Summary
A former miner is urgently calling for speed in the long-awaited inquiry into the 1984 Battle of Orgreave, warning that many who lived through the violence may not survive to see its conclusions. Robert Young, who stood on the picket line that day, described the chaos — police horses charging, dogs unleashed — and the aftermath that saw 95 miners arrested on fabricated charges. The 1984-85 miners’ strike, which reshaped Britain’s industrial landscape and devastated mining communities, left deep wounds. Now, led by the Bishop of Sheffield and expected to conclude in 2028, the inquiry holds the promise of truth and closure for survivors and families still grappling with the legacy of that fateful day.
