Petition to force the Sun newspaper to release its Hillsborough "The Truth" sources.

[Lee]

Quite why anyone would look at their website or buy it is beyond me. It's hardly jumping on a bandwagon.

[Red_Polo]

They are being cunts, mate, definitely. If they had some kind of rational reasoning behind disagreeing, you might just about be able to grudgingly let it slide, but it sounds like from what you say they couldn't give a ****ing **** either way and want to mock the fact that you do actually care about something. They seem like idiots if you ask me, welcoming in ignorance in the hope that it's bliss.

[Lee]

The thing is I suppose Kenneth is right - it's not really my place to get pissy with people about what they read. **** 'em.

But I've made a point numerous times about disliking the paper. Yet they still send me links in which I've no interest in clicking so they get all sarcastic and make a right big deal about it.

If they want to read it at home or whatever then fair enough, I don't want to know. But for them to ram it down my throats when they know my thoughts on it is taking the piss I think.

If they are sending you links despite knowing your stance then yes they are cunts mate.

[Fivex]

Just slip whoever's in charge of IT a tenner and get the site blocked for 'productivity reasons'.

And yeah, absolute ****ing cunts.

McKenzie really is a horrible cunt

Kelvin McKenzie blames "Liverpool journalists" for Hillsborough slur
by Aaron Sharp. Published Thu 08 Dec 2011 16:45, Last updated: 2011-12-08

Former editor of The Sun, Kelvin McKenzie has stirred-up a new Hillsborough storm by claiming that the vile allegations published about Liverpool fans came from the city itself.

The charge shas caused a new furore in Liverpool where journalists and MPs demanded that MacKenzie should withdraw the new allegation.

He made the claim in the BBC 2 TV programme seeking to justify the infamous 1989 front page story.

In the article under the headline "Hillsborough: The Truth" The Sun claimed that emergency services has reported Reds fans stole from the dead and urinate on rescue workers.

n the BBC 2 "The Daily Politics" show MacKenzie sought to pin the blame for the article on LIVERPOOL saying that it emanated from a "Liverpool News Agency".

Interviewed by Andrew Marr, MacKenzie said: "That story came from a Liverpool news agency and Liverpool journalists.

"Every newspaper carried that news story as you well know, I'm not listening to that.

"It was written by Liverpool Journalists.

Asked by Marr if he had any regrets or remorse about some of things he did as as a tabloid news editor

He said: "Yes, probably, I do yes

"If I could revisit Hillsborough, certainly I would do it in a different way.

"I would do it in the way that every other newspaper did it, which was basically that they ran the story and said "big fury over", and I wish I had done that, yes".

The 1989 tragedy at Sheffield Wednesday's ground was British football's worst disaster and plunged the city of Liverpool into mourning.

Under MacKenzie The Sun's coverage of the disaster brought calls for his resignation.

Sales of the paper plummeted in the Merseyside area and have never recovered. He was later required by Rupert Murdoch to apologise.

That hollow apology has never been accepted in Liverpool and there have been recent calls in parliament for an official investigation to establish the source of the allegations.

Chris Johnson, Managing Director of the Liverpool's main freelance news agency, Mercury Press, said MacKenzie's new allegations were untrue.

Chris Johnson said: "It is ludicrous for Kelvin McKenzie to try to shift the blame for his own blunders to a 'Liverpool news agency'.

"The lies printed in The Sun did not come from Mercury Press. I would be shocked an appaled if they came from any other Liverpool freelance journalist.

"It is just incredible to suggest the story originated in Liverpool. If it had done I'm sure that would have come-out years ago.

"Now McKenzie says if he had his time over he would do the story differently.

"But at the same time he is trying to blame Liverpool people for his mistake and that is adding insult to injury.

"He should withdraw this new allegation and I will be seeking an apology from him."

[Chris]

He is pure evil.

[BigMarv]

He is a Grade A tw*t. He has never had to be held accountable for the lies, so to get angry when questioned about it is completely reprehensible.

[CJ]

Didn't he always used to say that the source was a police officer?
