Probe 'sinister' Hillsborough Wikipedia edit, MP urges
A Whitehall computer was used to add the words 'blame Liverpool fans' to the stadium disaster's website page

Liverpool MP Steve Rotherham demanded yesterday that the government launch a real investigation into “sinister” changes made to the Hillsborough Wikipedia page from Whitehall computers. 

The Liverpool Echo has revealed that in 2009 the words “blame Liverpool fans” were added from government offices to the website’s entry on the tragedy in which 96 fans died. 

It alleged government computers were also used to change the words of Liverpool anthem from “you’ll never walk alone” to “you’ll never wank alone” by sick staff in 2012.
