Show Notes
A new public inquiry into the 1984 Orgreave coking plant clashes during the miners strike has been launched, modeled after the Hillsborough investigation. The inquiry will examine the actions of six thousand police officers sent to face striking miners, leading to ninety-five miners charged with rioting. With many witnesses now deceased or frail, the inquiry will rely on surviving documents, audio, and video, including digitized files from South Yorkshire police. Bishop Pete Wilcox of Sheffield welcomes the probe, hoping it will help communities move on from the trauma and provide answers to the unresolved pain.
