Hillsborough: Searching For The Truth

[FoxForceFive]

All but says there will be a new inquest.

House will debate all issues discussed in October.

This is incredible. I knew they'd highlight some inconsistencies, but I never dreamed it would go this far.

Cameron:

"Families have suffered a double injustice"

"I am profoundly sorry"

This is incredible. I knew they'd highlight some inconsistencies, but I never dreamed it would go this far.

It's what most LFC fans and scousers have always known and believed yet the rest of the country chose to ignore. This is a ground breaking day. Fucking ground breaking.

You're not joking.

Thanks for the updates chaps.

Milliband:

The police "were aided and abetted by some parts of the media"

 

[Sunny]

Milliband:

"Victims were not just blamed for the disaster by those who were supposed to protect them they were blamed by those responsible"

Or something along those lines....

 

[Sunny]

"particularly The Lying Rag newspaper"

 

[SaintGeorge67]

This is difficult to watch :/

 

[Delinquent]

Great words from Ed Milliband.

Ed Miliband: it "shames us as a country" that it took 23 years to get to the truth

 

[juniormember]

Fuck me. A monumental day, as horrible as it feels.
Can't believe over half the lives might have been saved rigt after the disaster.
Fucking disgraceful fucks.

 

[Sunny]

I'm all over the place mate. I've got a conf call in 10 mins. Need to shape up.

 

[Rouge Penguin]

Can they be prosecuted? Would the families want that?

It shames a lot of people neal. Apart from those who knew the truth and never gave up wanting it to be heard.

 

[FoxForceFive]

It would be justice in my eyes.

I can't speak for them though, they may feel an apology specifically saying Liverpool fans not to blame may be justice.

Among the headlines from a quick reading reading of the report: The ambulance service failed to implement their major incident plan fully. South Yorkshire police sought to deflect responsibility onto fans. The source of negative stories about fans (including by The Lying Rag newspaper) was a local Sheffield news agency informed by senior police, and a local MP

 

[737Max]

Police did background checks on the dead. Fucking unbelievable! no doubt to see if their past could be attributed to the events at Hilsborough.

 

[Sunny]

It would be justice in my eyes.

Some will want accountability. Standing up in the first place and admitting responsibility would have been the right thing to do but that chance has way gone.

 

[Red Astaire]

Fuck me I'm stunned by that statement. I'm glad Miliband named and shamed that shit rag.

I feel a bit sick. I went over on an official club coach that had 55 people on that came back with 30. We drove round all the hospitals looking for our friends, accounted for most but there were stark gaps and when it got dark we had to head home. Eerie doesn't quite cut it.

Some time later the police came round to my house and took a statement. I was not in a good place, for one thing I didn't have a shit for 17 days once I'd got home and I had to go to hospital to have that sorted out, but they didn't sort my head for a long while after. My dad was there while I spoke to the cops as I was still a kid, and at the end they handed him then me the piece of paper that was supposed to contain what I'd said. It wasn't right, they hadn't added anything but they'd abridged important details. I didn't feel strong enough to say anything and my dad was in tears so I just signed it and off they went. Feel very shit right now to be honest.

*crying*

I'm in pieces.

23 years. Failure of government after government.

My thoughts are with the families and those who were affected by the events of that day.

Steve Rotheram has been immense during the trial.

So sorry, Woland.

It's tough watching isn't it. For me, yes it should never have happened but it did due to a catalogue of errors. The despicable cover up is now exposed. The fans can not be any more exonerated from blame than they have been today. The information that potentially 59, fity fucking nine, people may have had a chance to live is to most gutting thing I've heard on this. How, if you're a family member of someone who died, does that make you feel ?

Don't. Don't you feel that way at all. You and your dad were upset, vulnerable and taken advantage of by an organisation that not only systematically failed you on the day but sought to cover up that failure by deceitful manipulation of people like yourself and information. Fuck them Mark. They're the biggest cunts going and today has made that known, without doubt. You have nothing to feel shit for la.

 

[Fabio]

Too true Sean.

They abused the emotionally destroyed to try and cover up their mess.
