Hillsborough Disaster: Leaked documents - Meseyside Police implicated


Recommended Posts

The Hillsborough Justice Collective charity single cover of The Hollies hit 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' is due to go on sale from December 17 to raise money to cover the legal costs of the families that lost loved ones in the Hillsborough Stadium crush.

 

A stocking filler that could well be the Christmas No.1.

It's one of my relatively few pet hates when someone starts showboating in the middle of this sort of turn-taking songs. Just sing it the way it goes, you twats.

Yeah that was the general consensus at work: "Was is just me or did you not think, 'for :censored:'s sake just sing it'?"

"No, I know what you mean, Jose Baxter's ex bellowing all over it didn't exactly improve on the original."

"Jose Baxter used to go out with Holly Johnson?"

 

I'll still be buying it, great cause and great gesture. Probably won't listen to it though.

I'm not really a Guardian man, but David Conn's reporting of the inquest on Twitter and in his newspaper has been excellent.

 

Here is just one example:

His reporting and the live updates on the Liverpool Echo website have been superb. PC Nicol's testimony was damning, you have to admire her honesty and bravery. The accounts from the survivors have been really harrowing, their courage in reliving something so horrific is humbling. How I'd love to make anyone who's ever made jokes or sang songs about Hillsborough listen to them.
