Former Sun editor gets Christmas Day show

Last updated : 07 December 2006 By Adam Bryant
The former Sun editor pulled out of a recent Question Time for fear of having to answer to angry Liverpudlians for his 'The Truth' article following the Hillsborough tragedy.

He was recently quoted as saying: "All I did wrong there was tell the truth. There was a surge of Liverpool fans who had been drinking and that is what caused the disaster. The only thing different we did was put it under the headline 'The Truth'.

"I went on the World at One the next day and apologised. I only did that because Rupert Murdoch told me to. I wasn't sorry then and I'm not sorry now because we told the truth."

We urge everyone to click here and make a compaint to the BBC about their decision to give MacKenzie this show.
