If anyone has the time or inclination to read the full reports behind the Hillsborough tragedy, it is pretty apparent that in the 1980's the police, from top to bottom, were in effect working as Whitehall's boot boys and Whitehall in turn, would cover the backs of the police via the media, even if it meant fabricating stories.
