Inquests - Diana / Hillsborough

CaptainMarvel · April 15, 2008

So, the government will not allow a new inquest into the Hillsborough Disaster that claimed the lives of 96 innocent football fans, even though the original inquest did not take into account vital evidence which has been documented and recognised by respected legal professionals.

However the cost of the new inquest into the death of Princess Diana has cost at least £10m of the taxpayer's money. Why? Because Mohammed Al Fayed had ridiculous notions of conspiracy. Even though TWO previous inquests in France had failed to deliver a verdict of unlawful killing. The recent inquest presented no new evidence and sucessfully demonstrated Al Fayed was a fantasist.

Why then was this inquest permitted by the governement? Was it because Diana was a former member of the Royal Family? More likely it was because of the pressure Al Fayed forced upon the government due to his wealth, the size of his legal team and his persistent approach. Over £10m of our money spent on an inquest into the deaths of TWO people.

What this has proved is that nothing is impossible, regardless of timeframe. We have a collective voice that will not be silenced. But, money talks. We need to combine our passion with the wealth of our owners to unite in the fight for justice. If Tom Hicks, George Gillette or DIC want to show any commitment to the fans of this club this is how they have to do it. Support the cause that matters to all of us. Yes we'd all like a summer of big spending but that's easy spending. Put the money and the effort into the things that we care about most.

Justice.
