Recent reports have surfaced accusing the police of covering up key files related to the miners’ strike of the 1980s. The strike, which was a pivotal moment in British labor history, saw violent clashes between striking miners and law enforcement.

Several former miners and their supporters have alleged that crucial evidence, including photographs, witness statements, and police records, have been deliberately withheld or destroyed by the authorities. This has raised serious concerns about the integrity of the investigation into the events surrounding the strike.

The accusations of a cover-up have reignited calls for a full inquiry into the conduct of the police during the miners’ strike. Many believe that the truth must be uncovered and justice served for those affected by the violent clashes and subsequent legal proceedings.

It remains to be seen how the authorities will respond to these allegations and whether any further action will be taken to uncover the truth about the events of the miners’ strike.
