Re: Liverpool FC ban for Sun journalists over Hillsborough

Jesus it's back. Two front-page articles on BBC about hillsborough.

One about some 30-year old journalist about how he "inherited" Hillsborough because he is from Liverpool.

Another about scousers frothing at the mouth because of Kelvin MacKenzie's article about how stupid Ross Barkley is. Not only is it racist because it compared him to a gorilla and he has a Nigerian ancestor, but the mayor of Liverpool has declared it a racial slur against Liverpudlians and reported it to the police, giving a statement to them. Of course the article is littered with references to hillsborough.

This pity-fest is long beyond a joke. What happened was absolutely horrific but the current day hysteria does more to belittle that than anything else.

Kelvin Mckenzie is a *word censored* and led thatchers campaign to demonise the scousers . The Sun disgusts me as much as she did.

I have heard that the Liverpool Echo is not sold in Turin.
Is this because of Heysel?

The bin dippers professional victim status is ridiculous.
The Bradford fire victims families,and those of the Ibrox disaster and Heysel conduct themselves with far more dignity,despite their losses being no less important.

Absolutely - somebody in England should have the balls to tell the city of Liverpool to get over themselves and fcuk off, or else declare them a country of their own and let them feed their own thieving job dodging w**kers :roll: :evil: :censored:

The Sun is a despicable rag. It should be boycotted in every city, and by every club.

I can imagine Barkley getting booed by his own now as Everton are probably the most racist fans in the country.

“That is no excuse for Liverpool’s failure to acknowledge, even to this day, the part played in the disaster by drunken fans at the back of the crowd who mindlessly tried to fight their way into the ground that Saturday afternoon.”

It continued: “The police became a convenient scapegoat, and The Sun newspaper a whipping-boy for daring, albeit in a tasteless fashion, to hint at the wider causes of the incident.”

“They see themselves whenever possible as victims, and resent their victim status; yet at the same time they wallow in it.”


Boris Johnson's comments above...then sent on a journey to Liverpool by Cameron to go apologise to the people of Liverpool. I would have told Cameron where to get off.

And to add insult...the apology was rejected...how's that for classy.

The Sun & the fúcking Tory vermin are scum & always has been. :banghead:

The South Yorks police are responsible for Hillsborough, the same cúnts also done Thatchers evil work against the miners fighting for their jobs & communities. Nowadays the country imports coal from overseas / gives other countries contracts for nuclear power stations because the Tories like a Boris bung. :cussing: So much for patriotic Tories! :banghead:

Scousers are in the right about Hillsborough & the way their city was treated for fighting the Tory vermin, but they are in the wrong about Heysel, their fans caused the violence not Cockneys, Chavs / Millwall fans like their club claimed at the time!

Plus some of their wrong 'un fans are still trying to jib into stadiums in massive numbers, European finals & even the game at Arsenal a few seasons back. :evil:

You really think that the scousers are completely innocent over the events at Hillsborough ?? :shock: :shock: Was the tv footage of them outside the turnstyles doctored then ? Those c.unts turned up late and tried to force their way through the other scouse fans in the queue, and created the crush outside the turnstyles which led to the cops stupidly opening the gates :roll: There is no doubt that the behavior of the cops and the sun was despicable, but to give the scouse fans as a whole a free pass, is every bit as offensive imo, and the fact that the families have never questioned their behavior, sells out the memories of the dead imo

What is also outrageous is the fact that just a few weeks later, tv footage shows victims fans helping other victims fans into wembley without tickets - their fellow fans were killed in the semi by a crush, and yet they think that it is acceptable to bring more fans into the stadium that was deemed safe ? :shock: Who would have been at fault if more victims fans were killed that day by being crushed due to overcrowding ? Lets also not forget that the people who have campaigned under the guise of victims for almost 30 years, were the same people who charged the turnstyles at their champs league final in Athens, and in doing so again risked a crush due to overcrowding :roll:

I get that people are sometimes anti-establishment cos so am I at times, but the scousers are FAR from innocent in Hillsborough and to my mind there is enough blame to go around
