I’m not sure what an enquiry would be expected to do. If you read Chris Mullin’s book, you’ll know the names of the bombers - and only one is still alive. I was in the Tavern the Saturday before the bomb and I know people who survived the bomb. All they want is for the whole episode to vanish from the front pages.

Sorry if I sound like a dick here, but it’s not those who survived who are suffering, well maybe they are, but I reckon not as much as the families of those that died. They’re the ones pushing for an enquiry and I can’t say they’re wrong for doing so.
Good luck to the poor people

No Rab, you don’t sound like a dick. Believe me, those who survived are suffering. Many are suffering with the guilt that they survived, some have serious PTSD. I know of some who had to emigrate to get ‘away’ from the memories of simply walking down New Street. There is no right or wrong answer.
