ON 15 SEPTEMBER 2025, the UK Government announced:
“Hillsborough Law to ensure truth never concealed by state again.”
Landmark legislation a legacy for the 97 lost at Hillsborough and a tribute to the families that have fought for change.
On 15 APRIL 2023 I wrote a blog about the Hillsborough Disaster. It was painful, reliving that day to put into print. I made a video, which was even harder as I relived footage of what had occurred. I am a Liverpool fan. I go to Anfield to watch my team. It’s sport. It’s entertainment. It ought to be no more than just those. On 15 April 1989, it was! 😢
The youngest victim of the Hillsborough Disaster was aged just 10, which would have been around the same age that I was visiting these grounds. My mother put her trust in my best friend’s dad to keep me safe and he in turn, I guess, put his trust in the appropriate authorities to keep us all safe. Thirdly, I am a Liverpool fan and have been since the age of first visiting these grounds. Lastly, as my best friend once did with his son, I now take my son to Anfield to watch the home team whom he also supports.
