Off Topic Ricky Tomlinson

[Deletion Requested1]

Older posters will probably remember this from 1972 - 24 picketts from the building trade were jailed. Ricky Tomlinson was among them and they have been fighting to clear their names ever since. If anyone has read his autobiograpy it chronicles how the establishment baulked their efforts. Fourteen of them including Ricky have now had their convictions overturned unfortunately some are not alive to see it.

Just read through the case, and its something that I did not pick up on at the time. It makes you realise just why we can never blindly believe one side or another. Thanks for the post mate, and I hope that your luck changes soon

Think your getting mixed up with another poster mate - I have just retired a year early but thanks for the thought
