The Hillsborough Files - Predictions


Smiffs

Recommended Posts

 

1. A significant amount of Scousers were disorderly beforehand

2. The police were disorganised during

3. The emergency services as a whole responded badly

4. There was no real cover up and Taylor's report was by and large correct.

 

Scousers will deny item 1 and feed on items 2 and 3

When the talk turns to compensation, that's when i'll lose any shred of sympathy for them

 

This (IMO) is the over-riding factor in all of this. Scousers wanting compo.

 

96 people died due to a series of bad decisions made by their own fans, the FA, Sheffield Wednesday FC, the police and the ambulance service. (in no particular order of accountability)

Group number 1 of that list want to blame the other 4 groups, but the other 4 mistakes would have gone unpunished , but for the actions of group 1.

see, shit like this just does the whole ordeal no favours whatsoever

 

id like to believe the families want something other than pound notes.

 

TBH I think most do. But you can bet theres some looking for a quick buck. Way of the world.

This just shows the attitude the Thatcher government and the police had at the time towards football fans across the country. Absolutely scandalous that it has taken so long for this to come out. I have the greatest respect for the families that kept fighting for the truth, when they knew full well that there had been a cover up. Agreed that the mention of compo will detract from the findings but I'm sure the families haven't fought for so long for the compo.

Where have all the other threads gone?

 

Anyway, does yesterday mean we can go back to any event in the last fifty years and apply modern safety standards before bringing legal action?

 

It would seem so, but you can't actually point the finger at anyone not in a position of authority.
