I won’t be held responsible if I see another Twitter cunt say “dropped” instead of released, “copped” instead of bought or purchased and “excited for” instead of excited about.

Off topic but one of the replies to that John07 tit regarding Hillsborough is quite good especially this bit:

 

" The failure was not the decision to open the exit gate but not to manage the consequences of that decision e.g. by notifying relevant police and security personnel and making arrangements to disperse the fans once they had entered the ground. There was no crushing or even overcrowding in the area between the turnstiles and the stand, and people were able to move about freely in this area throughout. All police had to do was do exactly what their predecessors did in 1981 and 1988, namely close the entrances to overcrowded pens and direct fans to the quieter entrances. No one did this because, shockingly, no one noticed that an influx of people into the ground would cause crushing in the overcrowded central pens - the connection just wasn't made until people were already dying. Signage was also dreadful meaning that the tunnel leading to the overcrowded central pens was the only obvious entrance to the terraces. There was never an excess of fans in the Leppings Lane End as a whole, they were just badly dispersed, so ticketlessness isn't really relevant either. This wasn't a series of tough decisions that went the wrong way, it was a series of elementary failures in crowd management, personnel coordination and decision making."

 

As someone who was there, I've been saying this for 30 years.

I know there have been plenty of Hillsborough threads but I thought it was worth adding something to this that may be of value to anyone having a 'discussion' with 'certain people'. My dad is, if I do say so myself, natural police, and I remember asking him whom he thought was to blame for Hillsborough and dreading the response from a man with a slightly authoritarian air that comes with being natural police. His response was unequivocal: 100% the fault of the police. His reasoning (and this is the bit worth adding to the discussion)? "He [Duckenfield] never walked the ground". As the senior policeman in my home town for the final years of his career, he had responsibility for the local race meeting that took place about 10 times a year. Hardly a Hillsborough-level event, with the numbers at all the meetings in a year put together unlikely to exceed 50,000. It didn't matter though. On the day of every meeting, he would personally walk through every nook and cranny of the course. Why is that there? Why is that different from last time? This is what policing is, and you can never, ever assume that someone else is going to do it for you. If you'd rather ponce around in a fancy uniform surveying the grunts on the battlefield, join a Civil War reenactment society.

As somebody who was also there I wholeheartedly agree with this post.

Natural Police?  Is this an auto-correct thing as I have never heard that term before.
