"So, Jim Carroll, are you ready to withdraw your comment?"
Of course I most certainly not - the photograph I chose is Iconic of what happened at Orgreve and elsewhere https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2012/dec/02/miners-strike-orgreave-special-report where miners, their families and their supporters were beaten down by mounted police and those on foot carrying shields and batons


The link you chose shows someone who turned up because there was going to be a fight (her own words)who was NOT hit by a police baton.

If the photo is 'iconic' of anything it is of the misrepresentation which can be found on almost any subject, and which is used by the politically inclined to support a biased 'historic' viewpoint.

You choose not to withdraw the statement. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
