I'm sure some late arriving fans at Hillsborough arrived with a few drinks in them, in fact I know so because a friend was in a local pub before the game. However a police force that lies for nigh on thirty years is a disgrace. The victims were probably all people who arrived in a timely fashion, they were always innocent sports fans. I've said before that the British Police Forces in general are not fit for purpose, but South Yorkshire are quite possibly the worst of a terrible bunch. It's not just Hillsborough, but child abuse victims too. A Police Complaints official was making the point on television last night that an entire generation has come to mistrust the police. Before trying to change their minds we need to create a police force that is fit for purpose.
