Now the whole world knows that there was a state-led cover up (instigated by Thatcher and her Myrmidons) and a campaign to vilify the Liverpool FC fans and the people of Liverpool (mainly using the Sun newspaper) to shift the blame away from the police.
It may have taken 27 years, but the people of Liverpool have been totally vindicated and exonerated.

Verity is a stainless steel and bronze statue created by Damien Hirst. The 20.25-metre (66.4 ft) tall sculpture stands on the pier at the entrance to the harbour in Ilfracombe, Devon, looking out over the Bristol Channel towards South Wales. It has been loaned to the town for 20 years. The name of the piece refers to "truth" and Hirst describes his work as a "modern allegory of truth and justice".
The statue depicts a pregnant woman holding aloft a sword while carrying the scales of justice and standing on a pile of law books. Half of the sculpture shows the internal anatomy of the pregnant woman, with the fetus clearly visible. The stance has been described as a reference to Little Dancer of Fourteen Years by Edgar Degas, a work that previously inspired Hirst when he created Virgin Mother.
The sculpture was cast in stainless steel and bronze in 40 separate sections by Pangolin Editions. The sword, which gives the statue much of its height, and the upper left arm is one polymer-strengthened fibre glass piece. Before being cleared for erection the statue was subjected to tests in a wind tunnel to ensure that it could cope with high winds and spray from the sea. Measuring 25cm (10 inches) higher than the Angel of the North, Verity became the tallest statue in the UK when it was put into place.
Members of North Devon Council referred to the controversial nature of the statue as a potential boost to tourism. Local reaction was very mixed, with those critical of the work calling it "ugly" and stating that "it isn't suitable for a Victorian seaside town". Before they allowed planning permission the council received 100 letters from people who objected to the installation of the statue, and 177 letters supporting the application. In August 2013 councillors announced that the statue had a "tremendous effect" with people visiting the town solely to see Hirst's work.
Hirst, who lives in Ilfracombe, has loaned the statue to the town for 20 years starting from its erection on 16 October 2012.

I met my buddy, Jerry, for lunch today at Domo for some delicious sushi. We first met way back in 2nd grade at the Catholic school we attended. Through the 21 years I've known him, Jerry introduced me to comic books, Magic: the Gathering, Warhammer, high school parties, women, and plenty other forms of debauchery which shouldn't be mentioned here.
I took this opportunity to take more photos of people, an area in my photography skills that sorely needs to develop. This is a photo of the tat on the inside of his left forearm.
Veritas Aequitas is often translated as either "Truth And Justice" or "Truth Is Justice" and, arguably, many young men got this tattoo after watching the cult hit Boondock Saints, which is a fantastic, gritty movie that got a limited release in theaters for less than a month.
Peeking, stealing, unjust, publicly funded "art" that IS a direct representation of the Court System. Guilty until proven innocent and even then it is a sliding scale system.
Quotes from previous photo's article about this hideous tax dollar funded "art" work that has No Scales of Justice and slits in her blindfold.
---------
She dismissed a statue holding scales as "a little traditional."
"The figure herself is the scales of justice," she said.
She didn't originally want a blindfold but compromised by adding one with slits for the statue's eyes.
"So she's blind but she can see."
Weird statue on Ilfracombe quay. It's about 30ft high but I don't know the name. I believe it's meant to represent truth and justice. Anyway I liked the way I caught the sun flare just off the side of this one.
🌟 A Prayer for Justice and Truth 🌟
رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْفَاتِحِينَ
"Our Lord! Decide between us and our people in truth, for You are the best to decide."
