I was in Liverpool on the day this happened. I was walking with my first baby in a pram when a woman ran out of her house crying that something terrible was happening and I should go home. I remember the dawning sense of horror, the relief for those who returned and the grief that took hold in the following days. I was lucky that everyone I knew came back but I had recently had a baby, was hormonal and cried for days anyway although I might have done regardless of hormones.
I am not a Sun reader, never have been, but I have never allowed it in my house since. I have had builders and others take it back to their vans or throw it away but it will never cross my threshold. Disgusting rag. The free issue a few years back was returned without a stamp in protest.
Like many other scousers I have not been directly involved in the Justice campaign but have supported with the odd donations and have always known they were right and the Police were lying
By coincidence I was back in Liverpool on the day of the verdict. Even though I was not in any way involved I was incredibly relieved and moved. Words cannot express what those people have gone through and their courage in fighting for this truth. I hope justice follows swiftly
