For the first time ever I just went onto The S*n's website, purely to see if they had any articles relating to this and if so what there stance would be.

It couldn't be any more obvious where they are in this, they have the article way beneath the fold of the page as a sub item, so unless you scroll down considerably you would never know.

Instead of the page being focused on what is very much in the public domain, they have focused on Kerry Katona ffs.


How anybody could even consider to buy one of their publications of sh*t, responsible for so much hurt not only in this case, is so much beyond me.

How many people on this forum were there on the day?

As I've already said, I was a survivor from the Leppings Lane (to this day I still don't know how or why). I was one of the very lucky ones who were stretchered off early after being resuscitated by two of the SYP junior officers. In fact I'm sure one of them was the fella interviewed on the BBC the other night although I can't be certain of much from that day.

Unfortunately my mate Alan "Mally" Johnston was not so lucky. We were together until we were separated as we entered pen B along with another mate who I later discovered had climbed over into pen C. Mally and I were both missing for hours; I had been taken to the Northern General hospital in a 'Black Maria' (there weren't enough ambulances) but he was found around 11pm among the dead bodies in the gym back at Hillsborough.

Twelve of us left to watch a football match together that day but only eleven of us came back. And for 23 years we've been told it was our fault and we murdered our own fans. I think I'll go home early today and raise a glass for the 96 as I'm in bits here in work.

Choking, in tears. Cannot possibly understand what you went through. YNWA to you and the 96.

Thanks for sharing mate, dreadful dreadful story and I can't even begin to comprehend what the last 23 years, and today in particular, have been like.

Stick it up your arse, Mackenzie.

I whole heartedly admire your strength and courage.

Stick it up your arse, Mackenzie.

He just knows he can't hide anymore is all.

Families on 5live when asked about his apology responded with...."To little to late. We want him off the screens of the bbc, the man is a low life"

[Chazza]

Meaningless words used to try and salvage his media career.

Stick it up your arse, Mackenzie.

In many ways, today's events have only deepened the injustice I have felt--it has served to highlight the fact that it took 23 years and countless lies to come to this point. Sometimes, I feel I don't have a place to comment: I wasn't born until three years after the tragedy and was extremely lucky not to have lost any family or people close to my family on the day. Nevertheless, Hillsborough is an event that always been very much a part of the fabric of my life. I know that it's a step forward, but it hasn't done much to make me feel less empty. After the initial "triumph" of truth, the magnitude of the occasion has only become more pronounced.

Good stuff from The Huffington Post.
