Hillsborough: The Lies End

On the other, today was a validation, of sorts. It shows that if you fight hard enough for something worth fighting for, and if you refuse to accept the scorn of those you know to be wrong, then you can drag the facts into the light.

That it happened is a tragedy, that it took so long to get to where we are today is a travesty, but that a group of ordinary people can be made extraordinary by their desire to right a wrong, and can expose the self-interested and self-serving liars for what they are, is a victory of immense significance.

It is a victory that we cannot help but respect, even as we acknowledge that it pales to nothing when set alongside the horror of both what happened, and what happened afterwards.

The last word goes to Margaret Aspinall, chair of the Hillsborough Families Support Group. "The 96 rest in peace for the first time."

We are not here to just respond to the news....We are here to attempt to CREATE the news....

I've no doubt whatsoever that the Madeleine Case will be satisfactorily resolved. I suspect it has been resolved already - a long time ago - but not satisfactorily.

Whatever the underlying issues preventing progress at Judicial level, one might take heart from the reaction of our Prime Minister who is now even more unlikely to want to end up with egg on his face - even many years down the line - from failing to prod and poke SY, Diplomats, Foreign Office and anybody and everybody else into worthwhile action.

Frankly, if there is a blackmail element involving the putative disclosure of unpalatable goings on anywhere within the Crown, Government or elsewhere, then I do not care one whit if those involved are uncovered and dealt with.

I am not one of those who are for ever knocking the UK - the state of a Nation does not depend solely upon others but upon all of us - and we remain free to do whatever we can to keep the pressure on and to keep this unresolved matter in the public eye.
