Hillsborough

In April 2016, new inquests into the Hillsborough disaster of 1989 concluded that the 96 Liverpool fans who died at the football ground had been unlawfully killed. The jury found that the fans’ behavior had not contributed. South Yorkshire Police had claimed that drunkenness among fans contributed to the disaster.

In November 2017, Bishop James Jones published his review of the families’ experience. He called it “The Patronising Disposition of Unaccountable Power.” It described how the institution had closed ranks and refused to disclose information.
