I reckon there's probably a reason why they're not releasing them, and you scousers might not be too happy about it when your campaign of pressure eventually succeeds. Boris Johnson was a journalist at a News International newspaper, is a senior politician, and he once claimed that, broadly speaking, drunk and ticketless fans were a cause at Hillsborough. In addition, the allegations that were printed in The Sun newspaper under the headline THE TRUTH, Mr. McKenzie has always stood by them despite being hated and vilified for printing them. The nature of these documents is such that no-one knows what they will show? Can you imagine if they backed up The Sun's claims, or apportioned blame to the Liverpool fans? You guys always assume that there are conspiracies that are working against you, maybe this one's working for you.
The first duty of the government is to protect it's citizens, that includes scousers, includes families of the dead, and includes protecting from psychological harm, maybe you guys should think about that, and move on. Some information is best locked in a vault and destroyed with acid.
Still, the release of literally every document might put an end to all the 'JFT96' nonsense (although I doubt it - a public enquiry and an apology form the Sun did nothing to slow it), so I'll sign it.
