I would just like a simple investigation in who disappeared the CCTV camera videos, what exactly the original, undoctored police reports said. I think the government's decision to open up the archive is a definite step forward.<br /><br />I think the G20 protests should be dealt with two, but you can't ignore how the G20 incidents were pretty much inevitable given the air of immunity to being held accountable for their actions which the police have built up over the years. Hillsborough was definitely part of that.Gilman Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06607416440240634159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138994904411225576.post-58931689910418992722009-04-23T06:39:00.000-07:002009-04-23T06:39:00.000-07:00i disagree about the benefit of re-opening this ca...i disagree about the benefit of re-opening this case -the people involved will have moved on, as indeed has the law, the policy, the whole design of stadiums and the game itself. from the current G20 protests it seems that further investigation into the *current* actions of police might be of more useful and a far better use of public money.OOMhttp://www.oneopinionatedmother.blog.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
