Can you smell anything?

Re: Kelvin MacKenzie : Wed Sep 12, 2012 9:29 pm  

C**t

And I don't use that word lightly. Just a horrible, horrible man.

The insidious individual has been backed into a corner, with nowhere left to run after yesterdays Commons statement.
Trying to excuse himself by blaming it on misinformation 23 years ago.

To be fair to Call Me Dave, he showed his humble, human side when delivering the findings of the independent enquiry yesterday.

Criminal proceedings against the culpable should be the next course of action.

Can't see that happening - against who? Murray was acquitted, and an application for retrial when Duckenfield got a hung jury was refused.

Hasn't McKenzie already apologised once? IIRC he did, but then some time later said he only did so cos he had to, and was "not sorry then, and not sorry now".

Apparently there are still several serving officers within the South Yorkshire force who were complicit in the doctoring of evidence.
Can we not start with them?

It wasn't the odd statement that was subtly changed, it was 164pieces of evidence.

As per above – plus Irvine Patnick is still alive and should be stripped of his knighthood.

As for McKenzie – where's the apology from his bloody boss at the time? Nothing from the scumbag Murdoch yet. Although he's probably forgotten about it.

Hopefully it will also remind people about what Boris Johnson is like – and it's worth remembering that Margaret Thatcher was only interested in preserving the reputation of the police, and instructed that pieces of the report were altered to tone down or cut criticism of the force.

This was a class issue. As someone tweeted yesterday, can you imagine, if something similar had happened at Lord's, such smearing and lies, and taking 23 years to get to the truth?

Didn't Jimbob utter a half hearted apology recently at Leveson? If the current Chief Constable is openly admitting that ''senior officers sought to change the record of events,'' then as he also states, ''if people acted criminally then they should face prosecuton.'' It was uncomfortable viewing watching him being interviewed on last evenings Newsnight. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-19575770

Class had nothng to do with it. This was all about how can certain guilty people tried to wash their hands of the death of 96 people, and blame anyone but themselves
