just a little comment really .
we went to the hillsborough yday it was a beautiful day, and thought how amazing it was that all commumtiys came together.
wer wore our liverpool shirts and there were evertonians chelsea , manu fans there etc.
there was not a dry eye there. how amazing it is that they are not forgotten, around 30 000 were at anfield yesterday they were only expectng 10,000.bt also how sad its refreshed in our minds again and grown men were sobbing .

my dad ws at hillborough that day, i remember the panicking as we phoned the number in search for him.

do you still buy the sun, it is well and truelly banned from our house , with its lies and disgusting behaviour

People have every right to boycott newspapers (or other products) for whatever reason they see fit - as I say, I don't buy News International papers for a long list of reasons. But I can also see the point of view of people who would not boycott the Sun purely on the grounds of its Hillsborough reporting 20 years ago: it's not as though the Sun newspaper caused the tragedy and to people who have neither Liverpudlians nor football fans in the family it doesn't have much of an effect on their lives.

SGB, I think if that is true then it's a sad reflection on society. I'm sorry, I just can't accept that is true. Many people who are neither Liverpudlians nor footie fans are saddened and shocked by this utterly preventable tragedy.

The first fans who tried to climb over were beaten back down by police. People were crying for help and having the life literally squeezed out of them, yet they were ignored.
From any POV, how can that be acceptable?

RIP the 96 and may you soon have justice and your families have peace.

No I don't buy it, I'm a scouser.
In fact not only do I not buy it I have been known to refuse entry to my house to people carrying the vile rag

GivePeasAChance · 17/04/2009 22:58

SGB - you seem to be intent on posting on the Hillsborough threads about how you don't really care.

It shows a terrible lack of empathy.

solidgoldshaggingbunnies · 18/04/2009 00:33

GPAS: while it's understandable that people who were involved in any major disaster (ie were there or lost friends or family) will never be free of it, I just find it a bit strange that it's suddenly supposed to be a big deal to everyone else 20 years later.

bamboostalks · 18/04/2009 00:41

SGB Your comments are hurtful and unnecessary. Bully for you that you don't give a fuck that 96 people had their last breath suffocated out of them and that people like Tony Bland suffered for years. Some of us do care. 6 million people died in concentration camps, I didn't personally know any of them but it is still a big deal to me. Get some empathy please.

solidgoldshaggingbunnies · 18/04/2009 00:51

Bamboostalks: so do you fret about the people who died on the Marchioness, or at Kings Cross? The ones who died in the World Trade Centre attacks? The tsunami victims? The millions dying of famine and disease in parts of Africa? How do you find room in your life for that much sadness?

Plonker · 18/04/2009 01:19

We never buy the sun. Haven't done for the last 20 years. Unforgivable lies

I am a proud blue and I remember that terrible day as though it was yesterday.

UndertheBoredwalk · 18/04/2009 05:26

SGB, I've found myself agreeing with you everywhere I've found you expressing an opinion on MN in the past.
But this is personal, and this does affect me. As a scouser, still living in Liverpool, Hillsborough is A Big Deal for me.
Now I can understand nobody has room in them for every disaster, nobody can absorb that much pain, I get that.
But what is the point posting to say essentially 'I don't care' on these threads?
I can accept that you probably don't, I'm sure theres lots of people who dont. But really, to post on a thread where there are affected people saying 'well I do this for this reason, but as for hillsborough, doest affect me so I don't give a shit'
Do you really think that has a place here?
It just seems so callous. If it doesn't affect you why not just ignore the thread?

but it oes have an effect onour live. they have told the world that we killed our own basically they said that the lverpool fans were in a drunken fights with one another crushing there fellow fans to be crushed. they urinated all over dead bodies,picked there pockets and beat up police men who tried to ressusitate them
all lies
it was the police who ignord even laughed in the faces of the fans as they begged for help and for them tonope the gates sat drinking tea and smoking thy did not are
as a scouser and die hrd liverpool fan i think its disgusting that sum one ca write such lies. when the liverpol fans there that day not just scousers but people from all round country were the ones to do the job.
in my eyes and the whole of liverpool i call them heroes.

the officials who s job it is did not know what o do. its the lfc fans that saved the many lifes that were lucky o get out.
i know its not the sun s fault they never started the crush.
but those families of the dead and alive have had to see this. they were dead because they wer druken louts who started a fight. ?
if this happened to your comunity and you had people there who you loved or died like we did i sure you be the same.
the sun is scum

there is an article in the Guardian today about Hillsborough and The Sun - quite an interesting read. I see the delightful Wayne Rooney succumbed to the stench of a six figure sum to sell his soul to the enemy!
