You're dealing with principles again Stony. The world runs on practical realities, not principles. It was 32 years ago - enough said.

No he didn't. He clobbered him because he was acting like a twat by using intimidation to force his beliefs on the nation. I doubt the copper would have felt the urge to clobber him if he'd just written an angry article for the Morning Star.

Orgreave will never be investigated by tories because of Nicholas Ridleys report for them in 1977, whislch.laid out a systematic plan to destroy major industry in this country to ease it's move into private hands as the tories wanted.
The Tories were planning to use the nation’s police force as a weapon against any who dared to resist their determination to put the nation’s treasure into private pockets.
On the penultimate and final pages of the report, Ridley talks of creating ‘mobile police squads’ in readiness for what he had already termed a ‘battle’ to force through their plans – and for preparing teams of non-union drivers in advance who could breach picket lines under police protection.
So the police were not randomly rogue but following vile orders by an already laid out idiolocal plan by the party that had no issues with using the state against it's citizens.

We haven't had a good inquiry for a couple of weeks so I'm all for it, getting a dig off a copper can certainly scar you for life, plus Burnhams profile amongst the working classes rises.
Is there a petition or fund floating about for theses mucky faced Yorkshire folk?

He acted outside the law and against the very oath he swore to uphold. He's a **** and so is anyone who sticks up for him.No he didn't.
