So you think it is acceptable (or maybe your even in favour) for the custodians of law and order in this country to ignore the law, and lie to the court?
32 years ago? Fine by me.

No, we should move on.

Is that for any crimes or is there a sliding scale? It's just that Rolf and a few BBC Dj's are interested.

We absolutely should not move on.

You've answered your own question. A sense of reasonableness and proportionality applies here Stony. You seem to be wanting to deal with ideals, when the world is not ideal. An inquest is not free and (and incidentally not guaranteed to yield any meaningful conclusion). In short, it would be a waste of time and money. Maybe you'd like to chip in a few quid to pay for it? I wouldn't.

Yes, we should and more importantly, WE HAVE. There will be no inquiry. Get over it.

Scargill and his mates weren't there for a picnic or peaceful protest. They were there mob-handed to stop coke lorries leaving the plant by fair means or foul, as they'd done at Saltley. I've no more sympathy for him than I have for SYP (and that's not a great deal as they were and still are a bunch of lying bastards).How the fuck is it appropriate? Do you honestly believe it's appropriate for a policeman to hit someone because of his political beliefs? Fucking outrageous statement.

You seem happy that a government can basically turn the UK into a police state with the help of the army to justify a political aim - do you have a photo of the north Korean leader on your mantelpiece?Angry violent mob suppressed by a bit of heavy handed policing. Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.
I do not want a solitary penny of my tax money spent on a pointless enquiry about a non-event 32 years ago. Honestly this should not even have made the news today.
Can I just add that Andy Burnham is a joke.

No, do you have a photo of Citizen Smith?
