Hillsborough: When police admitted ‘The Truth’ headline was a “bald-faced lie”.
Police were admitted to have told a “bald-faced lie” about supporters’ behaviour at the Hillsborough disaster, and that The Sun’s ‘The Truth’ headlines were false.
Four days after the disaster, on April 19, 1989, the Sun newspaper printed a front-page headline claiming ‘The Truth’ that supporters picked the pockets of victims as well as assaulting and urinating on attending police officers.
