Removal of Sir Irvine Patnick’s Knighthood

We the undersigned support the actions of the Mayor of Liverpool requesting that Sir Irvine Patnick be stripped of his knighthood.
In the light of the findings of the Hillsborough Independent Panel requests that the Honours Forfeiture Committee should make a recommendation to the Prime Minister that Sir Irvine Patnick, former MP for Sheffield Hallam, be stripped of his knighthood for his role in the Hillsborough disaster cover up.

The Hillsborough Independent Panel has confirmed that the former MP was one of the sources of information which contributed to a vile and despicable smear campaign, as part of a deliberate attempt to deflect blame from the police for their appalling handling of the Hillsborough disaster onto the fans. These actions resulted in totally innocent people, including the 96 deceased and their families, the survivors and the people of Liverpool, being unjustly vilified, stigmatised and tarnished for 23 years.

The former MP’s actions have brought the honours system into disrepute and it should be removed as a matter of urgency.

This ePetition runs from 13/09/2012 to 19/10/2012.

Removal of Sir Norman Bettison's Knighthood and QPM

We the undersigned support the actions of the Mayor of Liverpool requesting that Sir Norman Bettison QPM be stripped of his knighthood and QPM.
Requesting that the Honours Forfeiture Committee should make a recommendation to the Prime Minister that Sir Norman Bettison be stripped of his knighthood and QPM following his statement that seeks to defend his actions in the Hillsborough disaster and his comments ‘that fans’ behaviour made the job of the police harder.’

His statement shows he continues to show no remorse for his actions and that at a time when many of those in positions of authority are apologising for their roles in what the Prime Minister called the ‘double injustice’ of the 96 deaths and the subsequent smearing of the fans, he continues to refuse to say sorry despite the overwhelming findings of the Independent Panel. His comments are appalling and disgraceful as he once again tries to shift the blame on to innocent people, a despicable tactic which was deployed at the time of the disaster and which successfully tormented the families of the deceased, survivors of the tragedy and people of Liverpool for 23 years.

His comments in the light of all the available evidence have brought the honours system into disrepute and his knighthood and QPM should be removed as a matter of urgency.

This ePetition runs from 14/09/2012 to 19/10/2012.

Done.

Shows that the knighthood system is a load of bullshit. Given to corrupt policemen, corrupt bankers and more wankers.

If I was ever offered one (however unlikely) I would go and tell them where to shove it and make sure everyone knows why I would reject such a piece of sh*t.

P.S. Can't understand why the Norman Bettison one has got less than Patnick's - need to get more for that one.

The depths of cuntiness have never been encountered before, this is new territory for most people.

Just signed both, noticed that too.

Maybe people thought the first petition was for both of them, although that would mean they hadn't read it, I suppose.

Hope more people get onto this, I think the numbers were approximately 4,300 and 1,700 signatures respectively, could do with more.

Thank You all so far, the thing is not many people know of the petition and with the help of others we are trying to spread the word I just hope word gets out.

IS it not possible to P.M. everyone  on the forumto make them aware of the petition ?

You should PM JD maybe, don't know if it's feasible.

It should come up in their unread posts frizz so I'd like to think the majority on here will do the right thing and fact as they should.

The sad thing is if they go to prison our nanny state will protect them.

Signed both as I trust all have.

Can anyone re-post the link to the petitions?  Just had a look to see how many have signed but I can't find it on that page now.

Come on, we can get more to sign it, I think its the last day today. You have to sign both e-petitions separately, and it takes literally 2 minutes to do.

I've made some edits to the opening post to make it more accessible to people who want to sign the petitions or didn't know much about it. I've left the Dale St News link in though as that's where the story originated from.

The 19th October isn't very far away at all, so this needs a huge push!!

Hillsborough petition extended for a month

The Mayor of Liverpool’s petition calling for key figures involved in the Hillsborough cover up to be stripped of their Knighthoods has been extended by a month.

It is to give people more time to express their views about the issue, particularly in light of a debate being held on the issue in the House of Commons on Monday 22 October.

Joe Anderson wrote to Sir Bob Kerslake, Chair of the Honours Forfeiture Committee, last month calling for the honours for Sir Irvine Patnick and Sir Norman Bettison to be revoked.

So far over 20,000 people have signed the petitions – with around 11,100 calling for the removal of Sir Irvine Patnick’s Knighthood and more than 9,100 calling for Sir Norman Bettison to be stripped of his Knighthood and Queen’s Police Medal.

It comes after the Hillsborough Independent Panel revealed that Patnick, the former MP for Sheffield Hallam, took the lead in actively briefing the media with lies about the role and responsibility of Liverpool FC fans at Hillsborough.

Sir Norman Bettison was previously a Chief Inspector and then Superintendent at South Yorkshire Police at the time of the disaster. The Independent Panel report highlights his production of a video tape which sought to present Liverpool FC fans as being to blame. He is now being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

The petition will now close on Friday 16 November.

Irvine Patnick has passed away.

Not going to stoop to his level and smear the dead, all I can say is my condolences to his family.

It's a pity he died before he faced the consequences of his actions.

That's all I will say on the matter.

I'm quite willing to stoop to his level. I hope he died of shame!

Agreed.
