Operation Solstice (Battle of the beanfield) 1985

now for a change, heres a video i upped for another site so thought id stick it on here too

a brief history of the events

now watch 10 minutes here, most of it is unbroadcast news footage, even the newsmen couldnt believe what they were seeing, men, women and children being beaten and their homes smashed to bits and burnt.
