Hillsborough Independent Panel findings and release of documents.

Just a reminder prompted by this uninformed article yesterday - Thatcher insisted on Hillsborough disaster fund recipients not being exempt from having their benefit payments docked as a result of the charity payments - despite their being many contemporary precedents.

"....the all-seat magnificence of the game as it is today."
"....a great Prime Minister who did so much for the beautiful game."
Christ.
There must be a real art, and real effort, that goes into being as wrong as the Mail.

We should be grateful for the more than ten-fold increase in admission prices, the pay-TV monopoly, collapsing clubs, huge debts, soulless new build stadiums located away from public transport, more and more shitty adverts and entire clubs becoming rich men's playthings. I bet they wish society was even more like this.
 
Art exhibition commomorating Hillsborough opens at Museum of Liverpool
On Sunday a new monument honouring the victims and survivors of disaster will be unveiled.

And on Monday the annual memorial service will be held at Anfield.

Gecko’s work ‘Spray for Justice’ is a unique and moving display, including the main piece ‘From the Heart’, which comprises 96 canvases each representing an individual who lost their life at Hillsborough.

Graffiti artist Gecko created the display in memory of his friend Carl Brown from Leigh, who died aged 18 in the disaster.

Gecko has used spray paint and stencils to create layers of images including the iconic Liver Bird in a range of reds.

A number on each canvas represents the age of the victims, and the pink canvases represent the young women who died.

Also on display is a piece created by contemporary mosaic artist Alan Wynne, which was given to the Hillsborough Family Support Group following the release of the Independent Panel report in September 2012.

Today is the first anniversary that we all know the real truth about Hillsborough, thinking of them all today. #J4T96

(Only papers interested in this seem to be the times and the star)

Phil Scraton says (again) that key documents are still missing

All known records were said to have been handed over to the panel but Prof Scraton believes there are “significant” gaps.

That includes the work of teams set up within South Yorkshire Police just after the 1989 disaster to present the force’s now-discredited “case”.

...

He now expects a “light to be shone” by the Independent Police Complaints Commission and a parallel criminal inquiry to establish whether “crucial documents exist that weren’t readily available to the panel”.

On Thursday, the IPCC will present a “comprehensive update” on its probe

Not sure he really expects a "light to be shone" this week, and it's probably too late to pressure them into doing so given how long they've been looking at this, but we'll see...or not.
