Nu har jeg i flere podcasts hørt endda erklærede fans af #LFC komme med fejlbelagte udlægninger af, hvad #Hillsborough tragedien egentlig gik ud på. Det er øv!
Så her er en 🧵 med fakta og kendsgerninger om den værste stadionkatastrofe i nyere tid 👇🏻 #JFT97 #YNWA

97 mennesker mistede livet den dag. 94 af dem på selve dagen, 1 døde få dage efter og 2 er senere gået bort efter at have været i vegetativ tilstand i årevis pga skader fra ulykken. 766 kom til skade i større eller mindre grad.
Hillsborough Stadium i Sheffield var neutral bane i FA Cup semifinalen 15. april 1989 mellem Nottingham Forest og Liverpool FC
Got a big response to this, with fans from lots of clubs sharing their experience of crushing at Hillsborough over the years.
I’ve compiled them into a thread for researchers and posterity…

Spurs fan re 1981
“I’ll never forget my brothers coming back from that match in 81 & saying how horrific it was. There should NEVER have been another semi there. Not that they care that much about fans now, but they really didn’t give a shit in the 80’s.”

LFC Fan re 1988
“I was in Pen C in 1988 and saw a lads arm get broken we were crushed in so tight.”

A thread showing how, as The Sun's "confidential source" Rebecca Vardy lost the #WagathaChristie case, the "newspaper" (a generous description) itself took one of a helluva kicking in the judgment. NB Schadenfreude warning! 1/
You can tell that The Sun knew that it and its journalistic standards suffered withering criticism by the fact that, in 1000s of words of coverage, Murdoch's rag doesn't mention The Sun once! That's despite being named by the judge over 125 times in 290 paragraphs. 2/
A real feat of misleading court reporting. Using distortion, low cunning & the rare quality of *having no shame*. The case is all about Vardy (via her agent) selling stories to The Sun. Yet The Sun reports "stories were leaked to *the press*" & "selling stories to *the media*" 3/
As the dust on #nffc v #lfc settles, a thread of thoughts, none of which reflect the views of any group I’m linked with. I thought the atmosphere at the match generally was the kind of tribalism most of us have enjoyed in the past, largely lost to sanitised modern football, but…
… a line was crossed by some @NFFC fans, entirely as I had predicted in letters to the club, but which were ignored at club level and the buck passed to fans. For me, while the 97 seats was a great touch, it was the easy option. A clearer statement on The Truth was needed…
… along with something about how offensive chants would be handled. For me, the club kow-towed to the coked up, boozed up ‘warriors’ in the name of ‘sensitivity’. Season ticket sales and social media reaction trumped morals…
Over the years we’ve backed football protests the length and breadth of England & beyond to defend our clubs as community assets. Now it’s time to get behind @killthebill_1 #KillTheBill to defend the right to protest so we can keep it up. inews.co.uk/opinion/polici…
In 2017 Blackpool fans from @BlackpoolST appeared on Colne Radio when their team played the #ColU and said Oyston Out so #KilltheBill 1/3
Over the weekend Keir Starmer spat in the eyes of Labour's most loyal heartland of Liverpool by writing an editorial for the S*n.

Starmer's outriders defended his divisive decision to write for the lying rag on the grounds that Starmer needs to appeal to S*n readers, to win an election.

There's a lot wrong with this argument, not least the fact that Starmer's article was infantile and unpersuasive drivel about "saving Christmas", which actually plays right into the "theatre of the absurd" that Johnson so clearly thrives in.
