MacKenzie wants apology from police
Lawyers acting for Kelvin MacKenzie have written to South Yorkshire Police asking for an apology for his treatment after the Hillsborough disaster.
The former editor of The Sun wants an apology for the cover-up that prompted his 'THE TRUTH' headline that led to his 'personal vilification for decades'.
There is even talk of 'compensation' for MacKenzie, who wrote the headline 'THE TRUTH' based on the testimony of police officers from South Yorkshire Police trying to cover up their role in the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans.
In a column for The Spectator to be published this week, MacKenzie admits that he was wrong, 'but the people who have got away scot-free are South Yorkshire Police'. According to the magazine's website, he is seeking recompense for 'the lies their officers told'.
He writes: 'Now I know - you know, we all know - that the fans were right. But it took 23 years, two inquiries, one inquest and research into 400,000 documents, many of which were kept secret under the 30-year no-publication rule, to discover there was a vast cover-up by South Yorkshire Police about the disaster. Where does that leave me?'
He also claims that the campaign against The Sun newspaper in Merseyside was fuelled by politics.
He writes: 'Liverpool fans didn't turn on other media, only the Sun. That has always puzzled me. Was it picked out because the paper had always backed Thatcher, while the city had always been pro-Labour?'
