READER LETTER: Time for inquiry into miners' strike 'corruption'

Now at last the truth of what occured during the miners' strike is coming out. Men were taken out of picket lines, arrested for no reason, only trying to protect their future and that of their families.

This was done with the knowledge of senior police officers and the corrupt Tory government.

Now it's time for a public enquiry into the whole rotten business and for our members of Parliament to push for justice for all innocent miners.

Once again, corruption by police in South Yorkshire must not be ignored.
