Subject: RE: Hillsborough Collective tops the charts
The Liverpool families have come out of this disaster with great credit. They have had to fight for 23 years to reveal the truth and clear the names of the fans.

Their quest has revealed serious failings in virtually every party that was involved;

The Football Association
Sheffield Wednesday Football Club
Sheffield City Council
South Yorkshire Police Force
South Yorkshire Ambulance Service
The Press - including Whites Press Agency, The Sun and The Spectator
The Coroner
The Government and Home Secretary

Most shameful of all were the attempts of the police and the ambulance service to shift the blame onto the fans.

Football fans suffered and died, but nobody in authority has yet been disciplined for their faults or for their part in the cover-up.
