Yes. Me. Really good fact finding drama.Unbelieveable to see what these people had to do to get justice in the end. This programme will get an award when the prizes get dished out.
I've not been watching but just wanted to comment on getting justice. If you don't have title or money in this country then justice is hard to come by. Just what the 99% have to do to fight their corner is horrendous. It's a hard slog.Quote:

I didn't watch the programme, though I know the story and it will probably make for great drama.
Just what the thread needed. :xmasthumbup:Quote:

Ive started watching it - I’m a bit caught between how much of this is fact vs dramatised. Clearly the main message and theme is fact, justice for the 97 has been a long time coming. The way the police, government, local government and media acted is absolutely criminal but I think when this truly history, more will come out / better analysis will be provided at the actions on the day, and sinceQuote:

If they had got those culpable to court earlier there would have been some sort of justice
I think by the time they were it was all too late

Anyway she had to watch all of the footage of fans heading into the ground knowing some would be dead a few minutes later. She was able to provide some reassurance to one family who were convinced their son died with the Police ignoring him. As it happened video footage revealed a Police Officer was there doing his best for their son. It was a small crumb of comfort.
For a (very) detailed summary without the dramatisation - https://www.theguardian.com/football...justice-system
No doubt that many coppers that day tried to save livesQuote:

If some guy sweeping the roads in Grangetown is shopped for doing a few hobbles for cash he's sacked
It's a joke and the elite get away with it
Complete farceQuote:
