Just finished watching at this link Hillsborough Never Forgotten
Didn't expect sitting for the whole hour and watching but it drew me in. Incredibly powerful, even for someone who lives on the other side of the world and hadn't even been born at the time of the tragedy.
Quite understandable mate that you should feel totally involved with the raw emotion and horrific images confronting you, then to hear about the multi-tiered conspiracy from the police and the government to absolve them from any responsibility and blame the victims is beyond the realms of credibility.
Can you imagine tho for some time following the disaster the public were exposed to documentaries of comparative horror but went on to reinforce the police lies and corruption - this on national TV.
The nation was subject to subliminal messages about Liverpool and it's people with more than a little help from the Tory government with Thatcher at the helm, this went on for decades and the Hillsborough disaster and the lies were almost set in stone.
Consider the determination and pain needed to confront and dismantle this obscenity and give the victims peace and justice; the Families have sacrificed everything in their quest for the truth and after 23 years they are being rewarded with their prize...their loved ones can rest in peace.
