it seems like police statements were also doctored during the miners strike. .... not a single police officer was prosecuted.

There seems to be similarities to the Hillsborough Inquiry.

Of course it didn't, rum.....The police force was 'Thatcher's Private Army'; able to hide their identity badges, with unlimited/unquestioned overtime, no-comebacks, etc......What more could those with a penchant for 'official tuggery' ask?
