Hillsborough's Lies!
If ever there was a clear case of Police incompetence and lies, those that came out of the Hillsborough enquiry, in which 96 football fans needlessly died, where ignored by the British media.
For those too young to know, the Hillsborough disaster was a fatal crush of people during an FA Cup football match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England, on 15 April 1989. With 96 fatalities (needless deaths that could have been avoided) and 766 injuries, it remains the worst disaster in British sporting history.
The crush occurred in the two standing-only central pens in the Leppings Lane stand, allocated to Liverpool supporters. Shortly before kick-off, in an attempt to ease overcrowding outside the entrance turnstiles, the police match commander, chief superintendent David Duckenfield, ordered exit gate C opened, leading to an influx of even more supporters to the pens.
In the days and weeks following, police fed false stories [lies] to the press, suggesting that hooliganism and drunkenness by Liverpool supporters were the causes of the disaster.
Only this magazine, the TRUTH, in its 1994 publication, one that was hand delivered to those listed below, including New Scotland yard, and a signature of its receipt obtained, had the integrity to print and publish the truth about the incompetence and lies by the Police.
As anyone who has ever attended a sporting event or music concert held at a stadium knows, at the end of the game or concert, everyone of the fans, paying or not, leaves the ground and returns home. Unfortunately, and due to Police incompetence, more so the lies that covered it up, the 96 football fans who tragically and needlessly died, didn’t return home. Nor, for that matter, did those among the 766 that were injured and taken to hospital return home until they were discharged from hospital, and there lies the proof as to the Police incompetence and lies thereafter, which the UK media either covered up or were just as incompetent to not realise.
The excuse given by the police for their incompetent action was this:
‘There was nowhere else for them to go!’
What the police should have done, is what, as intimated, occurs at the end of every public attended sporting event, and that is to have the crowd turn around and disperse; go home or somewhere else. Makes you wonder just how God almighty a solution that is to fathom out!

In as much as we tried contacting the MET police, to quote the then Home Secretary, Michael Howard MP, their ‘Refusal to co-operate suggests they have something to hide.’
