It's frustrating that despite this report I'm having to argue with idiots on other forums who are outraged that the fans have been exonerated. Like "oh yeah the police were obv wrong to cover it up but have you considered that maybe the fans were responsible?!!!". They keep going on about drunk ticketless scousers pushing forward despite the screams and I want to throw them under a bus.

What people are told first sticks in the memory, and a study suggested that people believe things more strongly when they find out that there's strong evidence against it. It's part of the reason why the police and government are always so quick to issue a press release, even if it turns out to be obviously and deliberately misleading - eg. de Menezes, Tomlinson, etc.

It at didnt start off as a Hillborough chant at least. I know some of our fans started singing it around the time of the Suarez-Evra nonsense - specifically after the t-shirts supporting Suarez were worn. It also ties into the bullshit belief that people from Liverpool have a 'victim mentality' which Boris Johnson shat out of his mouth in the Spectator a while back.

I was very surprised to see these signs when I was driving down the M6, but I guess it shows quite how large the inquest and the interest in the inquest are (and rightly so)
