AntM Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) Title is incorrect - it's from The Telegraph... The idea of someone using Hillsborough to score a party political point makes me feel a bit queasy... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics...h-disaster.html Edited September 30, 2009 by AntM
Sion Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) Why are they denying it though? It's spot on. Who is it gonna upset? s*n readers? f*** them, they're clearly a lost cause anyway Edited September 30, 2009 by Sion
sutty Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I'm not sure whether I will change my newspaper buying policy off the back of this.

AntM Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 I'm not sure whether I will change my newspaper buying policy off the back of this.nor mine, but it's the whiff of political opportunism that's depressing me...
sutty Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 nor mine, but it's the whiff of political opportunism that's depressing me... Agree Though the statement is right and as everybody knows that no genuine liverpool fan can be a tory, it still doesn't sit right.
Sion Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 The families and friends of those who lost their lives might object to it being used for political purposes. i seem to have missed the 'wrong about labour part'. yeah agree that's in questionable taste.
surf Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 personally if it means less people read the sun i'm all for it.
Murphman Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Agree Though the statement is right and as everybody knows that no genuine liverpool fan can be a tory, it still doesn't sit right. F*ck off. again.
Cunny Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 f***ing Labour using Hillsborough when it suits them. t***s.
John am Rhein Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 no genuine liverpool fan can be a tory truest statement ever
Billy Dane Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 As distasteful as it might be, I think it helps embed the truth that the s*n lied over Hillsborough.
Murphman Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 truest statement ever You are a c*nt. That one wins actually.
Mr. Biscan Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 As distasteful as it might be, I think it helps embed the truth that the s*n lied over Hillsborough. That is how I see it, but then they've only used it for political gains. Bah I'm torn
John am Rhein Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 You are a c*nt. That one wins actually. No, you got that wrong. Tories are pure scum and scum can't be proper Liverpool fans.
fyds Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 It says in that article that the S*n apologized in 2004 for its Hillsborough coverage. must have blinked and missed that. Murph - Margaret Thatcher, Bernard Ingham, Kelvin MacKenzie, Boris Johnson, Norman Tebbit - all hate football fans, all hate Liverpool, all are Tories. am Rhein hat rechts!

That's right FYDS, name a handful of undesirables who don't like football to prove your point that to support your team you have to agree with the majority politically.Bolllocks. And for the record, Boris Johnson LOVES football, You'd never see Gordon Brown taking a hun centre forward out at the waist, that'll be the England supporting Jock Gordon Brown who claimed he was happy England won the World Cup BTW.

Duncan Disorderly Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 that'll be the England supporting Jock Gordon Brown who claimed he was happy England won the World Cup BTW.That's just baby-kissing, popularism. What depresses me even more is that that f*ckin "newspaper" has a daily readership of over 3 million!
richwilks Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 I love how some people on here believe Liverpool fans have to be particular people. I don't give a f*** about politics but for some to claim you can only be a 'proper' if you back labour is a complete b******s of a statement. A complete generalisation that everyone who supports a club has to fall within the category they feel is correct. Some would say to be a proper fan you have to have black curly hair, a moustache and wear a shellsuit. That's as much b******s as the Tory stuff. You can be what the f*** you want and support this great club, just because others differ from you doesn't mean you are right.

John L should support Swansea anyway, full of left wing Welsh miners, he has no 'right' to support Liverpool.

Depressing is right. how thick do you have to be to read that f*cking rag, notwithsatnding it's venom and lies. Three million thick barstards who take their views from The s*n. We're doomed.
Knox_Harrington Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 I don't give a f*** about politics but for some to claim you can only be a 'proper' if you back labour is a complete b******s of a statement.Agree that backing Labour isn't relevant, but if you give a f*** about the city of Liverpool, which you should do if you support the club, then you should acknowledge the distant, soulless, empathy-less damage done to the city (along with other working class areas) by the Thatcher Government and from there you should, at the very least, remain genuinely sceptical about the Tory Party.
Gomez Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 That's just baby-kissing, popularism. What depresses me even more is that that f*ckin "newspaper" has a daily readership of over 3 million! What I don't understand is why supposedly intelligent people have got this so ar$e about face, the fact that the s*n is supporting the tories in the election does not mean that they are more likely to win, it is the fact that the tories are likely to win the next election that have led the s*n to side with them. Isn't that obvious? It's like saying Ladbrokes are supporting a certain team when they make them favourites.
