prison sentences is going too far in my opinion. the truth is out now, and they'll have to live with that for the rest of their lives.

Although there is no doubt in my mind the Kelvin Mackenzie is complete scúm, I'm not sure if he is entirely to blame for the lies? I mean the media only worked with what was told to them by the police. It was hardly the other way around.

Everybody is banging on about Kelvin Mackenzie when they have forgotten the real criminals are the Yorkshire police.

Oh and Maggie Thatcher.

Really? I think hanging is too good for them. Do you think they have a conscious? They have managed to live with it for 23 years until the truth was forced out by the tireless efforts of the Liverpool fans and relatives of the dead.

Agree

God it is actually sickening that it has taken 23 years. It really fúcking angers me.

Kelvin Mackenzie has refused to apologise for all these years, he is to blame for compounding the lies. Nobody can hide behind " I was only doing my job" wasn't that the war criminals defence? There are alot of people to blame

Twenty Three Years. Just take a moment to visualise how long that actually is. Can't believe it's taken this long.

I hope this isn't all about suing people.

What happened today shouldn't be about suing but about peace and finally a method to move on for all concerned.

If this is now just an excuse to sue people and make money then I wash my hands of it.

However I suspect that isn't the motivation of any of the families involved.

As I said it is not about money but suing that disgusting guy will bring him to his knees and hopefully teach him to stop spouting his poison. All the money won could be given to charity.

Mckenzie is full of his own importance,any apology from him is an empty gesture, he's made his true feelings know on numerous occasions, he's a vile creature who peddles poison for financial gain. All this "i was misled" nonsense is not going to fool anyone.

Why is he apologising? for 23 years he's stood by his original views, and reiterated them during this time, who's he kidding.

Yep in 2006 he said he had no intention of apologising and stood by every word. Only apologising now because he has no choice. He is truly vile.

prison sentences is going too far in my opinion.
======================================
Why ?
Perverting the course of justice, whilst being employed to uphold law and order in this country, should undoubtedly carry a prison sentence.
If you or I did likewise, in regard to a case involving the loss of a single life, let alone 96 lives, we would be given a custodial sentence for such actions.
I couldn't give a flying toss if these officers are dead, retired, ill, or whatever. If they are found to be guilty, then they should be exposed to the full course of the law, and in the case of officers who may be dead now, they should be posthumously named and shamed for their actions.

You people are acting like this is the only time that this kind of police cover up has taken place. Look at the Birmingham Six, who were released from prison at around that time because the police set them up or the Guildford Four. Liverpool fans are not the first group that have been mistreated by the police and the establishment and some groups have been treated far worse.

Or look to the News of the World scandal, you have the very top people at the Met drinking champagne with journalists, making extra cash for themselves whilst selling stories. Or what about the Lawrence enquiry. The police have always been like this. Don't pretend that they were only like this in this case.

I'm finding it worrying about some of the remarks about Margaret Thatcher as well. As has been shown on this site many times, the majority of the users were probably not even born when she was in power, but here you are jumping on the band wagon. The country was on its knees when the Conservatives took over, much worse than now, despite what the media would have us believe. Tough decisions needed to be made.

This is getting off topic but my god how can you say Miss Thatcher ever did an once of good for this country. She sold off everything we own to the private sector and told Ragen to do the same thing. Why do you think China make everything now. Its cause she decided it would be a better idea to make short term profits and fudge to the long term stability of the country she was serving. Not ruling but serving! The only reason she every completed her first term was because of a war with Argentina. I hope she lives in her demented state forever so she can see what she has done to the world.

Not that I really care clearly :o)

"Why do you think China make everything now."

Because the unions wouldn't budge on anything and so they got what they deserved; their jobs taken off them and handed over to people who won't go on strike. In the 70s there were strikes which left unburied corpses because the unions wouldn't let workers bury them, 3 day weeks due to the unions.

Luckily times have changed. You adapt or die.

Not an unvalid point but fact is it was her who started the whole business of outsourcing manufactering and what made it worse was getting the yanks onside to do the same is one reason (though I know by no means the only one) why we are so screwed now!

and more to the point. Arsenal Fudge yeah!
