Once again, your sheer ignorance of all things 'miners' is clear for all to see, how many police turned up, with cavalry, with riot gear, how strange it was that they actively encouraged everyone into the field, even helping with parking, remember for the weeks before that we were engaged in cat and mouse with the coppers at every road junction leading to Nottinghamshire, all of a sudden we were welcome..., one more thing, we were at Orgreave to stop the lorries, nothing to do with the workers there....
Once again your ignorance is staggering, verging on idiocy,
