Today is the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. 96 football fans lost their life on this day in 1989 during an FA Cup semi final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
If that wasn't bad enough the 25 years of cover ups, criminal negligence, corruption and bureaucratic/systematic lies, deceit and avoidance of the truth adds to the utter disgrace upon this country's past.
At 3.06pm today I stopped and thought about all those who lost their life and the families who have fought so long for justice and the truth. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and anger they must have endured at the systematic lies and corruption they have faced on every level of the British establishment over the past decade and a half. Finally there appears to be light for them, it's just a shame it's 25 years too late.
Most of the victims were young. I was 16 at the time, playing cricket and we all came off the pitch and watched the horror unfold on TV. It was grim viewing. Some victims were younger than me. Their life barely starting. What must it have been like for the families to have to fight to even get the basic information about their sons/daughters/loved ones death. What anger they must have felt. What hatred towards the law, the government, the justice system. How did they survive?
It's incredible that a cover up and illegal activity on such a grand scale with such a monumental fuck up on so many levels happened for so long. I shake my head every-time. The system should be ashamed. Then it should be held accountable.
A big fucking disgrace. RIP the 96 today.
In other news DLT is recharged with indecent assault from 1995 - He's back in the Nonce Game once again.
Oscar lied his way through his 5th day of questioning from the prosecution. Nauseating self pity.
I received a lesson in how my stupid ego can run away with itself and cause me problems. Do I ever learn?
That is all today. If you don't know much about Hillsborough you should. It's the biggest systematic disgrace this country has seen in a good long while.
