For many years the various editorial and reporting regimes have been very
quick to distance themselves from the actions of their predecessors fifteen
years ago. Perhaps the one good thing to come out of this incident is that
they have illustrated to all that this is as much of a myth and a lie as the
rest of their actions. They have confirmed their true colours and yet again
taken the opportunity to portray the people and football fans of Merseyside
as mindless hooligans, hell bent on trouble.

The S*n interviewed bereaved parents as well as members of both the HJC and
HFSG yet chose not to use any of the comments. They have confirmed that the
mindset of their predecessors remains alive and well in their newsroom.

To add insult to the numerous injuries that have been compounded over
fifteen years these ignorant bastards then finish their propaganda exercise
with an amazing line: “It’s time to move on”. The press have created a
national hero, the minority who simply cannot move on in their own small
minded bigotry have vilified that hero.

How ironic that this rag that revels in nationalist bigotry tells us that
fifteen years is longer than either world war, as though they never make any
reference to these matters. The same rag that recently chose to illustrate
Marc Vivien Foe’s dead body on its front pages. I simply cannot believe that
they have the nerve to criticise us for being unable to forget their actions
when they choose to compound them in such a manner. It truly is beyond
comprehension or belief.


Anybody who considers buying this rag has no respect for the treatment they
gave to Liverpool fans and the families of the bereaved. To portray the
actions of this organisation as that of an individual, is naĂŻve at best,
conspiratorial at worst. Those who feel that we should forgive and forget
should read Anne Williams' book, and how her fight for her dead son’s rights
have been obstructed at every turn by the authorities. Those who wish to
know how the families of the bereaved feel about this rag should attend a
HJC meeting on a Monday evening in Oakfield Road, and speak to some of the
families - you will be left in no doubt of their opinions.

In conclusion, you should think of the 96 people who died at Hillsborough,
their families and many survivors whose quest for Justice has been denied by
the authorities and how The S*n as an organisation set out to deliberately
mislead the British public into the belief that we are drunken yobs who
pissed on and robbed our own, beat up and spat on the Yorkshire police.

The only language that The S*n understands is hard cash and the only way we
can show that we will not and will never tolerate their treatment of us is
to refuse to buy it! We are hurting them and we must continue to hurt them.

PLEASE, NEVER BUY THE S*N

Apologies for length but its well worth reading, especially if you know anyone who reads this rag.
