Ste Purse - Actor/Campaigner

Really looking forward to speaking at the opening of the fantastic Candour & Communities exhibition by @cfpjustice, inspired by the @NowHillsborough collective. I’m honoured to be alongside one of the finest campaigners for truth and justice, @Malriel from the Primodos Campaign. The exhibition is open to the community all week until Thursday at the brilliant @MACDovecot, hosted at my Centre for Social Justice. Hope to see you all tomorrow ✊ #HillsboroughLawNow #WestDerby

Hillsborough Law Now update - Following a meeting with some of our directors on 6th march, the Attorney General and Ministers pledged to contact @NowHillsborough by 20th March, with a resolution to the amendment relating to Intelligence Services. That deadline was not met, and we are now being told that the government needs just a few more days. This week, we also wrote to the Home Secretary to ask her to meet with us, given that she is the cabinet minister responsible for MI5! However, she has refused to meet us on the basis that the Attorney General has the issue in hand. But he does not! This is what we are up against. The motto appears to be "Tell them what they want to hear, and it will keep them quiet a little bit longer." Well, we won't stay silent. Silence did not expose the cover-up of the Hillsborough Disaster. Hillsborough Survivors were not vindicated because they stayed silent. Silence didn't expose the cover up of Labrats, Infected blood, Post Office Scandal, the Birmingham pub Bombings, the Manchester Arena terror attack, the Covid Pandemic, the Primdos medication, or the cover up of the death of little Zane Gbangbola. Silence did not expose the lies told by South Yorkshire Police and the contempt they had for the members of Orgreave. Silence didn't expose the rape and sexual exploitation of the young girls who were victims to Grooming Gangs. And even though Nottingham Police Force tried their hardest to keep the press silent, it was the voices of others that exposed their disgraceful failures. There have been times when our voices are all that we had. Let's not forget that this Bill was pledged by 15th April 2025, and we are now approaching 15th April 2026! The Public Accountability Bill aims to give a legal duty of candour to ALL public servants and officials. That has absolutely nothing to do with National Security, and let us be very clear, we would never call for a law that compromised the safety of the people of this country. Quite the contrary. We want to protect the people of our country, and we want the Hillsborough Law that was pledged in this Labour Partys Manifesto, because THEIR Silence is DEAFENING and we will not be treated like this any more. Charlotte Hennessy, Margaret Aspinall, Sue Roberts, and Steve Kelly. HILLSBOROUGH LAW NOW.

@charlhennessy1 @StePurse @NowHillsborough The Windrush/home office scandal is another reminder that silence allows injustice. It’s really sad to see the government dragging this out.
