Life is indeed “risky” but I would suggest that people should be able to go to a football match without the risk of being crushed to death. We all take risks in all that we do but there are some things that should be inherently less risky than others. I would suggest that standing on a terrace to watch a football match would one of those things.
As former attendee at many large football matches in the 1980s and been in some fairly scary crushes, I can’t help thinking that there but for the Grace of God go I.

We decided to help with their “regime change” so we have an obligation to help sort out the mess we were partly responsible for.
I can understand the sentiment of wanting to leave them to it, especially after events like this, but we are a part of the problem/solution whether we like it or not.

Why should they let it rest? 96 people died because of other’s incompetence. Why would those guilty of such negligence on such a large scale be allowed to get away with it?
I have to say that CMD’s apology was one today’s more surprising events.

It’s a short story. Censorship, censorship, unjustifiable censorship.

Indeed????

I think use of the quote function may have been helpful here.

I was listening to excerpts on Radio 4 on the way home and it was incredible the depths the police plummeted to in order to discredit those who died. The ground itself was not fit for purpose, police falsifying statements, mismanagement of emergency services. A catalogue of incompetence and negligence.
Let’s hope the guilty get what they deserve.

Any significance, I wonder, in the fact that Arthur Pewty called it a day at exactly 1000 posts? Hope there’s not some obscure rule that Monty Python characters have to stop at that point? 😮

Well, we’ll have to wait and see won’t we. Just as well I didn’t pick Biggus Dckus or Silius Soddus as my username then.

I guess any exercise needs some sort of “scenario”. That one would be as good as any.
Bear in mind at this time, hijacked airliners being used as bombs were not the threat anyway.

Is this the documentary that was first shown last year?

Thread 52, from what you say,I recon you have just shot yourself in the foot, Nowt wrong with the “Carry on” films, they were lighthearted comedy films. It’s like music, once upon a time, long, long time ago, I was quite “With it” I just cannot stand now, todays modern so called music, and tend to vere towards light classicle, and Andre Reiu, But thats my choice as yours is yours.I can’t see the need for anyone to throw their toys out of their prams, over such a subject as jokes.

Just as a matter of interest, what sort of jokes, rock your boat?.and splits your sides laughing?.

I like the Goons (although a bit before my time) Python, Spike Milligan , Billy Connolly, Ben Elton, Eddie Izzard, Ken Dodd, Tim Vine, Ross Noble, Dara O’Briain, Lee Mack and lots more.
TV series; The Young Ones, Dad’s army, Bottom, The Thin Blue Line, Blackadder, Father Ted, The Thick of it. Alan Partridge.
I enjoyed new things like Veep, Charlie Brooker’s A Touch of Cloth, Bad Education, Outnumbered, Not Going Out – all sorts really.

Things like Love Thy Neighbour and Mind Your Language leave me cold and slightly embarrassed. Alf Garnett was a parody, a well done parody, of the bigoted types that existed at time, and still do. Let’s face it, the Carry On films were pretty poor stuff really.
