Hillsborough files release on 5 live now

[Dougie Do'ins]

Fucking hell Dougie, I'd never seen that photo before. Just...I don't fucking know what?

That's why I tagged it mate. The same photo has been on the Echo's website all week and like hundreds more, is readily available with a simple google search.

 

As someone in the thread has said, 'if ever there was a photo to sum up what happened that day, that photo was it'.

[gkmacca]

Really really powerful stuff here, hairs on the back of my neck standing on end.

 

All brilliant so far but particularly Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram. Take a bow lads, stunningly powerful speeches there.

 

Yes, those two deserve lasting admiration and respect. In fact, everyone so far has been good.

Special mention for Maria Eagle MP for Garston as well who made some very valid points and pushing for disclosure of sources of reports by News International. This disclosure should not be confined to governments, police and other official documents.

 

There are other lying bastards out there who need to be ousted.

 

Steve Rotherham was excellent. Pitched perfectly and covered every detail without getting too emotional. He is a credit to the city of liverpool. Had me choked.

[gkmacca]

Well done to Frank Field too for calling on News International to make a belated apology.

[The Flâneur]

I had to go out, was there any response to the call for other organisations(inc those representing the police) to release their information?

[robslappa]

There's been some very moving speeches from both sides of the house. I missed Steve Rotherham's opening remarks, but managed to catch most of Andy Burnham's.

 

Andy Burnham has been fantastic throughout the last couple of years. It took a lot for him to stand up at the memorial service a couple of years ago and it's to his great credit that he's delivered on everything that he said he would since.

 

This is first time since Hillsborough that I've actually got any confidence that we'll eventually get to hear/see all the facts.

[Moe Town]

I'm being pulled by so many emotions here, mainly sadness and anger.

Here is Rotheram's, mate.

Some awesome stuff. Just a sickening shame this has to be gone through to get some answers and justice decades later.

[Byrnie]

Can watch it live here too.

Alison McGovern was brilliant too.

[Faustus]

Alison McGovern, the MP for Wirral South, spoke very eloquently on BBC Parliament just then.

 

Today has helped restore my faith in British politics a little.

[Guest ShoePiss]

Nice interjection there bringing up Ken Bates and electric fences. Love it.

I'm a big, burly bloke. Had to turn over when the Tory MP was giving Brucie's account of the disaster. Just watched her and she got me. So emotional.

Here is Rotheram's, mate.

Cheers for that mate.

[ScouseAndy]

This has been excellent. Very proud of local MPs and those from further afield who've cared enough to get involved.

[Faustus]

This fella from Sunderland has been brilliant.

[Juniper]

Alison McGovern was a credit to herself. Very emotional speech.

[Antynwa]

This is weird, really weird.

[Guest ShoePiss]

This is weird, really weird.

 

What do you mean? That there's across the board support of the cause? If so I agree, for the longest time it's felt like just us and some supporters of other clubs.

In a good way. I'm watching this, and I feel as if something momentous is happening.

Deffo!

 

Only tuned in from about 8pm, has there been any opposition?

[Faustus]

Same here, mate- since the end of that Inside Out programme. Every MP who has spoken so far has been brilliant.

['Kaka]

If you've only just turned it on, get on the official channel and watch Steve Rotheram and Andy Burnham's speeches. Utterly magnificent.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

John Mann was also excellent there.
