surrey based, £200K pa, wife and 3 kids at private school, country mansion with a paddock and ponies, Merc and Range Rover and horse box on the drive to be rolled out by the Daily Mail. We stand on our own two feet (x 3000) and will try to make a stand for the honest workers in the country against the lying, thieving arrogant that run industry and politics in this country.
The stereotype that you mention belongs in 1970’s, along with the steadfast attitude that working practices established decades ago can be the only ones on the table.

It’s amazing that you really don’t care if you get any public support, because it’s that same public that buy airline tickets.

Business is not unlike evolution, it’s the not the biggest and strongest that survive, it’s those that adapt to changing conditions the fastest. Move on to the brave new world, or just go down the same path as the dinosaurs, ultimately your call.
