Star Wars – The Force Awakens

I must have been the only person on the planet who hadn’t seen this, so I borrowed the DVD off my mum.

No, there’s at least two of us. I’ve never seen a Star War film all the way through.

I’m not a great fan of Ken Livingstone, although I do like to listen to him on the radio on Saturday morning.
He was widely castigated for allegedly calling Hitler a Zionist, something he definately didn’t say. It made a good
headline though There WAS a Nazi-Zionist agreement and Hitler DID support it.

And what about Liverpool Football Club itself; it clearly knew that Hillsborough was a dangerous ground because it requested that the ground was changed but then, when confronted with the ultimatum by the Football Association, it decided to play anyway! It could be argued that LFC put success in a football competition before the safety of its supporters; even that it put commercial success before the safety of its supporters! Where was the ‘duty-of-care’ from Liverpool Football Club?

I am sure that many newspapers and TV news channels would like to explore these issues, but are afraid to.
Look what happened to the Sun after they published stories (true or false) given to them by the police. Implying that
many of the fans at the game behaved in a deplorable manner, before and during the unfolding tragedy.

Haven’t been there for a while, I might just make the effort.

I see it’s another advance ticket only event. I suppose it guarantees their income
no matter what the weather does ?

I find it strange that fans were absolved of all blame. However controversial as that may be.
It’s so easy to point out failings after the event.

We were at the Mother in Law’s this afternoon. I was setting up the new TV we’d bought for her birthday,
and was flicking through the channels.

Well, imagine my surprise……..Reach For The Sky was on Film4. 🙂

Well put Charlie !

I expect there was a touch of self interest in Obama’s statement.
Especially as a number of UK based companies are US owned. Also why Clinton has now
put her oar in to the debate.
