how about you saying what you think and me saying what I think, far easier, instead of veiled threats.

to suggest that the families have taken this fight on for 23 years for monetary compensation is just twisted
I suppose in your sick head something like that may be a possibility but that really says more about you. The dignity and courage which the likes of Trevor Hicks has shown has been a lesson to us all

regardless of the opinion and the rights & wrongs, people died; personally i think a bit of respect is called for and this thread is a disgrace

Read the report, you had 'relatives' making claims for compensation for trauma when they weren't even at the ground.

And the Law Society in the report you quoted is supporting a change in the law to allow that. For cases of genuine mental trauma, not just upset.
Because the law was too restrictive.

The only person calling any claim 'spurious' in this thread is you.

Are you a high court judge? I suspect not.

Read the report, you had 'relatives' making claims for compensation for trauma when they weren't even at the ground.

Why did they need to be at the ground ? I was at Hillsborough in The Leppings Lane end. My family & friends found it very traumatic not knowing what happened to me. I was one of the lucky ones. Imagine how traumatised my loved ones would have been had they found out I'd died.

Your putting together a really strange argument.

Your putting together a really strange argument.

I'd find it pretty strange had someone launched a claim like that on the back of me dying, I guess you must have a different idea of 'strange' to that of the rest of humanity.

Redrebel, he's a fcking troll, I'm sorry I even wasted my time with him.

OP is correct. Everybody who was around then knows it could have happened to any of us.
And how the police lied through their teeth consistently.

Do you believe that the families are actually entitled to compensation or are you saying they aren't

Or are you arguing that no compensation should be paid in any circumstance where there has been unlawful killing

FFS captain christy, if you had a family member who was unlawfully killed wouldnt you be seeking some sort of justice..

compensation being part of that...on another note i just heard on the radio k. dalgleish attended every victims funeral.!!

remarkable man imo.

captain christy, what is your opinion about police on duty that day that recieved compensation for the trauma they endured?

brngtwt, they should give the money back.

What a load of drivel and fairy story that is about me as well, christ you have a vivid imagination fuelled by the chip on your shoulder no doubt.


Its clear in this thread who the people with chips on their shoulders are.

Compensation?
Over a dozen police officers involved received payments totalling nearly 2million after the event for stress.
From the very same police force who have now been found to be part of one of the largest police cover ups in this country, with over 160 statements falsified to get themselves off the hook

When Trevor Hicks talks about bringing people responsible to court, he is not in any shape or form talking about financial compensation, he is talking about LEGAL JUSTICE and ACCOUNTABILITY - there is a difference.
Its about seeing those responsible, held accountable and punished - yes punished, doctoring evidence is illegal, if you or I did it we'd face consequences. There are people who should be jailed over it, given the extent, as that is what would happen to none police officers.


Will some families then seek financial compensation down the line, I, like you, have absolutely no idea, perhaps some will and they would be entirely justified in doing so (especially given the FA, and its lack of safety certificate) the same way police did, but to suggest it has been any kind of motivating factor in the past 23 years when time after time the HJC has turned down large cash offers from the Sun for example, is ridiculous.

You are either judging others by your own low standards or you are trolling.

Or maybe you just dont understand, and from this post I think that is the case -
Captain Christy
Trevor Hicks, the chairman of the HSFG, said that the group would pursue legal action against those involved at South Yorkshire Police and elsewhere if the state does not.
Hicks, who lost two daughters at Hillsborough, told BBC's Newsnight programme: "If I come back to David Cameron's statement [to MPs], he said quite categorically that the state had let us down.
"So we will give the state the opportunity to put that right.
"But if it looks as though they're not going to do that, then we will do as we've done before and we'll take it out of their hands."

You think this is evidence of seeking financial compensation ?
Sorry, wrong.
Pursuing Legal action does not mean pursuing compensation.

Hopefully I have cleared that up for you.

Pootle, spot on.

Why are people still arguing with this clown?

It began with quite salient if provocative stuff and then sank to something bordering prejudice. Written by someone inordinately pre-occupied with money himself.

captain

you are so wrong its off the scale. the reason they covered it up is so they didnt end up in prison or sacked or dxisgraced

Oh right then, so it is ok if they are now sent to prison, sacked or disgraced?

the first duty of goverment is the protection of it's citizens, via the police the goverment failed in that duty so I say own up and cough up.

and that's it, no subsequent pursuit of compensation will follow?

do you think they are entitled to compensation?
