There's also reports of these jibbers paying £500 a time to stewards in bungs. Which tbf is about 10 times the amount they would've had to pay a copper so at least they got rinsed there.
Duckinfield could not account for his whereabouts for the three hours leading up to the disaster at Hillsborough. Literally the first case of pre-traumatic shock ever recorded in medical history. Eye-witnesses saw him at the local police club bar, but they were dead by last year's trial.
Thatcher's army had declared war on the lower social classes after the miners strike some years before, certain tabloids joined her stance. Take away their football, take away their beer (taxes) take away their cigarettes (more taxes) all this after destroying their jobs, blame the fans for everything. Then she tried to cover up the report that was blaming the police by focusing more on the recommendations within it, which ticked all the right boxes for her own goals in the attack on fans. It's what I use to and still do as it happens call social cleansing. A lot of people today probably don't get it or understand it all, you have to be a certain age to have witnessed what was going on, hence why I refused to directly condemn the fans on Sunday, but more focused on the failings of the police and society in general, once again.
If I was their age I would be jibbing too. Apparently it is alternative to bunk into a festival but not football
Good post. I'm reading a book from a South Shields miner who started working at the coal face just after WW1. IT was the same back then . Any dispute and wanting if a better life was reported as the peasants revolt .
That ball looks like they got it from a Southsea beach vendor, out of a big stringy basket, that also has buckets and spades and flip flops in it.
He looks pretty much how I looked this morning after I was asked to go back to the office after 18 months working from home.
