Dale Vince calls for Battle of the Beanfield to be included in Orgreave policing inquiry | Police

Entrepreneur Dale Vince has recently called for an investigation into severe police conflicts on Orgreave miners’ strike, including a similar aggressive conflict with the New Age travelers who went to Stonehenge the following year.

Vince, who participated in the Wiltshire conflict known as the Beanfield War, said the fact that the truth of both events was handled by the police. He said he believed that both episodes were part of a plan to “disintegrates ıs and travelers he thought were the enemies of the state, Margaret Margaret Thatcher at that time.

The secretary of the house told Yette Cooper that he wrote the Beanfield war to ask him to include the Orgreave investigation.

The founder of Ekotricity was part of the convoy of a travelers trying to build a free festival in Stonehenge to celebrate the solstice in 1985. As the convoy grows, so are complaints about the effect of some followers. The police decided to prevent the Supreme Court to prevent it, and the number of vehicles competing along the narrow strips was chased by the police in the rebellion equipment.

ITV News showed that the police smashed the windows of travelers’ vehicles while making careers in a field. The episode resulted in more than 500 arrests and numerous injuries.

Vince said: “You are talking about people walking around [the field]. Police with Copsons, the windows smashing like this [the travellers] It is moving. Children are distributed [of windows]; People are dragging by their hair through broken glass windows. I mean, it was really scary and probably not forgotten… No.

“You know, the police fled the most incredible lawlessness that day, and I don’t think they should be allowed to get rid of it. And if we don’t do it right, that’s not a good thing.”

Vince recently said a audience at the Glastonbury Festival: “I think I buried it [the trauma] A few years. Actually, I left the country to get away from the police. ”He said he still believes he could suffer from post -traumatic stress disorder.

In one of the greatest mass arrests in British history, more than 530 travelers were detained by the police, many of whom were injured. Eight police officers were reportedly injured. Intermittent has been calling for a public investigation since then.

In 1984, Vince said he hoped that the decision to open an investigation into the conflicts between the police and miners at the Orgreave Mokcuting Factory would strengthen the case.

The company supported Labour more than £ 1.5 million and made Vince’s largest individual donor of the party.

Davies, who worked as a photographer for the observer during the clashes in Wiltshire, said he was arrested and confiscated his film. “When I was arrested for allegedly violating peace, I was beating a woman on her head. They gave my camera back, but they forbade me to take more photos – it was clearly just a way of stopping the news.

“He was very frightening and I was afraid that someone could be killed. Of course, they weren’t like the police I saw.”

The incident pointed to the end of a period. From the early 1970s, hundreds of people – then thousands of people, in the weeks before the daytime, made Stonehenge annual pilgrimage.

However, as the numbers reached 100,000, the complaints damaged stones, unauthorized entrances and vandalisms. Police said that some travelers were anti -police and anti -organization, and contain anarchists with convoy environmentalists, druids and an alternative lifestyle. There were complaints that supermarkets were sought and that the travelers were camping in forest areas and that wood was cut for fires.

Finally, a precautionary measure was taken to stop him. 4 miles exclusion zone was established and the police prevented a convoy of more than 100 vehicles.

Hellen Hatt, a part of the converted ambulance convoy, told BBC: “The police started to smash the windshields of the front vehicles. [of the convoy] And drag people to the ground, hit them with Crochheons. Someone ran me with a head wound and flowing down. “

He said the windows of his car was smashed and the two officers caught him out of his hair. “I remember how unbearable the pain of both sides of both sides of the hair is. I was screaming: ‘Stop, stop, tell me what to do’.”

Vince said: “Margaret Thatcher described miners and new era travelers as the two largest threats of the country and sent the police to dismantle both. Both of us were the enemy of the state, the highest order. And both of them were the same leaders, the same plans, the same plan, even the same plan, and even from the bench-ayn. Even the same even the same-foot-same-same-same-foot, even the same as the same. ”.

About six years after the event, 24 members of the convoy filed a lawsuit against the police for false arrest, attack and criminal damage. The police were cleaned from wrong arrest, but members were given £ 24,000 for damaging “people and property”.

Wiltshire police and the Ministry of Interior did not comment on Vince’s request. A police spokesman told BBC that he has been “a lot has changed” since 1985. He said that the power reflects everything he did and tried to learn lessons from big events.
