The Hillsborough Law: Truth, Justice, and Why It Matters Today

For decades, families of the 97 Hillsborough victims were denied honesty and justice. Public officials lied, delayed, and covered up. Now, the long-awaited Hillsborough Law, formally the Public Office Accountability Bill, introduces a legal duty of candour, forcing officials to tell the truth during major disaster investigations, with criminal penalties if they don’t.

In this episode, Marvyn Harrison breaks down why this law matters far beyond football. From Grenfell survivors to Post Office workers, from Black families in police custody cases to maternity wards, cover-ups cost lives, trust, and justice.

This is about:

• Truth as protection for families.
• Ending decades of lies and silence.
• Rebuilding trust in institutions.
• Justice for communities failed by the state.
• Setting a global example of truth as law.

Truth, justice, and accountability aren’t optional. They’re non-negotiable.
