  "South Yorkshire Police said it would consider whether a review was needed." [Quote from the link at #1]
  
  Eye read...
  'South Yorkshire chief constable David Crompton was profusely apologetic when the findings of the Hillsborough were released last month.
  He issued a statement saying:"South Yorkshire Police is a very different place in 2012 from what it was 23 years ago and we will be fully open and transparent in helping to find answers to the questions posed by the panel today." He said there could not be a cover-up in the force today because the practices prevailing in the 1980's in no way correspond to "the sorts of standards of openness and transparency that any of us would expect these days".'
  However. One former South Yorkshire Policeman, who was one of those to discover his 1989 statement had been altered without his knowledge, was contacted by post a week before the Hillsborough report was published and advised not to speak to the media.
  
  While I am sure that we have much to learn about the ins and outs of how the State conducted itself back then I doubt that, while we are Governed by Thatcherite supporters and apologists, much would see the light of day.
