Liverpool FC Forum

The new Hillsborough Justice Campaign Shop will be open tomorrow Sunday 17th August 2003 from around 12.00 am for the Chelsea match at Anfield
The new shop is now located at 178 Walton Breck Road, across the road and to the right of the Kop, opposite the Albert pub.

The new postal address is:-

Hillsborough Justice Campaign
PO Box 1089
178 Walton Breck Road
Liverpool
L69 4WR

The website address remains the same:-

The telephone system should be ready in the near future and it is hoped to retain the same number.

Everyone is welcome to call in and talk to members of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign team and meet fellow Reds. You will be made very welcome.

There will be many items available for you to buy with all monies raised going towards the campaign for Justice and for the upkeep of the shop.

Badges, books, a variety of T-shirts, posters and many other items.

There are many pictures on the walls of the main part to the shop relating to Hillsborough and Liverpool FC in general. These extend into a walkway at one end of the shop, where at the far end there are plans for the future, to access the outside at the back which it is hoped will be transformed into a garden of remembrance.

Upstairs there is a large meeting room at the front where the committee will hold their meetings every Monday evening. On matchday everyone is welcome to sit and have a chat with members of the team and fellow Reds. The room includes a kitchen area with facilities for making a hot drinks.

The middle room is the campaign’s office, and at the end of the corridor is a bathroom.

The Hillsborough Justice Campaign shop opens its doors to everyone, whoever you are wherever you’re from all are welcome.

Discussions are in hand with a view to opening the shop during the week on non-match days. The specific days and times to be agreed.

*********************************************

Justice is a complex notion and progress towards it can only be measured at a given point.

Justice can only ever be achieved when there is a level of responsibility taken for the disaster, and the lies and misinformation spread in the aftermath as part of an organised establishment cover-up, are fully realised.

The bereaved families should be happy with the process, and each should be given a proper inquest into the death of their loved ones.

The lies and incompetence of the steering group of Liverpool Solicitors set up in the aftermath of the disaster should be fully examined and reported.

There should be a full and frank inquiry into the events that occurred at Hillsborough after 3.15pm. Events like the police refusing entry to ambulances with statements like "they are still fighting on the pitch". Events like taking blood from children in order to establish the alcohol levels, to try to enhance the cover-up.

To a certain extent a level of Justice has been achieved in the information that has been uncovered and put into the public domain. The fact that people on this board, for example, are aware of the cover-ups of the disaster. The fact that the Justice Campaign has so much support for its fight. The fact that the Justice Campaign survives and prospers in the face of such adversity is a level of Justice in itself.
The boycott of the S*n, and actions over FHM, the BBC, Maxim and the like in themselves, show us a level of justice.

But justice is not a throwaway line, it is not a simple set goal and in many ways Justice over Hillsborough is so diverse an issue that we could write forever on the subject.

If I had to plot a point that will show that we are on the road to achieving justice, it would be to have the inquest into Kevin Williams death re-examined. The weight of evidence is there and if and when it is proved that the coroner both lied and acted with ineptitude, the deaths of others will have to be re-examined.
This is the only way that justice can be achieved, one step at a time, almost like peeling an onion, taking each layer off to reveal another until you eventually reach the core.

Justice is not something that is black and white, justice is the truth of Hillsborough and Justice is a struggle. It will not be achieved overnight, but it will be achieved, and it is only through truth and accountability that it can be achieved.
