To clarify your points...

The families of people who died like animals in that cage have 'absolutely no responsibility over events.'

The families are not responsible at all as far as we are aware. Unless they were there and were involved in stuff we don't know about then you can't be fully convinced though. But no, I'm not blaming them for anything.

The suggestion of moving on.

That was not my suggestion, but that of someone involved. I do believe though that keep dragging everything through the courts so long after doesn't do anybody any good. I understand the families perspective, that they want some form of accountability and I'm with them completely. However there are a few people within the Hillsborough victims community who will stop at nothing to absolve all responsibility. What I'm saying is that if the verdict finds that there is partial blame attributed to behaviour of Liverpool fans then they will keep dragging it on regardless. I don't think that's healthy for anyone, if there is sufficient evidence to suggest that there is a partial blame there.

Lastly the policeman who was relieved of his duties has previously gone to the press about it but was silenced and threatened at a level which he couldn't compete with on a financial or legal level. It's something that will affect the lives of a number of people involved and not my place to go and get involved with the press. It's up to those involved if they want to pursue it.

I simply said it here just to make it clear that this enquiry, whilst well meaning and worthwhile, isn't quite as transparent as people might believe. I didn't say it to score any points or anything. I could have gone to the papers and made some cash a long time ago if I wanted to do that.
