Lots of questions around the role of the police obviously but also huge questions still to be answered around political interference, the media role and the failure of the justice system to hold indivifual officers to account.
40 years passage will make it hard (Northumbria plod shredding docs only last year) and prosecutions (even with evidence) seem unlikely.
But the truth is important, although it may be uncomfortable for a few. Hope it doesn't take years to report but these things are never quick. Modelled on the HIP report apparently, with the Bishop of Sheffield over seeing it.
It should be reasonably straightforward to identify any bad apples amongst the good 'uns. Just note down their shoulder numbers from any video footage.
Oh. It seems they must have fallen off accidentally.

Maybe at last someone from the BBC will be able to explain how they managed to show footage from the day backwards on the news, which just so happened to give entirely the wrong impression of what went on.
Exactly - this will be hard, especially if it involves people well into their dotage being asked to remember events that happened over 40 years ago. No-one will be brought to book over all this - everyone will be too old & it will be impossible to convict anyone at a jury trial, so what's the point? Sir Norman Bettison is still prancing around, despite his obvious involvement in the shameful Hillsborough cover-up. The only thing that should be done is Labour to make good on their promise to introduce their "Hillsborough Law", which is supposed to increase public accountability in such cases. Maybe Mr Lawyer Starmer has realised this might create more problems than it will solve?
