Boris: 'Glad the myth has been nailed about drunken Liverpool fans'

I'm glad that this independent report has finally nailed the myth that drunken fans were in any way responsible for the deaths of 96 people.

That was a lie that unfortunately and very, very regrettably got picked up in a leader in the Spectator in 2004, which I was then editing.

I went to Liverpool to apologise unreservedly for that mistake and I repeat that apology today.
