Top Policeman Lied Over Hillsborough

[Hart of the Matter]

As I have posted before, my brother was caught up in this, had a ticket but was let in through the gate, had no option. He lost a few mates that day. He has lived with the guilt ever since. He has also known that this lie was told at the time and has lived with the rage/injustice of it. He came back from the match a changed man. My contempt for those that downplay this is absolute. The lies told have stuck. It was not just the 96 and their families who suffered that day. It goes way bigger than that.

Skip to 4 minutes, the crucial part about the gate is there for everyone to hear...... In 1989. Sickening......

That bloke speaking at 7 minutes in that video is sickening. The fans were made scapegoats for so long because of lies. The truth has come out, and most people have known it for years. Justice now is needed

It Was interesting to see that most of the serious papers led with a headline that went something like "I lied" yet The Mail completely obscured it, failing to mention it in their headline and burying the admission that Duckenfield lied in virtually the last paragraph. I wonder why they felt the need to do that?

The emboldened word answers your question.

Fair point but I couldn't understand why the paper that's not shy about the odd sensationalist headline felt the need to pass on "I lied over Hillsborough", which would have been both sensational and accurate. Possibly it was the latter parameter that got in the way or the fact that Duckenfield wasn't dasrk-skinned and a Muslim.

I read an article over the weekend by someone who worked for The Mail online, who said they were given stories plucked from other sources, told to re-write them & "sex them up",even if thst involved inaccuracies or even downright lies. Yet here's a story that needs no sexing up and they play it down. Most peculiar.

for anyone interested the liverpool echo is doing a live feed re the inquests- duckenfield is again answering for his actions today and this could get very interesting

So strange looking back.

I vividly remember waiting for my mates, about a mile from Ewood Park. A Blackburn fan started talking about the game, not realising that I supported the opposition.

He then stated in a casual matter of fact style “I see the Liverpool fans have done it again…”

Such a horrible incorrect statement, yet in 1989 it seemed quite feasible.

Possibly because they still worship the former Prime Minister who refused to allow the police to be blamed even when early investigations called it correctly.
