Northumbria PC jokes about Hillsborough dead
A COPPER was forced to apologise today after tweeting about the Liverpool car park fire in a seemingly snide reference to the Hillsborough disaster.
Following the New Year’s Eve blaze that destroyed 1,600 cars next to the Liverpool Echo Arena, Northumbria Police PC Curtis Ritchie posted: “Have they started blaming the police yet?”
The tweet led to a flood of complaints, with one telling the force it was a “disparaging remark about Scousers.”
