This isn't an inflammatory question but what was her role exactly? Didn't she just act on the information given to her by the police? I don't know by the way, which is why I ask the question. | |

I'm more disappointed that the Chief Constable isn't still alive in this case. | | | |

Lagos will be able to explain further, but didn't she support the police and authorities intention to be "creative" with the evidence? | |

Quite. She had more than enough rope to hang herself - blaming her for any part of this is a bit amiss. | | | |

Secretary. The man at the club at the time responsible for up-to-date safety certificates etc. Hillsboro's ran out years before the disaster. | |

Yep. The out of date safety certificates were always going to be implied in the inquest. Whilst not being the single factor for the tragedy, the added accumulation of everything else along with it must (and has been) addressed. [Post edited 28 Jun 2017 11:52]

She supported the senior SYP even though the evidence was clear at the time that they were responsible for the deaths. She over ruled the home Secretary who called for the resignation of the head of SYP after the Taylor inquiry. He (and the SYP) then went on to step up the rewriting of history as they sought to avoid criminal charges. Peter Wright was even given a gong ffs. She at best "turned a blind eye" to the cover up. And her actions at Orgreave, well we don't know as the Tories refuse to hold an inquiry. | |
