Now the campaigners want a judicial review:

Shame the family of David Wilkie didn't get justice at the trial of his killers.
Question for mikey: Do you think this had anything to do with the last Labour government not wanting an inquiry either?:
Kim Howells, the South Wales NUM official who commented on the killing of David Wilkie, later became a Member of Parliament for the Labour Party and served as a minister in the Blair government and later became chair of the Intelligence and Security Committee, a committee of parliamentarians that oversees the work of Britain's intelligence and security agencies. In 2004 he said that when he heard that a taxi driver had been killed, he thought "hang on, we've got all those records we've kept over in the NUM offices, there's all those maps on the wall, we're gonna get implicated in this". He then destroyed "everything", because he feared a police raid on the union offices.
Furthermore, Scargill referred to the strike as a "war". I'm sure he had plenty of involvement in the 'battle' that subsequently took place.

// But on the other hand, the fact that Cabinet papers are sealed for up to seventy years hints at the desire to protect Mrs. Thatcher's legacy, when there is little doubt that she perceived the miners as the enemy within to be crushed. The rumours are that she was directing police operations personally during the days that led up to Orgreave, behaviour which would lead to some serious questions about the level of power she was exercising over the legal system and appropriate application of police procedures and due legal process. // That dear ''Lady'' had a lot to answer for & the Tories should be thoroughly ashamed.

there's currently two "campaigns for justice" going on, both have had their moment in the commons this week, both have issue with a regional police force.
which is more deserving - Orgreave, where nobody died and where nobody was wrongly convicted? or the families of the Birmingham pub bombing victims, in which 21 died, 182 were injured and 6 innocent men spent a very long time in prison?
