The government has announced a public inquiry into the Battle of Orgreave - one of the worst days of violence during the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike. Campaigners have long fought for an investigation into South Yorkshire Police’s actions during and after the clashes at the Orgreave Coking Plant in June 1984. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says concerns “have been left unanswered for decades, and we must now establish what happened.” Report by Jonesia.
