Re: Hillsborough
AFAIK the only falsehood concerned the opening of THAT gate that resulted in an out of control mob of football "supporters" being allowed access to where they had no right to go, done so in the hope that a violent confrontation would be avoided.
Based on the pure animalistic behaviour of the mob once inside the ground it did avoid a conflict that would have taken place, and no-one thought for a moment that the actions of the Liverpool mob would act as they did.
So the root cause of what resulted was not any actions or inactions by the police, it was the behaviour of a rabid mob of Liverpool football hooligans, no doubt many of whom were far from sober.
