Miners Strike | Police Tactics | Flying Pickets | Trade Union | TV Eye | 1984

TV EYE examines the police tactics in the miners’ strike .. . are they, as the police say, shielding the public, defending the individual’s right to go to work — or, are they, as the striking miners claim, the sword of government policy?
