Margaret Aspinall: Boris apology 'doesn't mean a thing to me'
Margaret Aspinall, chairwoman of the Hillsborough Families Support Group, who lost her son James, 18, in the tragedy, said Mayor of London Boris Johnson's apology "doesn't mean a thing to me".
She said: "What he has got to understand is that we were speaking the truth for 23 years and apologies have only started to come today from them because of yesterday.
"It's too little, too late. It's fine to apologise afterwards. They just don't want their names in any more sleaze. No, his apology doesn't mean a thing to me."
