Slightly sweeping statement there Amelia!! Its a genuine question, I am long removed from even remembering anything about Orgreave and obviously it doesn't reach the news channels over here!!
Let me also pose another question, on here the decision to remove all blame and cause from the Liverpool fans was almost unanimously criticized, but if this Orgreave affair goes to its final conclusion are we to assume that we will absolve all blame away from the miners as well?? I have no doubt the police used tactics that were wrong but lets not pretend that the miners during that whole strike were angels!!
