We've had verdicts. We've got 96 unlawfully killed. And we all

where we got the truth which is what your most pleased with.

newspaper journalists from 'all areas of its operation'

:01:03.:01:04.

following an article about footballer Ross Barkley -

:01:05.:01:06.

The piece compared the midfielder to a "gorilla" and said men

:01:07.:01:09.

in Liverpool on HIS pay level were "drug dealers".

:01:10.:01:12.

Fans made their feelings towards the Sun clear outside

midfielder Ross Barkley - whose grandfather was born

:01:46.:01:48.

pay packets in Liverpool were "drug dealers".

The Mayor of Liverpool had already reported the article to the police,

delighted. It's correct decision. You can't write that kind of stuff

:02:37.:02:38.

Kelvin MacKenzie added that it was "beyond parody"
