    There will be no inquiry into the notorious events at the so-called "Battle of Orgreave", Home Secretary Amber Rudd has announced. Thousands of miners and police clashed at the Yorkshire coking site in 1984.

    Campaigners said officers led by South Yorkshire Police were heavy-handed and manufactured statements. However, Mrs Rudd said she did not believe there was "sufficient basis... to instigate either a statutory inquiry or an independent review". Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott described the decision as a "grave injustice", while Andy Burnham MP called it an "establishment stitch-up".

    The statement added: "The campaigners say that had the consequences of the events at Orgreave been addressed properly at the time, the tragic events at Hillsborough would never have happened five years later.

    **** off

    Because the Chinese were selling it for less and the amount of money we spent getting it wasn't economically viable or maybe Maggie just wanted to piss off the northern monkeys?

    Farms.
    Necluer power.
    Call Centres.
    Weapons industries.(BAE for example)

    There'll be plenty more. Just this week they gave a nod and a wink to a Japanese car manufacturer.
