But Bereaved Families for Justice said the organisation was ânot and never had been in litigation with the governmentâ and had merely written a pre-action letter for a judicial review to help establish victimsâ rights to have a statutory public inquiry, along the lines of that in the Hillsborough disaster. Pressed on the matter, Johnsonâs spokesperson said he was ânot aware he [the PM] had legal advice on thisâ, suggesting it was a political choice not to meet the group.
Fowler said: âIf the prime minister hasnât received legal advice that he canât meet with us why does he keep saying he canât? It constantly feels like the prime minister views us as nothing more than an annoyance, an inconvenience on his doorstep. It hurts that he wonât even offer us the respect of engaging with us to learn the lessons from our lost loved one.
