Hillsborough Disaster petition

I've signed it. I remember being at Preston North End that day - the announcer at Deepdale said "The match has been abandoned due to a pitch invasion by Liverpool fans".

We got back in the car and heard Peter Jones on the radio talking about using Hillsbrough's gym as a makeshift morgue. Horrible, horrible day.

I hope the families get justice and some closure - I can't help feeling that after this long though, they won't get either.

I defy anyone to listen to Peter Jones' summing-up of that day without choking.

There you go.

I can almost forgive the crush and what happened.  But the cover up, the mis-information and the callous way in which relatives were treated is unforgivable. This was a second, totally unavoidable, tragedy.

Cautious grounds for optimism:

If I'm reading this right, it looks like these documents were going to be released anyway. No harm in keeping the pressure up, but the FOI request from the BBC looks like it's been as effective in making sure they're all released.
