Finally the families of the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster know the truth. After 23 years of putting every ounce of their energies into getting a truthful and unbiased report, it was released yesterday morning and they were the first people to view it. These people lost loved ones and have always tried to maintain their dignity whilst striving for the truth to be made known. Also for the survivors who had to live with the lurid headlines that were plastered across downmarket red top tabloid newspapers.
Hearing David Cameron make his statement in parliament, apologising on behalf of the country, made me cry. I had personal experience of how a survivors life had been changed by this tragedy and know first hand that what unfolded on 15th April 1989 in front of this person will haunt him for the rest of his life.
However hopefully all families of victims and survivors will now get peace of some sort knowing that any slur on their character has finally been erased. This will never bring back loved ones though!
As for The S*N I hope they are sued out of the market for the lies told in the aftermath.Regardless that they thought they were being reliable informed.
Families vindicated, fans exonerated. Police shamed, hopefully now the High Court will order a truthful inquiry.
RIP the 96. You'll never walk alone.
And so very briefly on to less somber events of yesterday.
Super besty home county of Yorkshire are in pole position at the moment, they had a good second day but ended on 44-3 as bad light brought a halt to the match. So with rapidly fraying nerves and no nails left to bite, day 3 begins.
England won at Edgbaston.
Squad for India not now being announced until Tuesday. (NO NO NO to KP!)
Other home team of Durham, not doing too badly but rain affected play at times.
