PICS: People are furious there’s no mention of Hillsborough on the front pages of two major UK newspapers

It has taken 27 years for justice to be done.

The families of the 96 Liverpool fans killed at Hillsborough on that dark day in April 1989 have fought relentlessly for truth. They always knew what really happened that day. But the darkest of conspiracies was cooked up by police and elements in the media to smear and blacken the name of fans killed and injured in the pens of the Leppings Lane End. But finally a verdict of unlawful killing was returned at the Hillsborough inquest after two years of evidence: the police were at fault and fan behaviour did not contribute to the disaster. This landmark verdict and what it means for families, fans and the whole British establishment is huge news. It was splashed across every newspaper front page in the UK, from the Liverpool Echo to the Daily Mirror. https://twitter.com/LivEchonews/status/724958796989222912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw But there were two glaring exceptions that did not have this most historic judicial decisions on the front cover of their publications. The Sun and the Times. There's not even a mention of Hillsborough on either. https://twitter.com/suttonnick/status/725071342631026688 https://twitter.com/suttonnick/status/725073901248778240 It's significant because the Rupert Murdoch-owned Sun newspaper is infamous on Merseyside for running another front page about Hillsborough 27 years ago. https://twitter.com/forbeesta/status/724930125314318337 Editor at the time, Kelvin MacKenzie, ran with the headline 'The Truth' underscored with baseless allegations that fans urinated on police, pick-pocketed dead victims and prevented police giving the kiss of life to some of the victims at Hillsborough. The tabloid has since apologised, with a front page in 2012 entitled 'The Real Truth', but Merseyside will never forgive The Sun for smearing dead and injured Liverpool fans. But with the Hillsborough verdict vindicating fans after all these year, you'd imagine it might be apt for the News Corp title to finally give the families of the dead some justice. Yet instead of giving the story a front page billing, it appears that there's just a small piece tucked away on page 10. This is how it was justified on television... https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/725081480003612672 Long-time Merseyside football writer at The Times Tony Barrett appeared stunned at th editorial decision of the Murdoch papers to largely ignore the story... https://twitter.com/TonyBarretTimes/status/725076412936376320 But if Barrett reacted with shock, fans on Twitter reacted with fury... https://twitter.com/richinnorthants/status/725099711116500992 https://twitter.com/_lfcjoel/status/725077759765155840 https://twitter.com/MagsNews/status/725076706873204736 https://twitter.com/TheAnfieldChat/status/725075652337094656 https://twitter.com/ViktorFagerLFC/status/725074224105316352 https://twitter.com/ianprior/status/724926616837742599 https://twitter.com/StephenMangan/status/725081960603877376 https://twitter.com/SunApology/status/725094855379148800 https://twitter.com/Sonjamclaughlan/status/725081380498104320 https://twitter.com/OffsideLiam/status/725078838208815105 https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/725085803286790148 This article orginally appeared on JOE.co.uk.
