Tony Edwards

"On the 15th April 1989 I was in one of the few ambulances allowed on the Sheffield Wednesday football pitch. I was not called to give evidence to the Taylor inquiry in 1989/90. I will be required to give evidence at the new inquest into the deaths of the 96. South Yorkshire Police, Yorkshire Ambulance Service, Sheffield City Council and I have all been awarded Interested Person status. This status, amongst other things, allows an opportunity to have legal representation at the inquest.

 

While the Police Authorities, the Ambulance Service and the City Council will have their legal teams paid for the taxpayer, I currently have to find every penny of my legal costs. 

 

Ambulance Service staff involved with the disaster have been offered general representation by the Ambulance Service Lawyers but as this is only to serve the interests of the Ambulance Service it will inevitably act as a way to gag me. I cannot sit alongside the Ambulance Service Managers as I am one of their biggest critics. I should not be silenced by not being able to afford advice and support."

 

 

Petition

"We, the undersigned, call upon the Home Secretary, Theresa May, to intervene in the Hillsborough Inquest and ensure that ex-ambulanceman Tony Edwards, who has remained consistently critical of the emergency response to the Hillsborough Disaster of 1989, is given full financial support by the State for representation of his own choosing on a par with the representation afforded to the Police and Ambulance Service."

Can mods edit the title to say Hillsborough petition?

 

I have also messaged two big Liverpool Facebook groups to get on the case.

I just hope that people like me who are from outside the UK still have their signature and comments recognised as relevant.

edit - @ aussie_scouser it was optional as to whether you filled out your address or not and as it's not on a UK Government website I think we'll be fine. There have been related petitions in the past I didn't sign because the site stated it was for UK citizens only but I didn't see any such statement this time around.
