Re: Battle of Orgreave

Unfortunately, as this thread shows, when some people get over excited they can become rude, offensive, personal and abusive.
In a face to face confrontation this can turn to physical violence. With 10,000 miners facing 5,000 police at Orgreave that's obviously what happened. As cashman said there was good and bad on both sides, none of it acceptable.

As it happens I do rely a lot on the NHS for the care of a loved one- it's very good.
Relax, the terrible Tories haven't destroyed it yet.
