The families and loved ones connected to the 96 have not allowed this injustice lie for 22 years. People question them. “Move on”, they say. Never is the reply.
Police incompetence, hiding the truth, and lack of emergency services. These were all to blame for the horrible incidents that occurred that day. Could we forgive them? Some might, some wont. The real anger we feel inside is how they’ve hidden the truth and showered our people with seas of lies.
Take the responsibility. Instead of owning up to the mistakes you’ve made you instead chose to blame the ones that couldn’t fight their corner. Well you thought wrong. You forgot the spirit and the closeness of Liverpool, they don’t walk as one, they all walk together in unity; through any storm they will always keep their heads up high and through the darkness the eternal flame of the Liver bird will guide their way.
Thatcher covered up her lies and told her press advisor, Bernard Ingham, that a “tanked up mob” had caused this disaster. She then decides to agree with The Suns infamous front page headline, Fans urinating on the dead, stealing from the dead’s pockets. The truth thought to be forever hidden. Until now.
Due to an online petition which raised 140,000 signatures in a couple of weeks, Parliament will now allow the full release of uncensored government related documents about Hillsborough. This is surely a good start, and only time will tell if today was a victory for the families, they’ve been let down so many times before by the government who knows what will happen again. The one thing that Parliament is now certain of, is that this issue, will simply never go away, not until there is justice for the 96.
