Politics (and other political stuff)
(02 Nov 2016, 8:07 pm)Adrian Let us not forget that Scargill was right. It was revealed in 2014 from archive papers that there was indeed a hit list of 75 mines to be closed, costing 75,000 jobs. The next 30 years were of course a massive Government cover up.

Owen Jones hit the nail on the head for me in an article he wrote - Orgreave was part of the class war that ended with 96 dead at Hillsborough.
Whilst I am not surprised at this Government's decision, it does not make me any less angry at it. They seem more intent to preserve the "legacy" of Maggie, than let natural justice in this country take plae. It is in the public interest to have this out in the open. If there is nothing to hide, then why do the Tories want to prevent this from happening? Sounds like another stitch up to me.
Hillsborough and Orgreave: one police force, two disgraces.
