Well worth a watch,

Cheers bosco, hopefully there is a documentry when we win

Can everyone please email this letter off to news@sky.com to stop McKenzie from appearing on Sky.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Last night, the campaign for justice for the victims of the Hillsborough disaster received a tremendous boost. For the first time, the tragedy was debated in the House of Commons. For hours, there was an unparalleled show of cross-party unity as MPs shared tales of horror from that day in 1989.

We have waited a long time for a night like last night. 22 years. A generation.

During that time, one man has come to personify everything we were battling against. Kelvin McKenzie used his position as editor of The Sun to perpetuate awful lies about the city and the people of Liverpool, lies that we have had to challenge for years.

For all this time, we have said that he was wrong. Last night, our representatives in Parliament unanimously agreed with us, totally discrediting the work of this man. One MP went as far as to challenge McKenzie to apologise publicly or face a total media ban.

How then can you invite him onto your newspaper preview segment just 24 hours later? Aside from the hurt it causes to see him on television, seemingly every week these days, quite what a proven liar offers to your show, other than cheap controversial hits, is something of a mystery.

The timing of inviting him on today throws up questions too. The debate was a diary event; given the hugely sensitive nature of it and the fact that the newspapers being previewed are likely to contain stories about Hillsborough, do you think it wise to invite on somebody so clearly biased and deeply offensive?

Supporters of the campaign know McKenzie is a liar. Now the whole country does too. Surely, in the light of last night's debate, you must reconsider you decision to extend him an invitation to appear on the channel.

Done and done.

McKenzie has "pulled out" of his paper review on Sky tonight

No way get in!!

A retired judge has sparked fury by calling on the Hillsborough families to behave more like the relatives of victims of the Bradford City stadium disaster.

Sir Oliver Popplewell, who chaired the public inquiry into the 1985 fire at the Valley Parade stadium that killed 56 people, called on the Liverpool families to look at the "quiet dignity and great courage" relatives in the West Yorkshire city have shown in the years following the tragedy.

He made the comments in a letter to The Times following the Commons debate this week calling for all the Cabinet papers on Hillsborough to be released.

He said: "The citizens of Bradford behaved with quiet dignity and great courage.

"They did not harbour conspiracy theories. They did not seek endless further inquiries.

"They buried their dead, comforted the bereaved and succoured the injured.

"They organised a sensible compensation scheme and moved on.

"Is there, perhaps, a lesson there for the Hillsborough campaigners?"

Home Secretary Theresa May has pledged to release all possible documents on the 1989 FA Cup semi-final tragedy that left 96 Liverpool fans dead.

Labour MP Steve Rotheram (Liverpool Walton) told The Times: "How insensitive does somebody have to be to write that load of drivel?

"It is unbelievable. To mention other tragedies simply because they are football-related, as if there is some common denominator because they happened in football stadiums, beggars belief.

"Was there a conspiracy after the Bradford fire?

"Did the government try to blame the Bradford City fans for setting fire to the stadium on purpose?

"It shows how people right at the top of the Establishment still harbour prejudice and ignorance."


Margaret Aspinall, whose son James died in the disaster, told the newspaper: "He ought to be ashamed of himself."

I don't wanna ruin this thread with a response

A survivor of the 1985 fire at Bradford City in which 56 people died has profoundly criticised the judge who conducted the official inquiry into that disaster and who this week unfavourably compared the response of families bereaved by the Hillsborough disaster to those of Bradford. Martin Fletcher, who lost four close relatives in the fire, pointed out that Mr Justice Popplewell's report had failed to overhaul safety at football grounds and have fences in front of stands removed, and that Hillsborough then happened four years later.

Popplewell said in a letter to the Times that the Hillsborough families are "harbouring conspiracy theories'" rather than behaving with "quiet dignity and great courage" like the Bradford families did.

Fletcher was 12 when he emerged alive from Valley Parade's inferno, but his father, John, brother Andrew, grandfather Eddie and uncle Peter, with whom he had been attending the Third Division match between Bradford City and Lincoln City, all died. He was also at the FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough four years later, at which 96 Liverpool supporters died.

"For Popplewell to say that the Hillsborough families are 'harbouring conspiracy theories' while the Bradford families 'organised a sensible compensation scheme and moved on', is an absolute travesty of the truth and a disgrace," Fletcher said.

"I have many unanswered questions still about the fire in which four of my family died, as does my mother. Popplewell's report was nowhere close to the quality of Lord Justice Taylor's report after Hillsborough, and since reading it as an adult I have always been very disappointed in it and considered it a poor piece of work.

"Rather than lecture the Hillsborough families not to ask questions, the judge should ask himself why, after a disaster caused by a negligent approach to safety at football, despite his report, standards in football were allowed to remain so lamentably poor that another disaster happened at Hillsborough just four years later."
