Hillsbrough

I bet he still gets his full pension and retirement plan, strip him of the lot he gives those good police men/women a bad name GIT.

The lie came so quickly after the incident that I think the lie came from him in the first instance. That it was then backed up and became the official story & statements changed to suit that story does, in my opinion go much further up the chain of command

Having been to Hillsborough before the disaster in that end as part of a large following the sad thing is that even though it’s now known the ground didn’t have a safety certificate & that they’d over-calculated the capacity of the pens, the whole disaster could have been avoided by something as simple as 2 lines of coppers at either side of the entrances to the turnstile area thus controlling the flow of people to those turnstiles.
Even after that error thought there were opportunities to avoid the loss of life but the guy in charge clearly hadn’t prepared enough, missed every single one of them & then sort to deflect the blame away from his own failures and that was backed up at the highest levels

If this had been a security or eventing company that had made these decisions on that awful day then corporate manslaughter charges would have been made. Obviously the fact that it was the British Police that marshalled the game then the outcome will be totally separate and different. The fact that they then had the nerve to lay the blame with the Liverpool fans is incredible and despicable but at the end of the day will the victims families get true justice?. Who will carry the can for this catastrophe?. Someone needs to be brought to book.
