Good old bumbling Boris, eh? 'ee's a right laugh.

I'm surprised that anyone can think that the best efforts of Sth Yorks Police and Ambulance and the Thatcher Government were anything but class and politically inspired and indeed Jack Straw has said as much today and been shot down by Norman Tebbitt (like you'd trust his take on things), I can only think that those who suggest otherwise were probably too young to appreciate the vicious class war that was conducted throughout the 1980s, the battering of the unions, the crushing of the likes of Derek Hatton and Ken Livingstone - some of this may have been deserved depending on your point of view but when those in authority falsify documents and facts and then go further to incriminate those whom they regarded (at the time) as being from an area of direct opposition to them politically, then you are treading into very dangerous ground, the sort of distorting of the truth that we are more used to seeing in South American dictatorships, its hardly surprising that even senior Tories finally turned against Thatcher before we started to see opposition politicians "disappear" as in Chile and Argentina.

I have no idea why any football fan would ever vote Conservative. We are not proper citizens. We weren't then and we aren't now.







The fact I have no idea why anyone would ever vote Conservative is a side issue...

Every football thug involved in trouble at that time can take their share of the blame for my money! The outrageous behaviour of hundreds of numpties on a weekly basis lead to football grounds looking like zoos. The hideous fences then served to stop people escaping onto the pitch. Well done fellas!

I could be wrong but I don't think Boris Johnson actually wrote that article, he was the Editor of the magazine?



If so your image is quite misleading.



He has also apologised - twice, what more do people want from him.

Possibly not to OK such things in the first place. It's dripping with hatred for the oiks. Even if he didn't write it (I don't know, I'll admit) then as editor he nodded it through. It's the worst kind of bar room bo**ocks dressed up in flowery writing.

Nothing!



And if I was a Liverpudlian or a friend or family of one of the deceased, absolutely nothing!

McKenzie did the same, with his own (sick) embellishment

Yes it was an ill judges article, and I don't agree with the content but many people did at that time.



As I say, he's apologised - twice surely that should be it. Surely the last thing thats needed is hyperbole and the condemnation of anyone that has ever said or written anything about Liverpool supporters.

You best re-read that article if you think it was only relating to football supporters.

I was talking in general, still my point stands, what do you want from him? it was written (not by him) 8 years ago.

Nothing!



I fully understand the mentality of his thought process.



I know where he came from.
