Thatcher's South Yorkshire private army of strike busters have been finally shown to have fabricated the whole pissed up scousers myth to protect their own sorry arses. No sign of Kelvin Mackenzie giving interviews today?
Anyone who ever attended a big game at Hillsborough in the 70's or 80's knew it was a disaster waiting to happen.
Normal Liverpool hating services will be resumed tomorrow.
...............hopefully minus the "You kill your own" chants.
This cover-up was clearly sanctioned at Downing Street itself. It's hard to believe Kelvin McKenzies'
Sun could have had the balls to do that "The Truth" cover [which has seen the newspaper boycotted in Liverpool for 23 years] without a large nod and wink from Thatcher's own office. Today's official acknowledgement of falsified police reports, missing CCTV videos, arbitrary cut-off times of death and other self-serving mendacity from officials who have denied the families any possibility of closure for almost a quarter century is a victory not for justice but for the persistence and tenacity of the families of the Hillsborough dead. We read only last week that Hillsborough-related deaths have continued over the years, with at least half a dozen suicides considered to be directly linked. The only travesty today was that the official government apology came from David Cameron, not from Thatcher herself. I suppose she's too batshit crazy these days to be trusted with such a task.
