Football

Dicki, I went to many dangerous grounds in those days when we were penned into tiny spaces and abused by the police. Yes, anyone of those places could have turned into a Hillsborough and I could have been crushed to death. If I had, I would not want people having minute's silence 23 years later and wearing black armbands. Instead I would be happy to see that steps have been taken to ensure that nothing like it happens again. Football should be a celebration not a mawkish necromance.

People had died on many tragedies. Do we stop in silence on motorways, hotels or eaters because people have died there? Do the trains halt at Moorgate or Kings Cross to recall those who died? Why football and why this one out of many disasters?

I agree with the sentiment about it being time to move on. However, if it were you that was accused of urinating on and stealing from the pockets of your children that lay stone cold dead on that football pitch you might see it differently. Sadly we'll never know if it is a sense of guilt that has allowed this to go on so long.
This may well have been consigned to history had the Establishment not behaved the way they did.
