Recently, I was in Malmö & gave a talk on The Miners Strike of 1984-85. I contextualised the year long dispute, how it began and the social and political consequences after, some of which are still being felt.

Orgreave
Violent trope
Inflamed upon a grassy slope
June sun
Shirts are off for ice-cream fun
Joke sneer
A push when the first lorries near
Riot shields
Row upon dark row don't yield
Ranks split
Horses charge and batons hit
Hell breaks as skulls are split
Never war
Just unjust law
