The Farm's Peter Hooton remembers the Hillsborough disaster - BBC Newsnight

[@drunk_wolfs]

My dad was at the game I am so happy he did not die But still it's horrible what happens and what the sun said RIP 96

[@aliverbirduponmychest3055]

As a survivor of the central pens on the Leppings Lane terrace at Hillsborough I know first hand exactly what happened that day. I gave a statement to West Midlands police and as a result was told I would need to give evidence at the Coroner's inquest, my statement no longer exists so I can confidently say I have first hand knowledge of a cover up! The behaviour of the print media in printing lies went a long way in facilitating that cover up with headlines like "THE TRUTH" in The Sun and people should never forget that, never forget that most importantly people died, but also many survived and have suffered in silence for decades and for some that suffering become too much and they have taken their own lives! The behaviour of the establishment, the judicial system and the media should never be forgotten! DO NOT BUY THE SUN!!

I will never forget the photo's of the people being crushed and the horrified looks on their faces. Absolutely terrifying.

so very sad Rip to the 96 ynwa.

[@shredder9536]

You never hear of the Ibrox stadium disaster which killed 66 Rangers fans because the authorities took responsibility for their deaths. The Hillsborough families have had 30 years of struggle to get the truth and justice. Hopefully they can rest in peace finally.

[@dipsydoodah5715]

It’s coming up to 30 years since that fateful day! Everything, inquests etc take such a long time must be torturous for the families and friends affected

[@pauljameskenney2955]

what is the final verdict of all this ? meaning anyone been done? Has The SUN paper ever apologised? Sorry for all the people affected really feel for you all

[@floydbloke258]

@paul jameskenney , Yes the Sun has apologised but this has been received as a ploy to increase circulation in Merseyside rather than genuine regret. The inquest completed in 2016 ruled the deaths as Unlawful, overturning the verdict from the original (flawed) inquest of Accidental Death. David Duckenfield manslaughter (through gross negligence) trial commenced last week.

[@TheKonga88]

Apologies are mere empty words of vile scumbags who feel the need to do it because they are obliged to do so.. Bodies hanging from gallows would be much more satisfying and also would provide some great entertainment on pay per view t.v..

[@TommyBahama84]

Im a Liverpudlian and a Red. I fully support the families' fight for justice and vindication. However, I can't bear listening to the likes of Peter Hooton, Brian Reade, Tony Evans and Richie Greaves going on and on about that terrible day - same old mouths thriving off it. Liverpool as a city and a football club needs to stand up and look to the future and take it's place.

[@obliviousplayz1153]

The ten year old that died was Steve Gerrards cousin

what were you doing on may 29?

[@jonsimmons1147]

Watching Northampton town play. I can remember someone listening to the radio and saying it's been called off because the Liverpool fans were rioting.

[@garethfieldstead7547]

So you expect Juventus to forgive and forget following 39 being killed by you lot but you dont forgive and forget a paper for publishing an article in support of the police?

[@CFlfc98]

Quite impressive how so many people can believe they hold any moral high ground when they slander the death, and subsequent state-backed coverup, of 97 innocent men, women and children by pretending to care about a separate tragedy in which men, women and children died, usually in an attempt to score petty football points. The truth of Heysel was known within months and there was some semblance of justice within a year. The truth of Hillsborough was obfuscated for 27 years and still not one person has been prosecuted. Only the worst of humanity side with the powerful over the powerless. That, unfortunately, is what people like you do. And you will never acknowledge because of how ingrained that sentiment is.

Remember Heysel? Liverpool fans killed Juventus fans. So its just karma.

Heysel had justice for the victims and prison sentences served, and how is it the same?I hope karma catches up with you soon and serves you with a future that is as hideous as you
