You'd think they had something to hide?
Apparently May had given supporters hope.
Hillsborough was knocked back at least once if I remember right. Hopefully campaigners get a similar outcome in the future.

They were simply depriving the business of, well, business. There are effective ways of protesting, but going about it in an obnoxious way is going to make you look like an obnoxious moron. The police were doing nothing but ensuring the protesting was not being in any scope illegal or otherwise threatening the health of a business, to which had yet to be proven as wrongful. Not deaths were there to be covered up, and it's not disputed that there are any wrongful arrests made. Perhaps the police shouldn't to have resorted to violence, if they even did. And inquiry cannot bring alive what occured 32 years ago, simply because nothing to which people wish to know is documented. It feels like the only reason this took off is because of people who feel they were treated in the wrong manner by the police have seen a glimmer of chance of sucess due to the uncovering of the tragic and catastrophic failure of the police at h'bro football. These people are chancing at the same sucess, but I very much doubt there is much that an inquest could shed light on.
I wasn't alive at the time and do not fully know the background, but this is my response from the little I do know.

You should have a read up about the police behaviours and collusion. Or the stories about how magistrates dropped every single charge made against the miners.
Police collusion happened locally too (I have shared anecdotes previously).
Rather than being congratulated by the government at the time, maybe a firmer hand and punishment towards those who did lie was more deserving. It may have got rid of the culture unfortunately demonstrated yet again, just 4 1/2 years later in Sheffield.
