This lad's face is cropping up with increasing regularity and apart from being an annoying talking head and wannabee politician, has been reasonably easy to ignore. However, it seems he is linking himself to Hillsborough now (though the story keeps changing appaz), and he's clearly raising his profile ahead of the Stoke by-election.
I was working at the Daily Post and Echo up to when I went to Japan in 1995, so right through the events of that day and years following. I knew people who were involved as well as friends and family one-step removed, and the topic came up a lot when we met, especially as the fight for justice intensified. But in all this time, I never heard his name mentioned until now, and I don't recall him getting involved in the fight as a local politician either.
I was overseas for quite a while so I may have missed stuff. What's his story? Is he genuine or just bandwagoning?
