A sister of one of the Birmingham pub bombing victims has started a petition for a public inquiry into the attack.
Two bombs exploded in the Tavern in the Town and The Mulberry Bush pubs, killing 21 people, in November 1974.
Six men from Northern Ireland were jailed but their convictions were quashed in 1991.
Julie Hambleton wants a public inquiry to find out who was behind the blasts that killed her sister Maxine.
Her e-petition is called 21 Reasons to Re-open the Birmingham Pub Bombings Inquiry and requires 100,000 signatures by 1 December 2012 for the issue to be debated in Parliament.
The Court of Appeal ruled the convictions for the Birmingham Six were unsafe because they were based on unreliable forensic evidence and “confessions” obtained using violence.
No-one else has since been charged over the bombings.
West Midlands Police said in 2011 there were no formal plans to reopen the pub bombing investigations but “it would look at any fresh information that came to light”.
What’s the point?
We know who did it…
“We know who did it…” you do? Who? And the evidence that backs that up that hasn’t been rejected by a court? Sorry, I forget, evidence and trials and the like are just an unnecessary liberal irritation for those in your place in the criminal justice system.
Yawn… Jog on…
Birmingham Six? The ones (like the Guildford Four, Cardiff Three, Stefan Kiszko, Sean Hodgkins) who had “confessions” beaten out of them? Ah yes due process. A Liberal plot. You are not very good at this “law” thing are you? Jog on, EDL meeting starts soon, Ras Clart.
Sniff, sob you’re right sniff poor flowers … Sob…
EDL ? The nazis you mean?
Lol if they get in-it would be the last vote you ever got… So be careful what you wish for Chris…or Siren or whatever your fcuking name is…
60-million people and how many officers?
How many police-public-villain interactions in a year ?
And how many in your list?
Police officer assaulted every 20-minutes….
Still you are entitled to your opinion…
As a wise man once said: “I don’t agree with you-but will fight to the death to give you the right to say it”
Voltaire de Arouet. Zero officers, 144,000 plod. Villain? Would that be John Catt, 86 year old holding a placard? Jesus you ARE stupid.
Lol … Fair play…
One thing…
You missed the point by a couple of billion light years…
How far shall we go back?
I hear that Sheriff of Nottingham was a bastard too… Booooo….
Lol WHOOSH (that was the point going over your [empty] head)
WTF??!?
