I hope there's a concerted effort to ensure the cunt MacKenzie never takes another £ from our pockets by appearing on BBC ever again.

Kelvin MacKenzie playing a victim of Hillsborough is as astonishing as it is hurtful.
He has known since The Taylor Report of 1989 that his front page was wrong yet his vanity would not allow him to retract it.
There I was naively believing there were only 96 victims of Hillsborough. How wrong could I be?
It turns out we have a 97th. A poor, wretched soul called Kelvin MacKenzie.
A casualty of a gross injustice, who now wants an apology from the police for forcing him to publish a Truth which stole his reputation and urinated on his credibility.
Oh, dear, his mind must be so tortured by guilt he has become delusional.
MacKenzie playing a victim of Hillsborough is as astonishing as it is hurtful, not merely to the bereaved families, but the survivors and fans who have been forced for 23 years to fight a grotesque slur he, more than any other individual promoted.
That they killed their own.
He has known since The Taylor Report of August 1989, that his infamous front page had libelled thousands of innocent people, yet his vanity would not allow him to retract it.
On numerous occasions since he has re-stated it and refused to apologise.
Yet now he’s been proven emphatically wrong, and sees his personal and professional integrity sink into the gutter, we’re supposed to believe he was the victim of an Establishment con. Even though he was at the very heart of it.
He whines about being vilified. “Where does that leave me?” he bleats.
Well, from where I’m standing, crawling out from under the same rock you were the night you laid out a Sun front page that only you could have dreamt up.

Councillor in row over Hillsborough report comments.Originally posted by ChesterDave View Post
Political leaders in Calderdale have condemned comments by one of the district’s councillors about the Hillsborough disaster and the Lawrence inquiry.
Councillor Roger Taylor, who represented Northowram and Shelf for the Tories, was criticised by JUST West Yorkshire, a Bradford-based organisation which promotes racial justice, civil liberties and human rights, after comments he made to the charity via e-mail.
The move followed the group’s call for West Yorkshire Chief Constable Sir Norman Bettison to resign in the wake of the findings of the recent Hillsborough Report. Coun Taylor made reference to the Hillsborough findings as being “overloaded with politically-correct language” like the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, something he also labelled “a joke in itself”.
When contacted by the Telegraph & Argus, Coun Taylor had said he was not going to enter into a defence of what he said in a private e-mail to the group.
Now both the Labour leader of Calderdale Council, Councillor Tim Swift, and deputy leader, Liberal Democrat Councillor Janet Battye, have spoken out against Coun Taylor’s comments and urged the Tory group to dismiss him.
Coun Swift described his comments as “unacceptable” and “completely insensitive” while Coun Battye said that they were “totally inappropriate”.
Ratna Lachman, of JUST West Yorkshire, said yesterday: “We welcome the investigation into Councillor Taylor’s conduct by the Standards Committee. We hope holders of public office will understand that they are accountable and cannot abuse their privilege of public office.”

South Yorkshire's chief constable says his force will not apologise to former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie over fallout from the Hillsborough disaster.
Mr McKenzie's lawyers sought an apology for the "vilification" he had received after false accusations were passed off as fact in his newspaper.
Mr MacKenzie claimed senior officers were the source for the story.
Chief Constable David Crompton said Mr MacKenzie was responsible for the article's headline "The Truth".
Mr MacKenzie printed the front page story shortly after the 1989 disaster.
People in Liverpool boycotted The Sun as the article claimed fans pickpocketed the dead and urinated on police.
'Accept responsibility'
The Hillsborough Independent Inquiry report, which was published two weeks ago, said there was no evidence to support the allegations in the paper.
Mr MacKenzie, writing in The Spectator magazine, said he suffered "personal vilification for decades" as a result of the newspaper's reporting of the disaster.
The former editor claimed police patrols have been increased around his house and he said he faced a "physical danger" if he ever went to Liverpool.
Mr MacKenzie wrote, "But the people who have got away scot-free are South Yorkshire Police," adding he is seeking recompense for "the lies their officers told".
In a statement David Crompton said: "SYP have received a letter from Kelvin MacKenzie's lawyers, which demands the force makes an apology to him.
"We have publicly apologised to the Hillsborough families and the Liverpool fans but we will not apologise to Mr MacKenzie.
"He chose to write his own headline and the cunt should accept responsibility for it."What do you mean it could've been anyone? Name me one person who's got a grudge against penguins

This reminds me of films where the main character slyly causes friction between two high level bosses which breaks out into a turf war. I hope the two cunts incriminate each other and both go to jail.Was muß, das muß.Comment

A Conservative councillor who called the Hillsborough report "politically correct" and the Stephen Lawrence inquiry a "joke" is facing an investigation into his conduct.
Roger Taylor's remarks to Bradford charity Just will be probed by the Calderdale Council Standards Committee.
In the email he said the Hillsborough report was "overloaded with politically correct language".
Mr Taylor said he sent the email personally and "not as a councillor".
He said he did not want to comment further.
'Absolutely appalled'
The charity was set up to fight racism and civil injustice.
It said it received Mr Taylor's email after publishing an article on its website supporting the Hillsborough families' call for the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police, Sir Norman Bettison, to resign and face criminal prosecution.
In the email, released by the charity, Mr Taylor said of the Hillsborough report: "Are you telling me that this report is not overloaded with politically correct language rather like the Stephen Lawrence 'enquiry' (a joke in itself) was?"
It said the organisation was "not fit to tie Sir Norman Bettison's shoe laces... so how dare you call for his resignation".
Mr Taylor's email also said: "As racist and anti-American Muslims once again rail against the west with their vile language of death to infidels you choose to ignore that and concentrate on Sir Norman."
Ratna Latchman, director of Just, defended the decision to publish the email.
She said: "As long as he was criticising us as an organisation we never went public with it but when as an elected representative he felt that he could undermine two public inquires that's the point at which we were very clear it was in the public interest to expose this man."
Tim Swift, Labour leader of the council, said he was "absolutely appalled" by the comments.
He said: "The concerning thing for me really is whether those accurately reflect his views and if they do they raise serious questions about his position."
I can't find their website to copy his actual emailkFootball without Origi is nothingComment

Aha, here we go courtesy of a blog site;
So is your ultra-left organization claiming that the police actually pushed into the terraces and suffocated the victims?
Are you telling me that this report is not overloaded with politically correct language rather like the Stephen Lawrence “enquiry” (a joke in itself) was?
You are not fit to tie Sir Norman Bettison’s shoe laces (I was on the WYPA for nearly three years by the way) so how dare you call for his resignation.
As racist and anti-American Muslims once again rail against the west with their vile language of death to infidels you choose to ignore that and concentrate on Sir Norman.
What a bunch you really are. If I thought you were getting tax-payers’ money I would be the first to secure its removal!
Well Mr Taylor, you are getting tax payers money and I'm sure there will be a solid effort to stop that.Football without Origi is nothingComment
