Hillsborough: Searching For The Truth

[Sunny]

As an 18 year old, I probably came pretty close to losing my life in the crush within 15 feet of those terrible blue fences. My friend, David, who drove us to Sheffield that day didn't make it. He was just 19.

This morning's reports merely confirm what we knew all along however the findings that 41 Liverpool fans should have been saved is rather hard to read. Perhaps David was one of them.

Whether in this life or beyond, Duckenfield and company will have to pay for what they did.

I'm glad there's many of you who did survive Peter. Hopefully your mate can rest with some peace at last today.

kelvin mackenzie apologises, in my opinion its far too little and far too late

Kelvin MacKenzine offers his "profuse apologies to the people of Liverpool", says Radio 5

Fuck off, cunt

 

[gkmacca]

Is he apologising for not apologising? It barely makes any sense.

 

[nealmac]

Go fuck yourself, McKenzie.

He can fucking ram it the twat.

Who gives a fuck what Kelvin McKenzie thinks? I don't want his apology, I just don't want to see the fat smug cunt on my TV again.

Normally I'd say that, if a person apologises, that should be received with some generosity of spirit. In this case, though, I agree with you. MacKenzie didn't mean it before (said as much himself) and can't be trusted to mean it now. He's only doing it because assorted politicians have seen which way this is heading and have jumped on the bandwagon. Basically he's just trying to cover his humungous @rse.

He's probably worried about his career, nothing else.

And the fact he's got nowhere else to turn. He's out of excuses. It's completely disingenuous and not even welcomed. I laughed when the families asked if there were any Sun reporters in the room and if there was could they please leave

 

[nealmac]

If he didn't mean it the last time (he admitted it himself, how can anyone believe him this time? He can take his apology and shove it up his arse.

Thanks, old lad.

He's on Sky several times a week, so I hope they're pressured to drop him as well as the BBC. He shouldn't be on anywhere. He shouldn't be anywhere.

 

[Judge Jules]

Lock him in a room with Steve Cohen and a couple of hungry pitbulls.

No, on second thoughts, don't want anyone to get done for cruelty to animals.

 

[Sunny]

Thanks, old lad.

Oy! I'm the same age as you ... 😉

There's nothing worse than a forced apology. I get the sentiment though that we should be gracious and respectful, or rather, continue to be the better people, but still. He's had long enough and continued to deny any wrong doing. As said, there's no real remorse.

 

[gkmacca]

I hope Kenny and Marina are coping with all of this. It must be incredibly emotional for them.

 

[Woland]

Our media being what it is, it was in his interests to be controversial. Now he's in the shit. It will be fun to watch him try to swim in it.

I'll never be gracious or respectful to that cunt. As Woland says, let him drown - he'll find few throwing the lifebelt in

So, BBC, no more booking Kelvin MacKenzie and pretending he's a regular punter, eh? Book him to interrogate him.

 

[Avmenon]

I honestly don't know how the campaigners have had the strength for the fight. For 99% of the time they've been talking to a brick wall, and when they have had reaction it's invariably been negative. If I contemplate the subject for more than half an hour I can't do much else for the rest of the day. This has been their lives... for all of their lives. They've gradually torn down that huge wall, slowly picking at it until it crumbled. At times I've wondered why they bothered, knowing they were right but seeing their campaign as pissing in the wind. How wrong I was and how inspiring they are.

I don't think truer words were ever spoken; most of us would have felt strongly about Hillsborough, especially those of us thrust into that painful sorrow personally. But anyone, anyone supporting this club is marked by this.

I wager very few thought that it would come to this; and many would have felt so what?

Even if the truth finally came out, the mere act of saying what was done was 'wrong' and that the people involved were 'sorry' wouldnt really mean much and doesnt change anything.

Maybe it doesnt really change anything.

But it does mean a lot.

This report in the Express from the time proves how complicit Irvine Patrick, local conservative MP, was in the spreading of the lies about Hillsborough.
He was also the one that escorted Maggie around the ground the day after the disaster

Richard Bacon is doing well here grilling the South Yorkshire police chief. Maybe he's got John Humphreys in his headphones.
