Gents You may have already signed this but if you havent please do. Its a petition for Sir Norman Bettison to have his Knighthood stripped and to face retrospective disciplinary for his major part in the cover up at Hillsborough. The report suggests Bettison would have been sacked had he not resigned. In doing so Bettison protected his pension and has escaped justice as he will now not face any action. Passing football fans, and indeed anyone in society, should consider signing it as it shows what the people that govern us can really get up to with nobody checking them. We'd get hammered in the courts and so should he. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/47770 17,382 people have already signed it.

I think I have signed this already but can't remember, what happens if I just do it again anyway? Edit: never mind, it tells me I can't do it again
I think as the time gets nearer to the e-petitions closing date the momentum and further revelations of his despicable crimes will take it way past its target. I also think that the people of Merseyside should refuse to pay his ****ing pension, they can't take us all to court and the publicity for that alone would put the ****er in the spotlight and show the country/world what we think of him.
I think it probably has something to do with the number of petitions that have been flying about over the last few months Maybe a link to the Panorama report should be posted on here too?
Considering South Yorks Police now have been proven to be the major factor in the deaths, injuries, lies and cover-up of the Hillsborough disaster their attitude towards the survivors stinks, yet officers from their force from the day of the disaster to this have claimed compensation, sickness benefits, early pensions, higher jobs, knighthoods etc based on what they saw and did on that day yet they refute any claim for compensation by those supporters that were on the receiving end of their incompetence citing the time limit statute. Its obvious that many of those hurt/injured etc on the day never claimed compensation due to the lies and stigma that the SYP, Government and press attached to them and it being 'their own fault' [h=1]Hillsborough cops: 'It's too late to sue us'[/h]22 May 2013 08:02Three-year time limit means claims should be dismissed Share on printShare on email please log in to view this image Liverpool FC fans spill on to the pitch at Hillsborough Stadium's Leppings Lane end during the semi final against Nottingham Forest Police have told injured survivors of the Hillsborough disaster they are too late to make compensation claims against them. South Yorkshire Police have said personal injury claims lodged by some of the 766 people hurt on the day should be dismissed because they are outside the normal three-year time limit. Campaigners today branded the move “ridiculous”, and said the force’s own involvement in the cover-up had been responsible for the delay. Specialist lawyers from at least three firms of solicitors are in the process of bringing forward cases on behalf of survivors. Among them is David Greene of London-based Edwin Coe LLP, who said the publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel’s report last September had offered new hope to his clients. He said: “Many people took no action immediately after the disaster because they felt vilified by the statements of the police and press. “One of the planks of our argument against the police’s response is the fact that police conduct blamed the fans. “Understandably, those fans were hesitant to take action, bearing in mind that they were being blamed for what happened.” please log in to view this image The Hillsborough memorial at Anfield Sheila Coleman, from the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, said it would be “ridiculous” if claims were blocked due to time limits. She said: “Normal rules should not apply to a decision like this. “We have had experience in the past of challenging time limits where new information has emerged after a normal limit has expired. “Those circumstances clearly apply here and that should be the case.” Campaign lawyer Elkan Abrahamson, who represents a number of survivors, said their cases had not yet reached the stage of serving proceedings. But he said he expected the police to offer the same defence. He added: “I anticipate that they will not be successful, on the basis that new information shows clear misconduct by the police.” Mr Greene said he expected the claims to take up to a year to be resolved. It is understood the ongoing inquest process to establish the cause of the 96 deaths as a result of the disaster will not have an impact on the personal injury cases. Mr Greene said: “It would be a disgrace for the police to rely on their conduct of vilification to suggest the victims of that vilification have no claim any more.” A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said the force was not in a position to comment due to the inquest process and the investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). In a statement the force said it “continues to co-operate fully with all judicial processes following the release of the Hillsborough Independent Panel’s report and online archive in September 2012.”
Already signed this one a while ago but keep it bumped chaps. This guy's a total scumbag and should be banged up for the rest of his rotten life.
Yeah I signed this ages ago, but I've now signed it again using a different email address and shared it with several friends/relatives
