Wonderful news for Hillsborourgh

Yes, wonderful news.  The families have had such a long hard struggle x

Why did it take all those years to get a verdict.? It could have been done in a few weeks ---I saw the news footage as it happened, ----I will never forget what I saw. --- It was obvious where the blame lay.---- The lawyers must have made a fortune.

Yes kennine your right but we all now know the reason it took so long with so much evidence that had to be checked over and over whatever the reasons right or wrong they got there in the end ,yes it took to long  but I think everybody in the country feels  the same its over , God bless them all 

Yes I agree. I too watched it all on TV. Dreadful. Thank goodness the right verdict at last. May all 96 now rest in peace.

Bradford, Hillsborough, the memories of both these tragedies are still raw in my mind. Watched the horrific events unfolding albeit on TV and the scars are shared. Both events could have been avoided and should never have happened! I do hope folk rest a little more easily tonight. Thank goodness for the far more stringent H&S we witness these days.

The difference is that while Bradford was an accident that should have been avoided, nodody lied to protect their ***k up like Dukenfield did at Hillsborough and statements were not altered to aportion blame to someone else.

I only mentioned Bradford as the two tragedies stick firmly in my mind and so very sad. Appalling that it's taken so long for justice to begin. 

With regard to Bradford, the following raises some questions http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/bradford-city/11539623/Bradford-fire-may-not-have-been-an-accident.html

Let's hope closure and justice will help healing. I cannot imagine the pain In all families and freinds effected by these events.

This mornings news on BBC was very emotional brought a tear to my eye what those family's have lived through all these yrs doesn't bare thinking about such a tragic and unnecessary punishment to have to wait for all these years for a verdict all because lies ! lies ! lies !  despicable behaviour 

I'm not entirely sure I understand why the current CC has been suspended in relation to events 27 years ago.

Poor decision making, poor leadership, not honouring an apology given two years ago. He was not in position at the time of Hillsborough, but think Rotherham Child sex scandal, and all the appalling decisions and culture around that. SYP have been poorly led continually since before the Miners Strike, early 1980's. Rank and file officers have to toe the line, do as the prevailing leadership and culture dictates. They have officers suspended now, before this outcome was announced. Background reading, different and varied sources makes interesting reading regarding Miners Strike, Hillsborough and Rotherham scandal.
