Can't agree.

With no intention to trade or compare, I'm from Liverpool. A Liverpool Football Club supporter.

In 1989 95 LFC fans lost their lives in a stadium disaster, largely because a section of the police regarded football fans - and people from liverpool in particular - as subhuman. Salt was rubbed into these wounds by national tabloids printing authority-inspired LIES concerning the behaviour and conduct of the fans on that day.

15 years on, the wound is still raw for everyone who watched the game live. Everyone who had a relative there and the families and friends of those who passed away.

Yes, there are those who are sick of the continual coverage. There are those who believe that 15 years on, everyone should just let it go and move on.

For the majority though, while the truth is still hidden, while those responsible are allowed to hide behind the establishment and avoid responsibility lessons _cannot_ be learned and healing and forgiveness can't even be _considered_, let alone begun.

The similarity, to me, is in the lies and/or cover-ups.

Hillsborough Disaster

If i'm being irrelevent in some people's eyes then fair enough, I see a parallel. Why should the injured forget their wounds when there is no full and frank disclosure of the facts, no blame fully accepted, no lessons openly learned and no honest forgiveness sought?
