  GaryC - Do you deny the scenes of mob rule and rioting or were those tv news programmes just actors?
  
  Do you deny that police officers had their homes vandalised?
  Do you deny that they were assaulted and spat at?
  Do you deny that working miners were attacked and their homes vandalised as well?
  
  I have already condemned any individual police office who acted in an unprofessional way, more than once, so for you to claim that I vent only at strikers is absurd.
  
  At the end of the day the police were there to protect those going about their lawful occupations while the mob of strikers were there to intimidate the working miners into submission.
  
  On that basis alone it is the police that deserve all the sympathy along with those brave working miners who went through those picket lines day after day.l
