'Battle of Orgreave': Probe into 1984 miners' clash policing ruled out - BBC News
And they accuse unions of having a closed shop!!!
Funny isn’t it how the ‘passage of time’ defence doesn’t count with 30 year old+, historical high profile criminal or abuse cases that the police relentlessly pursue yet, magically, it’s used when pursuing the alleged guardians of the law themselves.
‘Some of the officers are retired’….hey, so were Klaus Barbie and Adolf Eichmann…hell Jimmy Saville and Cyril Smith were dead!! Didn’t stop ‘due process’ did it?
Passage of time didn’t stop them chasing Ronnie Biggs for 30+ years.
This is a disgraceful decision, especially as there is adequate documentary and visual evidence to at least open a public enquiry.
