I heard it said that Maggie was part of the Hillsborough cover up,she didn't want to see her South Yorkshire Militia get the blame as they had done such a good job for her during the miners strike.

Re: Hillsborough BBC 2 9pm
Cappy, the starting salary for a Junior Doctor is £23,000 a year Not a lot, but with weekend overtime it can get up to near £30,000
The Miners Strike was orchestrated. by Scargill and rentamob. My brother was a Miner, No Miner wanted to go on strike, they had the very best wages and working conditions of any industry in the country. They were forced out by Scarhills gangsters. Threats of Violence against Miners Children and wives My brothes car was smashed and his windows of his house smashed until he came out. All those idiots seen charging the Polices horses were Students and rentamob.

Re: Hillsborough BBC 2 9pm
Brian its common knowledge that Maggie wanted to brake the miners at any price,she wanted to close the mines anyway.I hope that they have the enquiry just like the Hillsborough enquiry.I've got no connection to it but as I seen it it was more than taking a sledge hammer to crack a nut.A mate of mine who had a mate in the police said his policeman mate earned enough overtime during the miners strike to pay off his mortgage.Your talking of students and rent a mob,what did Maggie bring in,I'm convinced that the army were there masquerading as police men.I was listening to a seaman who I suppose you could say was a flying picket,no harm in that if you want to give your fellow workers some support.This is what he said,he was thrown into the back of a transit police van,inside the van he said signs saying property of the MOD with the arrows.Was this an army van resprayed in police livery,if there is an enquiry all this will come out,maybe some soldiers may come forward and say that they were there.
