      Nothing. Just raking over more outdated conspiracy theories I suppose. Best forgotten really as the tawdry little chapter it was.

            Not true.

            However as the top police are dead and everyone else is retired (or dead) so can't be forced to give evidence it is a waste of money.

              Seriously... (I know this is general). You can't compare two gangs having a fight in a field to Hillsborough.

                Correct. While a significant proportion of football fans of the day were animals, those that died were the genuine nice fans - in the ground early, looking forward to watch their team. Even with the crush happening, the police covered up their failure to save the other half that were still alive at 3:06. Absolutely disgraceful.

                In terms of the miners, both sides were as bad as each other; the establishment simply had the national papers as their mouthpiece back in the early 80s.

                  It is true Only MF omitted to point out that the left is always on the look out for victims in order to pursue their war against freedom and capitalism especially. Essentially the miners believed they were entitled to be employed and supported by the rest of the country and they themselves were prepared to go to extreme levels of violence to defend their positions.

                    They were not as bad as each other. The miners were prepared to go to any lengths to protect their jobs despite the fact that they were being subsidised by the rest of the population. I am not quite sure how else the police were supposed to deal with these people.
