I'd never seen this, a fascinating watch.
Good, although it appeared just as calculating as all of their apologies. Scumbags.Originally Posted by Davgooner
The Sun has apologised for the third time.
Families are suing South Yorkshire and West Midlands Police for an estimated £20m.
I'm gobsmacked.
I'm sure they will also be suing Our NHS for the mistakes made by the ambulance service mentioned in the verdicts.
Also, this is the first thing I found when googling that.

I would like to pay tribute to the extraordinary courage of #Hillsborough campaigners in their long search for the truth.

@David_Cameron fuck off tory scum
Speaking as a Social Media Strategist #CameronHypocrisyIsBreathtaking isn't a great hashtag.
I hadn't been following this at all (but it's ruining my podcasts poday), but are they trying to say it was completely the police now? Jesus Christ.
If you look at the timeline and history of the ground it's hard to argue otherwise.
You should probably read about it before launching into ill-advised posts such as this.
I'm trying my best to avoid the moaning for the last 20 whatever years, I'm certainly not going to go reading about it. All I know is that if someone opens a door for me, whether they were right to or not, I know if there's someone inside it then don't stand on them.
Idiot.
Channeling his rage at Spurs' title failure at a legitimate disaster. Who'd have thought it?
Even for Giggles that's impressive levels of idiocy.
Keep up.
Giggles, it was the polices job to manage the crowd. They not only failed to do so but directed them into a cramped full space.
And it was a crush, not a stampede.
Jimmy McGovern's drama on this has just started on ITV. It's well worth a watch if you've not seen it before.
Actually couldn't watch it. Fuck.
Jimmy McGovern doing Hillsborough? I'll just slit my wrists now and save myself 90 minutes.
Does this verdict finally mean they'll shut the fuck up now? Well, once this initial bout of it is done with.
Probably, I don't think the legal system allows you to go for double or quits.
Let's be fair here, the court case this week does 'prove' that there was a massive cover up. I think it demonstrates that they were right to continue the campaign over the numbers of years that they did.
Now it's time for accountability. A pseudonym for compo.
They'd probably be happier with some of the bastards responsible in prison. But who can begrudge them a bit of cash if that's what it comes to? Loads of people were effectively murdered by the apparatus of the state, institutions of which were then complicit in a decades long cover up.
People in public service absolutely should be held accountable when they fuck up. We're paying them, for fuck's sake.
Murdered.
Christ, I'm out of this one anyway. Back to the snooker.
That people still believe this was anything to do with Liverpool fans is remarkable. The only argument they ever had was that ticketless fans turned up and the ground ended up too full. An argument which is completely undermined by the adjacent pens being near enough empty. Ticketless fans turned up to every match back then. The police would know that and it was their job to deal with that. They didn't. They treated football fans like fucking animals. Whether there were ticketless fans in there or not, they absolutely were not the cause of the disaster.
Some people let tribalism inform their views on this.
"Liverpool loves victimhood."
"Well, look at Heysel."
Fuck right off. It was a cup match. That could have been any club at that cup semi and it seems likely that the same result would have borne out. If it hadn't happened that day it probably would have happened five or ten years later. People on here who go to football matches for fun could have found themselves in a similar situation. The worst thing is the cover up. A cover up which the public services, and without fucking doubt the government of the day, were either participant in or aware of. You can understand a bloke out of his depth making a fuck up catastrophic enough that people wind up dead. But the lie? Doctor statements and smear people who have just stood immobile, wedged into a pen by the bodies of the dead? Fuck me.
Add to that the history of the stadium (a litany of crushes and problems during matches none of which involved Liverpool) and to still try and infer it was the fault of supporters is quite something.
