I was one of thousands watching the events as they happened on TV and the police actually pushing back the people as they tried to climb over the fence out of the throng. I will never forget one young chap shouting to a policeman "You're killing us". I know the police maintained the crowd were drunk but as all evidence was supposed to be presented at enquiries I was indignant that no blame was attached to the police or the stadium owners.
As Thatcher wouldn't have been watching the TV but would have relied on other officials to keep her informed I'm of the opinion that she wasn't given the full facts. I know the families say she knew everything but it's only decades later that we've learnt of cover ups.
