Great British Ignorance!

I've just been checking to see how many people have signed the petition  http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/lfcdisaster/ which so many of you have already signed.

I was saddened to see that, instead of writing his/her name, some scumbag inserted the following comment: "It was the fault of the Liverpool fans who turned up late and drunk. Get over it."

This ignorance not only saddens me - it angers me greatly - I'm fuming as I type this at the thought that some ignorant b*stard can abuse and abase the memory of the 96 who needlessly lost their lives, and their families for whom this petition seeks to right the wrong and to seek justice at long last.

I feel so strongly about this that I feel it's high time that the S*n was forced into publishing a prominent admission of the lies they reported, lies which are greatly responsible for the amount of ignorance which still pervades certain quarters of society.

That said, I intend to initiate some kind of petition which will ultimately ask the S*n (either directly or, if necessary, through Governmental pressure) to retract unconditionally the lies it reported 20 years ago.

If anybody wishes to help me in this quest, I'd be delighted to hear from you - just IM or email me. Thanks

I agree totally with you and think that seeing the s*n print some retraction, preferably a "we lied" would be one step along the line of justice. I'll support whatever petition you decided on.

Cheers Gail!  Will be in touch.
