At least you can have dinner. Think of Cliff! Food goes through him like a Porsche.

That's wonderful news, and a lovely tribute to the families that tragically lost their loved ones

Let's hope people continue to buy it, being number 1 is a bonus but the amount of sales is more important, I hope the families have a better chrimbo this year after finally being vindicated JFT96

Its brilliant that its raised so much money towards the families legal costs and also that it keeps the ongoing fight for justice in the public arena.

After the truth finally came out I felt compelled to email Andy Burnham. Im not big into my politics but I was at Anfield when he came up to speak on the 20th anniversary.
He took a barrel load of abuse that day but he stuck to his word and helped to start overturning the biggest cover up in history. He even mentioned the email I sent him in this interview> Its in the last paragraph.

David Conn deserves all the praise he gets, too. He's always made it perfectly clear that there was a huge injustice and expressed bafflement at how it's gone unaddressed so long.

I stress the word "always"; plenty of journalists are tut-tutting about it now, when they weren't nearly so forceful in the past, even though a cursory bit of research made clear the gross flaws that have festered for over 2 decades.

Even amidst the vindication that 2012 has brought, that still stinks to me. It's great that there's so much publicity about it now, but it also serves to ram home the scale on which damning evidence was overlooked for so long, by so many. Part of me feels that these people shouldn't be allowed to change their tune unchecked just because, through the efforts of others, the evidence could be ignored no longer.

I'll always hugely respect Conn for this. For years he's been writing with the conviction which most of the media have only adopted for the last few months. He called people on the sickening misdeeds that have gone unchecked when it almost, incredibly, got swept under the carpet for good, something which you feel the media outside of Liverpool wouldn't have been fussed about.
