The public recognise the corrosive influence of the rich over our democracy, argues MIKE COWLEY — it’s a shame the Labour Party doesn’t
THE Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign (OTJC) was set up in 2012 to press for a public inquiry into what happened at Orgreave on June 18 1984 during the year-long miners’ strike against pit closures.
On that day the miners were ushered into a field near the Orgreave coking plant outside Rotherham in South Yorkshire by police.
It was a change from the normal practice of blocking access routes and turning miners away from picketing.
The pre-planned, ruthless violence used by the police against the miners, the subsequent arrests of 95 miners on fallacious charges, evidence of police fabricating evidence and lying under oath in court, alleged cover-ups and the courageous Hillsborough campaign were all reasons to establish the OTJC.
