Third painting at SOAR

I painted this in the week of the publication of the Independent Report on the Hillsborough Disaster of 1989. The report was a huge indictment of my football club, Sheffield Wednesday, South Yorkshire Police and others who had lied to pass the blame on to Liverpool fans. Shame on all who were complicit in this travesty. I was angry, confused and had a headache all week. This was the only thing I could paint. I went on to paint green all the way around the word 'grieve' but I should have left it like this. You'll Never Walk Alone. Justice for the 96.
