Topcat Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 no need for one - Scargill has already given the eventual verdict - The 78-year-old told 5 live’s Rowan Bridge: “A full inquiry will reveal that they concocted stories, they told lies.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's much younger than I thought he would have been too (obviously if he hadn't died).

scoobydoo Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 The witch is dead so it should all come out now. Lots of stories of government agency agitators and the tories using everything, legal or otherwise, to break the miners. Magoo was close to scargill I believe.

Worse than that, South Yorkshire police were often brought in to investigate shit going on with the met. no wrong doing found of course. The book "the untouchables" (was a nightmare to get as legal wrangling with the met trying to stop publication) goes from Brinks rbbery up to modern day. Very very informative. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007ILNY34/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 I see it's easy now as on kindle. i spent ages trying to get it a few years back.
