You could argue they've had 36 years to come forward or tell the truth.

I can just imagine how you'd feel reading that if one of your loved ones died at Hillsborough.
 
The police federation is not a union but acts like one and stands up for its members.
Very different from the force itself.

Not that the distinction will help the feelings of the victims' families of course.
 
Odious statement. Oh, my heart bleeds for those poor former officers because they don't have "the right to reply", but who would have faced charges under the current law.

They should count themselves lucky they're not being hauled in front of a court of law.

Feel so sorry for the relatives of those who died, they must be exhausted by it all by now.
 
For clarity- it’s obviously a shameful, tone deaf statement. I just wanted to make the point that it’s not a statement from South Yorkshire police as the OP said. It’s an important distinction.

Don't worry about it, Darran hates being wrong even though he often is.
