To be astounded at the brass neck of Kelvin McKenzie?

[Catkinsthecatinthehat]

And to wonder whether if I look up 'chutzpah' in the dictionary, there'd be a picture of his smug face as the definition?

I had to double check to see that it wasn't April 1st when I read this article.

Ex-Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie wants South Yorkshire Police to apologise for the "vilification" he received in the wake of the Hillsborough tragedy.

And he wants 'recompense' ie compensation as well

[gordyslovesheep]

YABU - how can you be astonished by anything that weasley, vile, scummy little tossrat does

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

He is a nasty shit.

[ratspeaker]

Catkins much the same reaction here

but I agree with gordy

[kittyandthegoldenfontanelles]

He's a cunt.

Next!

[LadyBeagleEyes]

He really couldn't stoop any lower, could he?
Vile little man.

[travellingwilbury]

I especially do not like this odious little prickly .

[EverybodysCryEyed]

He clearly lives in a parallel universe because he is clearly deluded

[UnChartered]

what a fucking cheek

odious guttersnipe

[showtunesgirl]

I saw a show at the Edinburgh Fringe called One Rogue Reporter where an ex-tabloid journalist who quit for moral reasons decided to get his own back on people like Kelvin McKenzie. It was absolutely brilliant and well worth watching if the show comes your way.

He manages to get a hold of some saucy text messages that Kelvin sent to a woman who is NOT his wife and he reads them back to him and slowly the penny drops.

Kelvin Mckenzie is a walking piece of smegma

[Catkinsthecatinthehat]

He said quite recently that he wasn't sorry then and he's not sorry now.

I actually don't think he wants an apology at all - he's doing to to take the piss out of the bereaved families.

[RedBlanket]

Nasty shitty man.
He's not sorry at all.

[Darkesteyeswithflecksofgold]

Nasty mysogynistic snobby vile gobshite.

[massistar]

YABU to be astounded. The man is a wanker.

[Natnat29]

He is a disgusted human being...just when think he cant sink any lower he does this

[SabrinaMulhollandJjones]

He's a weasly worm of a man. No integrity or compassion there at all.

[BellaOfTheBalls]

My jaw hit the floor when I heard that on the radio earlier. Just when you thought the man couldn't stoop any lower....

[SabrinaMulhollandJjones]

Actually my post maybe insulting to weasels and worms- I take that part back. It'll be interesting to see if anyone speaks up for the odious man.

[mcmooncup]

How depressing. Ever the optimist, I thought perhaps he might just miraculously use this opportunity to say what a terrible misjudgement he made, what horrendous journalism practices he was dictating and even, perhaps how maybe he is sorry for all the distress his paper caused the families of the dead.

But no. He blames everyone else. T.W.A.T

[EverybodysCryEyed]

what kind of journalist gets a briefing from the police and just takes it as gospel truth anyway?

I think SYP got their response spot on - he chose the headline. he chose to take one side of the story as truth. Not only was it disgusting, it was shoddy journalism

[EnjoyGOLDResponsibly]

This man is truly lower than a snakes bollocks.

Kelvin, if you're reading this, you're a cunt.

[Darkesteyeswithflecksofgold]

Even if he wasnt involved in the cover up (which i have my suspicions about) he believed what he was told by SYP very readily.
And the reason he beleived it beyond all doubt??? Because of his snobbery his arrogance and his prejudices towards the working classes and football fans. CUNT.

[TheCrackFox]

He is a utter cunt.

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

The man is scum

[Nancy66]

I like Kelvin but this is a very misguided move.
