Scarred Liverpool fans likening their treatment in Paris to the Hillsborough tragedy shames French police and Uefa.
Falsely blaming victims is another brazen cover-up for the failure of the organisers to let ticket holders safely into the Stade de France for Saturday’s Champions League final.
Mercifully, nobody was killed but the terror of those tear-gassed and pepper-sprayed, including children, is a stain on Europe’s

Evidence the Prime Minister’s wife held another lockdown party not mentioned in an official Whitehall report that Downing Street’s accused of trying to water down means we still haven’t got to the bottom of what happened in No 10.
Boris Johnson’s apologists, defending the indefensible by claiming lawbreaking by a PM and his team is no big deal, couldn’t be wider of the mark.
Because the contempt, recklessness and bad behaviour is the misuse of power by a Conservative misruling our country at the considerable cost of every voter save wealthy Tory donors and cronies.
