she is the senior coronerfor birmingham. she is the senior coroner for birmingham and birmingham. she is the senior coronerfor birmingham and solihull and they tell her she does not have the authority to resume this inquest? let mejust, for the authority to resume this inquest? let me just, for all of our viewers and listeners around the world, let me remind everybody of the nature of this bomb attack because there we were in november 1974, two bombs went off within minutes of each other into crowded city centre pubs. 21 people were killed and your sister maxime who was 18 at the time was one of them. in very short order the police launched a massive investigation. six men were arrested and put on trial and convicted of the birmingham bombs but of course we 110w birmingham bombs but of course we now know that the police investigation was entirely fraud, those men were not guilty and by 1991, finally through appeals, they we re 1991, finally through appeals, they were released. they were not the guilty man. but this therefore has become and always has been a most contentious of cas

in november 1974, the ira bombed two pubs in birmingham and murdered 21 people. more than 44 years later the inquest into those deaths was reopened, attended by the families of the victims, including my guest today julie hambleton, who lost her sister maxine. during the hearings one witness, a convicted former ira man, named four alleged perpetrators, butjustice in this terrible case has never been done. is it now too late to get to the truth? julie hambleton, welcome to hardtalk. thank you for inviting me. julie hambleton, welcome to hardtalk. thank you for inviting me. you have just been through an extraordinary experience. you sat through weeks of a formal inquest, hearing the most harrowing evidence about the death of your sister maxine, and the twist to this is that she was actually murdered by an ira bomb more than 44 years ago. so what emotions, all this time later, did that inquest stir up in you? it was notjust for me, it was for all the families who were present throughout the inquest. and...it was the most harrowing time to experience, or for any famil

it is a time for birmingham to be proud of a —— our diversity and put birmingham back on the map is an area of super diversity to be proud of. that is what no outsiders is all about. are you encouraging children to be gay? no, no. i am encouraging children to be themselves and proud of who they are, whether that is about having different skin, different religion, disability, autism, or have different families. i want children to be confident as they grow up into global citizens so they can live and work alongside anyone and live and work alongside anyone and live and work anywhere. amir, does that sound wrong to you? i think andrew is quite honestly disingenuous. he has focused on the lgbt content, if you read his book no outsiders in schools, he has clearly focused on the lgbt schools, he has clearly focused on the lg bt parts schools, he has clearly focused on the lgbt parts of the equality act. and he, it is not about teaching equality. if you are discriminating against one characteristic and teaching another, that is not equality. sorry, what are you saying, who is being discrimina
