MLLAV1974

Cover-ups, incompetence... you name it & it's all there to be witnessed over decades! Our loved ones blown up over 51 years ago - 6 men sentenced for crimes that others committed - zero truth - zero justice - refused Public Inquiry. WHY? British institutions desperate to bury the truth of their own failings & in some cases collusion! Look at Hillsborough- fans were blamed for police incompetencies & covered up by every institution. Too many examples to name @charlhennessy1 @NowHillsborough

“Nothing, absolutely NOTHING is more important than the Truth.” #Justice4The21

That "mud of grief" never goes away no matter how much time passes. Families like Kate, ours & many others find the strength deep within our core because nothing, absolutely NOTHING is more important than the Truth. WE are their voice & WE fight for those no longer here to do so

7 innocent young women who will never get to enjoy motherhood, murdered by cowards who today claim their actions as “justified”. Their relatives treated with contempt by successive governments. These victims deserve a lot more support than we are giving them. #Justice4The21

Remembering the 7 young ladies who never had the opportunity to be a Mother or Grandmother, murdered by cowards & treated with utter contempt by successive govs Anne Hayes Maxine Hambleton Jane Davis Lynn Jane Bennett Marilyn Paula Nash Maureen Anne Roberts Pamela Joan Palmer

Proof that everything we've been saying for years re: Legacy Act, it's all one big scam & lie. As @MiamiShowband succinctly highlighted "How can they promise truth while still promising to hide it" This obscene act gives Gov total control of the narrative to hide the Truth

It is interesting to note that @jessphillips met, quite rightly, with Epstein victims today. However, Margaret (Mother of Maxine Hambleton, one of the 21 murdered in England's longest unsolved mass murder of C20th) who is a constituent of Jess has heard NOTHING from her MP. And Jess has still not responded to our open letter either. Where is Jess's loyalty to her constituent & our families that she has claimed to fully support in our plight for a Judge led Public Inquiry?

Time to Act @jessphillips this is not a good look. What are you playing at; 'Your silence is deafening!' Families of Birmingham pub bombings victims slam Jess Phillips and urge Labour minister to renew inquiry ca gbnews.com/news/birmingha…

Wonder if @jessphillips is reading this on GB News; 'Your silence is deafening!' Families of Birmingham pub bombings victims slam Jess Phillips and urge Labour minister to renew inquiry call gbnews.com/news/birmingha… @Justice4the21 Public Inquiry Now @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour

@Justice4the21 @Nigel_Farage @Keir_Starmer Why won’t Westminster give answers to the families of the 21? It’s a scandal!

Our families could ask the same of you Nigel regarding the murder of our loved ones who were slain on English soil 1974. Julie Hambleton asked you personally to help raise our plight - Nothing. 21 souls killed Do you have any interest in their Human Rights, The Right To Life?

That 👇 is EXACTLY what our families have been fighting 51 years for - Transparency! But, as ever You & @ShabanaMahmood @DanJarvisMBE et al have REFUSED us the very thing you're screaming for! Hypocrisy? Double standards? For me not for thee? Where is our S1 public inquiry?!

3/3 @jessphillips @ShabanaMahmood @DanJarvisMBE @PreetKGillMP @liambyrnemp His engagement with Dan Jarvis on our behalf elicited more reasons for not granting us a public inquiry than those provided by the Minister to us. The Minister assumed that we not would understand the reasons for refusal  we do and we reject the weakness of his reasons.  These reasons still do not explain why the simple criteria of section 1 of the Inquiries Act 2005 have not been satisfied in our request – that there is public concern about the pub bombings. There has been no explanation as to why it would not be in the public interest (not defined) to establish an independent, judge-led, ECHR complaint public inquiry into the Birmingham Pub Bombing 1974 given government proposals have failed and will fail, and ‘our’ inquest was fatally flawed by ruling out a basic question – amongst many many others – of who bombed Birmingham?  If your silence continues Jess, it will be a loud indictment, and we wish to hear your voice in your support again please.  Justice for the 21 Families

2/3 @jessphillips @ShabanaMahmood @PreetKGillMP @DanJarvisMBE @liambyrnemp This makes the role of Home Secretary as a Birmingham constituency MP in the matter of pub bombings also redundant.   What is it we are paying taxes for in terms of the continuing cost of electing democratic representatives who endorse a mandate to persuade us to vote for them and then sit mute on the back benches awaiting junior government appointments or Cabinet power or living in fear of their slim majorities (Yardley) at the next election or in the shadow of their own Party Whips?   How can this possibly be categorised as being moral, ethical or democratic?  Then there is Preet Gill Kaur MP, elected member for Birmingham Edgbaston, and not yet elevated from the packed government back-benches. She and Richard Parker, West Midlands Mayor appear to be keen advocates of the Troubles Bill now before Parliament and has suggested that J4the21 engage with its proposed mechanisms of investigation.  We will not. The Birmingham Pub Bombings 1974 have never been considered part of the Troubles. The Birmingham Pub Bombings have never been considered part of the out-workings of the Good Friday Agreement 1998.   The Birmingham Pub Bombings 1974 are not some pieces of a jigsaw puzzle to achieve reconciliation in post-Conflict Northern Ireland.   The Troubles Bill is not compliant with the standards of investigation demanded by the European Convention on Human Rights and its proposed ‘reformed’ institutions will never have the powers to interrogate the British government in this matter.   Only a statutory public inquiry can do this – as acquiesced to in the matter of the Omagh Bombing 1998 and the murder of Patrick Finucane 1989 and promised to and provided to  the Orgreave families in the Labour Party Manifesto (and as advocated for by Doughty Street Chambers, a professional home of the Prime Minister).   If this open letter to you Jess Phillips is an embarrassment or annoyance, then so be it.  Imagine how disappointed we, the families of those slain, feel.  No doubt this will find room in the Whitehall circular filing cabinet of broken promises and shattered allegiances. But it is written to call you out and to call you to account as a democratically elected Birmingham political representative.   As you stated in 2019 about the Labour Party: “But it doesn't own me. It's nothing more than a logo if it doesn't stand for something that I actually care about – it's just a f***ing rose.” (The Independent 30 March 2019). Do you still care about the Birmingham Pub Bombings 1974, J4the21 and the demand for truth, justice and accountability through an independent, judge-led, ECHR complaint public inquiry?   The mass murder of 21 innocent civilians in your ‘back yard’ – which was the back yard of the then Home Secretary Roy Jenkins in 1974 – cannot be picked up as ‘popular cause’ at one point and then dropped at another point because of political elevation to power.   If two Ministers in a government department – the Home Secretary and a Parliamentary Under-Secretary – are prevented in presenting a view to their constituents on this most high  profile of crimes – when one, you Jess Phillips,  have been such a key advocate and supporter – and when that Department itself has questions to answer about its role in 1974 and afterwards – then perhaps the decision must be taken again or decisions on statutory public inquiries (Birmingham, No, Orgreave, Yes, Oldham, No) should be entrusted to Committee of democratically elected politicians within the House of Commons?  A former Labour government Minister, Liam Byrne MP  (Hodge Hill and Solihull North), has taken up the cause that has apparently been abandoned by you Jess Phillips. His Parliamentary career has been rewarded by being granted the Chair of the powerful Select Committee (Business and Trade).

1/3 This is the Full letter emailed to @jessphillips which also discusses @ShabanaMahmood @PreetKGillMP @DanJarvisMBE & the only MP who appears to have any real backbone @liambyrnemp : Dear Jess Phillips  Over the last 12 years you have been a public advocate for the  Justice for the 21 campaign to secure justice, truth and accountability for the 21 victims of murder by the IRA in Birmingham on 21 November 1974.   Thank You for being the first and only MP to read out the 21 names in Parliament in 2016, some 42 years after the murder of our loved ones. Here are their names again to refresh everyone’s memory:  James Frederick Caddick  56 - John ‘Cliff’ Jones  51 – Stanley James Bodman 47 - John  Rowlands 46 - Charles Harper Grey  44 - Jimmy Craig 34 - Trevor George Thrupp  33  - Michael William Beasley 30 - Thomas Frederick Chaytor  28 - Marilyn Paula Nash 22 -Stephen John Whalley 21 – Eugene Thomas Reilly 23  - Desmond William Reilly 20  - Maureen Anne Roberts  20 - Pamela Joan Palmer 19 - Anne Hayes 19 - Maxine  Hambleton 18 - Lynn Jane Bennett 18 - Jane Elizabeth Davis  17- Paul Anthony Davies  17 - Neil "Tommy" Marsh 16  You were elected as an MP in 2015 representing the Birmingham Yardley constituency.   This is where Margaret Smith, the mother of Maxine Hambleton, still resides, and is as you know, aged 92 but still determined. Yardley is where a brother of Maxine also lives.    You are now in government as a Junior Minister in the Home Office with a portfolio which is unrelated to the Birmingham Pub Bombings 1974.   You are a Parliamentary Under-Secretary outside of Cabinet and therefore with no obligation to the doctrine of collective Cabinet responsibility.   Since being chosen to be in the Labour government in July 2024 there has been no communication regarding your ‘unstinting’ support for a section 1 statutory public inquiry into all the surrounding circumstances of the Birmingham Pub Bombings 1974.   You attended the 50th Memorial Commemoration Event of the pub bombings in Birmingham on 21 November 2024 and shared a platform with another public advocate for our cause, former WMCA Andy Street.    Your silence on our demand for a public inquiry is perplexing.   After all, it was you who were with us to emphasise our struggle with the British government outside the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham (6 October 2016).   You also helped to gather support and signatures on 18 April 2024 from your fellow Birmingham Parliamentary colleagues in a letter to the then Home Secretary supporting our demand for a public inquiry.  Your silence on our demand for a public inquiry is deafening.   Is there is a Ministerial Code prohibiting you from commenting on public affairs beyond your portfolio, or some form of Conflict of Interest for you to have any continuing involvement in expressing support for our campaign, that makes your position as a constituency MP representing our mother and brother as redundant.   Then there is the position of Shabana Mahmood MP, the current Home Secretary, and elected member for Birmingham Ladywood.  Being an MP in Birmingham and the Home Secretary is apparently also a convenient bar to engagement on this.   We presume this would not preclude her engagement if she were Foreign Secretary or Minister for Weather? Unless she were the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for  Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls.  Because of her position on the top-table she is unable to be involved in any decisions regarding our demand for a public inquiry. Therefore, the decision has, been delegated to her subordinate Dan Jarvis MP as Security Minister.  Why the Security Minister and not the Minister of State for Policing and Crime? Therefore, it appears that decision was taken completely independent of the Home Secretary or her advisors, civil servants and SPADS in a sterile corridor of government decision-making (and FOIA would confirm this?) ...

Other than blatantly lying, an equally effective method of rewriting history is to deliberately omit the truth.
