Hillsborough 1989 - A Wider View (part one)

This is the first of a series entitled: Hillsborough - A Wider View

In this first entry, we look at the wider scope of the fallout from the events at

Hillsborough in very brief terms.

More detail and a look at individual errors will follow in future entries.

HILLSBOROUGH - what an evocative word, or is it?

If you’re a citizen of Britain or indeed a football fan, we would strongly suggest that it

should be.

Why?

On Saturday 15th April 1989, the worst ever British sporting disaster occurred, & many

have taken to pen and paper, recording their thoughts, but here we ask:

“What should that simple phrase, Hillsborough, April 1989, mean to a British

citizen?”

In short, it should bear witness to a tragic injustice of our ‘green & pleasant land’, to

wear the scars of British hypocrisy & never be hidden away.

Because that dark scheme leaves a stain that seeps into many prongs of our Society,

from young to old, from poor to rich, & from those of privilege to those who scrap for

everything they have in life.





All are touched by the events of Hillsborough, but especially by their aftermath; whether

in ignorance or the criminally tragic truth.

Abundant are the names of those hypocrites, many living today & those now dead, but it

is in what they did & yet what they claimed to represent, that we should never forget.

Policemen, doctors, nurses, politicians, teachers, parents, football supporters, journalists, tradesmen & executives of many sorts, have all been very powerfully

touched by those 96 innocent deaths.

An extraordinary account of events is for an eternity inscribed, in the Hillsborough

Independent Panel's Report.

The 395-page chronicle of responsibility is not easy for any honourable person to

contemplate, nor should it be; if we are to honestly remember, respect and provide

justice for those who died and those who survived but are forever physically and/or

emotionally scarred. The Panel’s Report was published on Wednesday, 12th

September 2012 (Wednesday’s child is full of woe), & in my view permanently changedour relationship with the British Establishment, because UK agencies now undeniably

have blood on their hands, as well as those forever tarnished for publishing lies.

It is an horrendous fact that if we wrote this to point the finger of blame, we would only

currently fail to do so, because who exactly takes responsibility for the deaths of The 96

cannot be identified; precisely the reason why we have a number of investigations

proceeding, & of course the crucial High Court judgement exposing very serious

corruption at the heart of this nation’s judicature.

Which is why this is so much more than a sporting disaster.

It should be remembered for a very long time in our history, reminding us of what takes

place when a ‘modern’ democracy seeks to quell, yes, even crush its citizens’ voice.

It has been established that Policemen lied & their Force(s) colluded, that the English

FA denied people their human rights for monetary profit, that people in various

organisations failed to ensure grounds being used were safe, that coroners & medics

essentially lied to hide accountability, that judges conspired to subdue the truth, &

politicians connived to hinder innocent victims.





Consider more closely which ‘professions’ made such mendacious schemes, to trample

& silence the voices of dignified memorial:

First we have to understand that such lying smears only compounded Police force

failure & Ambulance service incompetence, which are now established facts.

It began with an MP and Policemen’s lies, probably within minutes of the tragedy’s firstvictim, & once the tangled web of lies and deceit began, many would implicate

themselves in its deceit and by doing so also tarnish the reputations of many innocent

people and indeed a whole city.

To make matters worse, journalists & press agencies bought into the lies, many without

question. This only served to spread the lies not just to those alive at the time but to a

whole generation who followed.

Indeed, one utterly discredited agency clung to its bigoted insults, which to this day is

hated.

What followed these initial lies only makes for very uncomfortable cognition; that senior

Police officers could lie to protect those they saw as their own, that well respected UK

coroners (themselves responsible for very serious tasks) could take part in deception,

which would only brutalise and smear innocent people, denying them true justice.

These are the very people we as citizens put our trust in to protect us. To uphold the

law and to ensure that there is justice where there is wrongdoing.

On Hillsborough, they failed.

To date not a single person has been held accountable for the deaths of 96





innocent people at Hillsborough. That is not merely unjust - it is a national disgrace.

What about the football authorities though? This happened prior to the Premier League

and it happened in an English FA organised competition - their prestigious cup

tournament: The FA Cup.

So where have the English FA been in all of this?

This organisation have said absolutely nothing of note, since the HIP published that

damning Report, except a half-hearted apology that doesn’t even come close to

recognizing the terrible double injustice done, nor in any way attempt to lift the very

heavy burden carried by the victims’ families, & to many more who survived

Hillsborough.

It is this glaring abuse by a governing body which proves that it isn’t fit for purpose.

Indeed as in many organisations instead of the guilty being shipped out, sacked and/or

prosecuted many have been promoted or are still in other positions of influence within

either the English game or abroad.

Hillsborough is a massive stain on not just football but also the British Justice system,

democracy and indeed on basic human decency.

Justice is coming. But it is over 24 years too late for some.
