Hillsborough survivor meets 'hero' rescuer after viral appeal - BBC News

Nice enough story......

But fuck me, that kid has grown up into some fucking sorry state hasn't he? Was saving him the humane thing to do? I'm not convinced.

I'm off to print his picture, so I can stick it on the mantle and keep the bairns away from the fire.
The guy who saved him seems like a top bloke, but fucking hell - the kid looks like a terrible scouse stereotype character by some shit comedian.
 
I watched it mate - but part of the national curriculum? It's getting silly.

That's just it, we have all seen it, many times over the years, a true Tragedy

New Yorkers have 9/11 at back of their minds often I am sure, but is not referred to at every juncture, they tend to look forward not backward

The old adage was if you believed all the stories, around 2,000 Eastenders reckoned they were in the Blind Beggar when Ronnie shot George Cornell, and I do get a sense of this from the Hillsborough thing. A few too many seem to jump into it, to want to be part of it, which is very strange.

Not knocking anyone who was there, or their families, it's just it's done now
 
Told this joke yedterday...
Two Scouser scallywags die and go to heaven. When they arrive at the Pearly gates, they ask peter if they can come in? Peter says, I'll need to go and ask God. Off Peter goes to ask....on his return they are gone. He runs back to God shouting, THEY ARE GONE, THEY ARE GONE. God replies, the scoucers. Peters says no, the gates....

That could have been a lot worse....

I think the real Hillsborough revisionist problem has been establishment driven, criminal in character, and over a generation in duration - not the few dicks guilty of grief surfing.

National curriculum, yes, it should be. Assuming a history acknowledging the dark truth of British establishment corruption in the demonisation of a working class city is the one delivered. I can't be confident of that though.
 
Maybe it's because they didn't have to endure years of slights and fight for justice for members of their family that were killed?
Oh and, aye, American society really just shrugged that whole 9/11 thing off didn't they? Really managed to rise above it. A nation of "9/11 shit happens" bumper stickers prevailed.

It would have been terrible if they'd just over reacted and destroyed entire nations, replaced governments, murdered millions, placed their own population under a cloud of paranoid fear, while making film upon film about a War on Terror to justify modern facism in the popular psyche. Aye, thank fuck they never did anything like that.

But the Scousers, aye, they over reacted in their painfully humble plight for justice. Cunts that they are
