Withdraw Hillsborough law amendment, urge Liverpool and Manchester mayors
Draft creates ‘too broad an opt-out’ for intelligence chiefs to decide what information is released after major incident
The mayors of Liverpool and Manchester have said an amendment to the Hillsborough law should be withdrawn, saying it did not do enough to prevent future cover-ups.
The Liverpool city region mayor, Steve Rotheram, and the Greater Manchester mayor, Andy Burnham, said the amendment “creates too broad an opt-out” by allowing intelligence officials to decide what information is released to investigators after a major incident. Continue reading...

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

FACT OF THE DAY. 2 January 1971. 66 football spectators were killed in a crush on a steep and frosty exit stairway when leaving Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow at the end of a Rangers versus Celtic derby match. It was the worst British football stadium disaster until the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

None of the former officers accused by the IOPC will face disciplinary proceedings because they have all retired
Twelve police officers would have faced disciplinary cases of gross misconduct for a catalogue of professional failings relating to the Hillsborough disaster if they were still serving, the police watchdog has said.
However, no former officer named by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) will face disciplinary proceedings because they have all retired. Some, including Peter Wright, the chief constable of South Yorkshire police at the time of the 1989 disaster, have died. Continue reading...

Reckon this should lead the news, not Maccabi Tel Aviv.
New figures from Shelter show that the number of children homeless or in temporary accommodation in England has reached its highest level since records began.
172,420 kids without a permanent home of their own- an 8% increase in a single year.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".
