Police blamed 'drunk Liverpool fans' for Hillsborough disaster

Now classified documents have been leaked in which the Merseyside police are revealed also to have blamed Liverpool fans for drunkenness and for turning up without tickets. The proper Hillsborough inquiry concluded that it was the police themselves that had so mishandled the situation at the football ground that loss of life and injury ensued. Michael Crick is on the case, but it may prove to be another instance in which News International/police collusion came to something of a sticky end. This story is annoying because, like so many, I remember the headlines as though they were yesterday. I also remember the Sun and its awful condemnation of the dead, without evidence.  I also remember the police reportedly, allegedly saying that the crowd was a rowdy group of drunks etcetera, etcetera. Therefore, when going through the motion of asking the police to investigate the Corporate Homicide of Andy Miller, it was not a surprise that not only was the police disinterested, but the IPCC proved to be both useless and ineffective.  One has to wonder why, in one of the most advanced civilisations on Earth, where the average decent Britain once had great respect, and I hope still has, for the ordinary copper, is what is happening with Leveson in London destroying all that faith?  What happened in Lancashire certainly leave a sour taste in the mouths of victims, not only of this horrendous disaster, but all others that Lancashire and neighbouring police SERVICES have been involved with. Therefore it is about time there was a clean-out of these 'Old Boy's Club', these insidious closed shops, these cabals that destroy the fabric of society instead of enhancing and improving it.  If the Ministry of Justice was even mildly serious about Justice, then prosecution of the bailiff that intimidated a 78 year old stroke/heart attack patient out into the icy cold January winter air, which left him dead on the freezing pavement of Accrington town centre, that would be a beginning.
