Sacked from the front bench.

Shame really, as nutters go, he's quite amusing.

Eh? A bunch of pissed up scousers trample each other to death, not
four years since they did it to a bunch of Italians in Belgium, and
we're supposed to believe it was all the fault of a couple of
Yorkshire bobbies?

Do me a favour.

A toffee-nosed total tosser of a toff.

While on the subject of silly billies who have offended
the good folk of Liverpool, I see that Connolly will be
back on BBC1 next Saturday night. That's rather tactless.

 

Why? He's a good comedian isn't he?

So your views are to the right of his then?

 

He was. He's rubbish now.

 

Personnally i wouldn't go so far as to say he's rubbish, not *as* good as he
once was but still quite good. IMHO of course.

the press as saying "he made me pregnant" and there's me thinking it took

Just think. If baby Jesus had been blonde, the entire course of history
might have been different.

"Where have you been centurion"

 

A blonde goes into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss, concerned
about his employee's well being, asks sympathetically, "What's the matter?"

The blonde replies, "Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my
mother had passed away."

"I'm terribly sorry to hear that. Why don't you go home for the day... we
aren't terribly busy. Just take the day off to relax and rest."

The blonde very calmly explains, "No, I'd be better off here. I need to keep
my mind off it and I have the best chance of doing that here."

The boss agrees and allows the blonde to work as usual. "If you need
anything, just let me know," he says.

A few hours pass and the boss decides to check on the blonde. He looks out
over his office and sees the blonde crying hysterically. He rushes out to
her, and asks, "Are you going to be okay? Is there anything I can do to
help?"

"No," replies the blonde, "I just got a call from my sister, and she said
that HER mom died too!"

 

Cane emerged from their own little world to say

So, you don't want the death penalty for all crimes now then?

 

Of course, no other football fans go for a couple of jars before a game....

The sad thing about Hillsborough was it was a tragedy waiting to happen. A
serious ****-up with crowd-control measures on behalf of the rozzers,
combined with a typical "worked up" crowd mentality from the fans. It could
have been any group of supporters that day, when everything combined to make
bad shit happen.

And where exactly do you point the finger?

5000 fans waiting to get in before kick-off, with 15 mins to go. They could
have delayed the start of the game, enabling people to enter in a more
orderly fashion. Instead, the police opened a gate, allowing the crowd
outside to enter the (already crowded) Leppings Lane end. The resulting
surge was the problem. The police should have known that this could only end
in tears. It was avoidable, and it was not even really noticed by the powers
that be until 6 minutes after the start of the game.


Then again, you could blame evolution. One of the base human drives is to
achieve and get what you want for yourself, in this case get in to see the
game. Another is that when in mass numbers, group think takes over. That is
how some armies work so well, for example. Thirdly, a sense of belonging to
a tribe or a caste. All together for a common cause. Some satisfy that urge
with fierce loyalty to their local football team (or in the case of a lot of
Man U fans, loyalty to a team 150 miles up the M1/M6)..

Take away these three drives from humanity and that tragedy probably would
not have happened. Then again, take away those three drives and as a race we
would probably all died out years ago with a massive case of the frenchiepoo
fagnasties.


Stick a large number of humans in one place with something to get worked up
about and the potential for shit to go down is immense.

2nd Sept 2004 - Saudi Arabia - Two Killed in IKEA Stampede. People gather
at the new IKEA store in Jeddah where the stampede happened. Hundreds of
shoppers drawn by a voucher offer rushed into an IKEA branch in western
Saudi Arabia, causing a stampede that killed two people and injured sixteen.

2004 (Feb 5th) Beijing - festival disaster kills 37 BEIJING (Reuters) - At
least 37 people have been killed and 15 injured at a lantern festival in a
north suburb of the Chinese capital, doctors say. "As far as I know, 37
people were killed and 15 were injured," a doctor at Miyun County Hospital
told Reuters on Thursday. The Chinese Lunar New Year lantern and fireworks
display ended in disaster when spectators packed on a metal bridge died in a
crush. The bridge, bedecked with red lanterns, spans a 100-metre canal.


For two non-football related incidents. An IKEA crush, for fucks sake.
Of course, with crowd-control measures, these could have been avoided as a
lot of the time they work. Sadly, for the fans at Hillsborough, they didn`t.

RIP the lot of em.

Not to mention the fact that a lot of the 96 weren't from Liverpool.

Then again, if they're going to support Liverpool, that means they must all
be bubble permed, mustachioed, shellsuit wearing scally pricks that spend
all their time stealing cars, fighting, and saying "Ey, Ey, calm down, calm
down".

Exactly the same way every Man United fan lives within 5 minutes of Old
Trafford, works in a meat pie factory, listens to Oasis and thinks Anthony
H. Wilson is God.

Still, blame the Scousers. Nothing to do with anything else at all.

Obviously.

Aye, and he probably isn't a daft as he appears.
