Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign

ORGREAVE JUSTICE MUST BE DONE AND SEEN TO BE DONE
The inquiry should focus on the conduct of the police. The police should not investigate themselves. The inquiry panel must be worthy of conducting this important inquiry.

🕯️ Today we mark Holocaust Memorial Day & remember the 6 million Jewish people who were murdered in the Holocaust.
We also commemorate the millions of other persecuted people murdered by the Nazis and the millions more murdered in other genocides around the world. #WeRemember #NeverAgain

Local businesses in Birmingham are suffering. Like residents & bin workers, they want to see an end to the strike. Why did @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social walk away from a ballpark agreement and from all negotiations back in the summer 2025?
Do your job. Get in the room. Negotiate a fair settlement

We support human rights #HillsboroughLaw campaigners opposing Govt attempts to water down the Public Office (Accountability) Bill. Govt amendments risk MI5 & MI6 carrying on with collusion & cover ups. Contact your MP to vote AGAINST Govt amdts & vote FOR amdt 23 to ensure scrutiny remains possible

Stop the Govt’s new #CrimeAndPolicingBill - it clamps down on the #RightToProtest Use the Liberty prepared email to the House of Lords to call on them to vote against dangerous proposals. We need to #DefendTheRightToProtest secure.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/page/180398/...

OTJC ACTIVISTS MET MPs IN PARLIAMENT this week & gave a presentation to the Coalfields Labour MPs. The whole experience of the #MinersStrike exemplified in the events of 18 June 1984 was of the destruction of protected rights #OrgreaveInquiry #Truth #Justice #DefendTheRightToProtest

Aberfan 1966 where National Coal Board negligence & social murder was responsible for the deaths of 144 people including 116 children. A devastated & grieving community was repeatedly betrayed #neverforgetneverforgive

Thousands rally in Birmingham to support striking bin workers Union members from across the country flock to Birmingham to support striking bin workers.

🤯What are @teamlabouruk.bsky.social & Birmingham City Council waiting for? Do what’s right by Birmingham’s bin workers & residents, & sort this mess out 🗑️

In the 1970s the Tory Party made secret plans to develop a more militarised police force to stifle dissent & attempt to destroy organised labour & the Trade Union movement, introduce mass privatisation & legislate against workers & human rights. Read here:

Northumbria police destroy Battle of Orgreave and other miners’ strike files Force says it disposed of papers last year despite forthcoming inquiry into scenes of violent policing in 1984 Police have destroyed documents relating to the Battle of Orgreave in 1984 during the miners’ strike, which is the subject of a forthcoming official inquiry. Northumbria police disposed of the papers less than a month before Rishi Sunak called last summer’s election, which brought the Labour party into government with a longstanding manifesto pledge to hold an inquiry into the scenes of violent policing at Orgreave.
