make another "mistake" on
#Orgreave
. Yesterday they claimed "police hit by rocks and bottles had to react to protect themselves". No. Mounted police charged us first. We know BBC "accidentally" reversed their film of Orgreave in 1984.

“…our emphasis is on getting an inquiry. Our argument is with the govt & the way they instructed the police to conduct themselves. The operational order for the 18th June, 1984, is nowhere to be found…

@DerbyChrisW
reminded us)
Different Prime Minister, same old Tories.
People in ex-mining communities are still experiencing the devastation caused by the plan (hatched in the 1970s) to close pits and attack the trade union movement.
The South African National Union of Mineworkers, suffering under racist apartheid, offered striking UK miners £1000 in 1984/5
#MinersStrike
. It was half their union's entire funds.
We remember their solidarity on

@BBCNews
Pleased you removed claim "police hit by rocks and bottles had to react to protect themselves" at Orgreave from . But why does this keep happening 34 years after your original 'mistake' showing miners provoking police at Orgreave?
“The police were used as a tool of the state against ordinary citizens of this country. Lessons learnt since then show how a National Government can turn on it’s own people.”
“The Labour Party will commit to a public inquiry into (Orgreave)"
@IanLaveryMP
Miners convicted during the year-long strike in the 1980s are expected to be pardoned by the Scottish government.
It is believed about 1,400 miners were arrested and more than 500 were convicted during the national dispute.

“This did not happen by chance. It was a massive police operation encouraged by Thatcher’s government. Convoys of police were brought to Orgreave in the early hours of the morning in preparation.”
