Channel Five Live special on Hillsborough the Truth.
This was the powerful and emotional rendering case against the police and ambulance service over the failure to deal with the situation which emerged leading to 41 individuals who could have survived with the proper attention dying. There was also the organised cover up by senior officers of the police action on the day involving the altering of police statements wither by threats or without their knowledge. The calls for a new Inquest and criminal proceedings grows louder. There were scenes of the present Liverpool away supporters visiting Sunderland where the crowd response was disappointing. I guess the hone side without wins for nearly a dozen games did not want too much sympathy for the visitors although sharing in their anger and concern about what had been revealed. A major contributor was the doctor who was present with his sons now Professor John Ashton and who clearly is one of the important behind the scenes figures pressing for truth and justice over the past two decades.
The killing of two police women becomes more and more murky as the man being hidden at the house was wanted re murders and on police bail because the evidence was not available to hold him in custody to be charged, so why did they initiate the call which led to two unarmed policewomen attending. This has brought sympathy to the police again after Hillsborough revelations and the way the policeman who killed the news vendors has been let pensioned off after the criminal trial jury appears to have been fixed in the way the prosecution service handled the case.
