UK Public Office (Accountability Bill)
aka "the Hillsborough Law"

A Bill to Impose a duty on public authorities and public officials to act with candour, transparency and frankness; to make provision for the enforcement of that duty in their dealings with inquiries and investigations; to require public authorities to promote and take steps to maintain ethical conduct within all parts of the authority; to create an offence in relation to public authorities and public officials who mislead the public; to create further offences in relation to the misconduct of persons who hold public office and to abolish the common law offence of misconduct in public office; to make provision enabling persons to participate at inquiries and investigations where the conduct of public authorities may be in issue; and for connected purposes.

Michael Mansfield ... law talking guy ...

(classic underachiever (in my opinion))

A #BritishRepublican,[2] #vegetarian, #socialist [3] and self-described "radical lawyer",[4] he has participated in prominent and controversial court cases and inquests including the Birmingham Six, #BloodySundayMassacre, the #HillsboroughDisaster and the deaths of #JeanCharlesDeMenezes and Princess Diana[5] and the #McLibel case.

The #HillsboroughLaw demanding a duty of candour among public officials appears in danger of being so watered-down before it reaches Parliament that it will be ineffectual. And the Prime Minister will be to blame.

TRIGGER WARNING: This film is about the #HillsboroughDisaster which took place on 15 April 1989. Many people are still affected by what happened and from what little I know, still haven't received justice. Please take care ☮️

(With so much going on with #Palestine 🇵🇸 , I didn't get to put this film up in April) ⚽

FYI: For those of us who saw him in the film #Legend, the bloke who's playing a dad with the big moustache is #ChristopherEccleston who played Nipper Read, and he was also the 9th incarnation of the Doctor in Dr Who

#TheSun once again shows incredible insensitivity when #footballfans die, this time over the death of a #BoltonWanderers supporter. #IainPurslow.

#AlexChalk's failure to put through the full #HillsboroughLaw instead of the #HillsboroughCharter appears to be about protecting MPs from consequences of lies, But at least the police will be kept in check at last.
