SORRY seems to be the hardest word as well as it being the title of a song by Elton John, it could also describe the reluctance of Prime Minister Boris Johnson to formally apologise to the families of the 1971 Ballymurphy massacre.
Criticism was directed at Johnson following the ruling on May 11, when Mrs Justice Keegan concluded that the victims of the shootings were “entirely innocent” and the British army was responsible.
Keegan went on to criticise the lack of investigation into the tenth victim John Kerr and said she could not rule who had killed him.
Yet despite this ruling laying the blame on the British army, it took until May 19 before Johnson finally did the decent thing and formally apologised to the families.

Crikeydiscussed Tony Abbott’s complete lack of interest in facts and predicted he would be our first postmodern prime minister. But Abbott’s disregard for facts was in the service of a political agenda of constant, remorseless attack and negativity in relation to his opponents.
Scott Morrison lies occasionally about his opponents, yes, but most of his lies are about himself, or his government, and what it has done, or failed to do; often he has lied about things he himself has said or done, as if he wasn’t present when a woman refused to shake his hand and he turned his back on her, or he didn’t carefully explain to Parliament that the secretary of prime minister and cabinet had given him no update about his report in relation to Brittany Higgins.
This makes Clock Face the oldest amateur Rugby League club in the town. It was formed by the local Clock Face Colliery and in particular the Colliery’s owner The Earl of Crawford. The Earl was a social visionary and in 1914 had built the Clock Face Miners Recreation Club and grounds to house various sports as a recreational past time for his employees, one of these being Rugby League. Nearly 100 years on although the Colliery is long gone, Clock Face Miners ARLFC is still based at the Club and playing on the grounds donated by the late Earl. The club entered the St.Helens and Widnes District League in 1921 and were runners-up in its inaugural season.
