Political equality @ Glasto...

In 1984 dibble were getting £100 per stitch compensation during the miners strike...

No wonder they wanted a fight. (And the overtime)

That's not the point. It was the brutality on putting the strike down that had upset people, not economic theory.

 

The miners brought it all on themselves (and I say this as someone slap bang in the middle of it all)

 

What do you expect the police to do when they are assaulted by miners? (and they were)

 

Was there "excessive force"?  Perhaps, perhaps not, but if the miners had stayed within the law there would have been none.

Teddington's 4 groups is the daftest thing I've ever read on this boards, and Matt42 posts here.

Don't lump me with a Tory if anything!

It what way were you "slap bang in the middle of it all?"

I am interested to know. I am too young, so wont claim to be, but to be in the middle of it you will need to have been there. So you were a miner, a police officer or..?

Go fuck yourself, you worthless piece of shit troll. Next you'll be calling the Hillborough Disaster victims thieves and pickpockets. Go back to writing Daily Mail articles, loser.

Good question.

What was your role in this, Teddington?

And I am old enough to remember.

Eventually the police launched another attack during which the worst of the violence is purported to have taken place. According to The Observer, during this period pregnant women and those holding babies were clubbed by police with truncheons and the police were hitting "anybody they could reach". When some of the travellers tried to escape by driving away through the fields, The Observer states that the police threw truncheons, shields, fire-extinguishers and stones at them in an attempt to stop them.

Yeah obviously all their own fault. I really think if people are attending the festival and approve of this then we have gone in a very wrong direction. I understand that Torirs may attend the festival but support for this state Tory violence that could so easily happen again is beyond me.

Do your research. You clearly are living and thinking in a Tory bubble. Read this and google for more info  http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/12/miners-strike-justice-orgreave-police

And at Orgreve the BBC had to apologise in the end for their footage.. They showed the miners attacking the police and then the police retaliating by attacking the miners. Turns out the footage was shown back to front. The truth was that the police attacked the miners and the miners retaliated by fighting back, That is fact, the Tory government of the time used the police as enforcers of Tory policy. Sad and wrong.

I really have to question whether it was an economic success when so many towns affected are still plagued by unemployment and a total lack of opportunity.

Might have been a success for the big boys, much like this recovery, but it's certainly not worked for everyone. There were better ways - but so often the right silence any discussion by making it black and white so the protests look unreasonable

It's schoolyard stuff really, but works easily on those who want to believe because they were coming out on top

I think the fact that this post got 3 upvotes speaks volumes for the quality of person on this forum, and explains why I stopped posting a few years back.  Seems things haven't changed.

 

Ah well.
