The Battle of Orgreave

Monday 18 June 1984 was the most violent day of the year-long miners' strike. Thousands of pickets met huge lines of police - who were brought in from all around the country - outside the Orgreave coke works near Rotherham. Approximately 8,000 pickets faced 5,000 officers in what many regard as the most violent confrontation in the year-long strike. The so-called Battle of Orgreave led to 95 people being charged with riot and violent disorders but their cases were dropped amid questions about the reliability of police evidence. Thousands of officers drafted in to police the picketing used excessive violence – and that this was followed by the fabrication of accounts during the subsequent investigation. Campaigners have been demanding a public inquiry to determine exactly what happened, but there was disappointment when Rudd ruled this out in 2016 saying “ultimately there were no deaths or wrongful convictions” resulting from the events of 1984. #Orgreave https://labourheartlands.com/the-batt...
