Jan, this is incredible writing and an emotionally raw story. You were one of my favourite players as a boy, and I think you've just become one of my favourite writers as a man and a dad. The harrowing battles these families have fought is testament to their determination to see justice. What makes it so clear we NEED the Hillsborough Law is that your words here are almost identical to the words around other public sector scandals like Post Office, Grenfell, Windrush, the SEND scandal affecting tens of thousands of families. All different cases, all united by a common thread of institutional defensiveness from the very public servants who should be acting in the interests of those they serve.
