In the first extract from her heart-breaking new book, Jenni Hicks recounted in yesterday's Daily Mail how her two teenage daughters were crushed to death at Hillsborough.
Here, in the second instalment of our three-part serialisation, she describes the aftermath and her anger at officialdom's callous behaviour.
'And that is already seeing money roll out into people's pockets, particularly for young people and for young women. If you're a woman who's 25 and under you've seen more than $2,000 of tax relief on average.'
He stated: 'Affluent people can give their kids everything they want, but they're not usually going to get what they need. Loving a child is a lot harder if you really give a d***. "No" takes a lot more energy. It's a lot easier to say "yes."'
He showed us to the players' lounge, where we found members of the clergy, players and their wives.
We met Marina Dalglish, wife of the Liverpool manager Kenny, and she sat with us. It was still only four days after the girls had died.
The 37-year-old also revealed how she has personally seen the disastrous effects such procedures can have when they go wrong, including the case of one 15-year-old girl who had fillers and ‘her lips blew up'.
At our local chapel of rest, the undertaker's wife dressed Sarah and Vicki in their favourite clothes. I couldn't wait to welcome them home from their terrible ordeal and to have them back with me, in their own surroundings again.
He said the government focused in 2020 and 2021 on lowering electricity prices by eight per cent, investing $10 billion a year in childcare, and providing $30 billion of tax relief for low and middle income earners.

'Believe me, I would be the first to sign up. I'm already on Wisteria Lane. I'd be like, sign me up. But Marc Cherry, our creator, he feels like he has fully explored those characters. He was like why now? Why now? What would they be up to?
He had been so affected that he had even spoken about giving up his playing career.
I stressed to him that neither Sarah nor Vicki would want him to do that. I told John that if they knew he was thinking like that, it would make them very sad.
The little Baptist church where they had both been regulars was packed, including 50 students who'd come down on a coach from Liverpool University that morning.
There were so many people that they had to stand in side rooms where the girls used to go to Sunday school, and even outside.
The Conservative MP for Sevenoaks - who has been working with Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries on the dangers of social media in the Online Safety Bill - has already successfully introduced a private member's Bill to ban cosmetic Botox and fillers for under-18s.
‘The person doing it does not need to be qualified or licensed in any way.
They don't need to be insured. The complications of it can be absolutely awful - blindness, necrosis or rotting tissue, the fillers moving around the face.
I hated the girls being in Sheffield on their own, in a cold, clinical environment where they knew no one. I began to go and sit in their wardrobes where, pulling the sliding doors to, I would cuddle and smell their clothes.
It was the closest I could get to giving them a hug.
We didn't know anyone in the city, and I didn't expect there to be many people there, apart from close friends and family. But as we approached the cemetery we saw to our astonishment that crowds and crowds of people had turned out to line the streets, bowing their heads in respect as we passed by.
It was surreal'
Although it must have been very difficult for him, he attended the funerals of many of the victims. It was during one of our trips to the cemetery that we saw a woman standing by our daughters' graves looking at the flowers and tributes.
'Who are these people?' I asked Trevor. But he had no more idea than I had. Later, we were told people had come from all over the city and beyond, Liverpool fans and others who had read about us burying our girls and had come out to support us.
She told us her name was Doreen Jones and that she had lost her son Richard, along with his lovely girlfriend Tracey Cox.
Both were in their early 20s and had science degrees from Sheffield University.
I've always had this feeling - even now - that I should have insisted a doctor was brought to see Sarah.
She should not have been as warm as she was, especially as it was now after nine o'clock at night - more than six hours after the horrific events at the game had unfolded.
We talked about the lies that were circulating in some sections of the media, suggesting that drunken, loutish Liverpool fans without tickets had turned up late to the Hillsborough game and pushed their way in, contributing to the fatal crush - lies that had blackened the names of our children and the other victims who died or were injured that day.
