Paul Nuttall, the Ukip leader, has denied that he has lied about being a Hillsborough survivor after a number of people questioned his claim to have been present on the day of the disaster.
He claims to have been present, along with his father and two uncles, when 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death, and has said only “scum of the earth” would suggest this was not true.
After he added in a newspaper interview last weekend that he did not like to talk about the disaster, the Hillsborough Families Support Group questioned why he had never offered any support, while others who knew him at the time say they have no recollection of him saying he was present during the disaster.

I’ve lived in Stafford for the last 36 years been to the potteries many times but couldn’t answer that question either I wonder if Cambridge educated Tristram Hunt could have done when he was parachuted in to Stoke not that it matters as the constituency doesn’t cover them all anyway.
He is not fit to be a politician never mind a leader
Nuttall is a thoroughly dishonest and corrupt individual. Unfit for any type of office. “Not liking to talk about it” is, in fact, a typical evasive excuse from someone who is lying about a particular event.
