The Equalizer

I'm scared to try it incase I like it.

And that's the way it should be.

Bill Hicks, George Carlin and Doug Stanhope. In that order.

Many moons ago when the worst thing that could happen to you on a train in Glasgow was being cornered by a chatty jaikey I saw this happen to someone else. When asked if he could identify the contents to verify ownership he said "that's nane ay yer fuckin business pal and I hope fur your sake ye huvnae been rummaging through ma stuff". It clearly wasn't his bag but the guy gave it over anyway. Beautifully done.

"Hey homeless Joe I've got a surprise for ya buddy" KABOOM!

I hate all this terrorist shite man. I miss the days when you used to see a bag unattended on a bus or a train and think to yourself "I'm fucking having that".

I'm leaving for Canada next week with about 4k savings. The trend looks pretty stable but I'm concerned it won't hold. Should I pull it and take the cash or change it before I go?

AHM NO WANTIN' AN EMPIRE BISCUIT YA DAFT AULD COW!!! AHM WANTIN A SNOWBALL!!

Whenever someone tells me "Aye they'll be up there looking doon oan us aw" I make sure to put on a show when masturbating.

I beg your pardon.

Are you referring to a post I made?

With all due respect I think that's a cop out, There shouldn't be an alternative to justice and a name taking exercise to appease a salivating public is exactly what we don't need. Someone said on here the other day that as a government we are very adept at taking the sting out out of contentious issues by just delaying things. That was a great point but what's needed now is reflection, we need to resist the urge to get carried away here. A precedent has already been set that a criminal investigation has run concurrently with an inquest for the first time in British legal history.

So just hang hem high and f**k the truth now we've finally been absolved and got someone to blame? That's exactly the kind of attitude that breeds anti Liverpool sentiments in regard to this issue.

And you have faith in the very system that allowed the aforementioned corruption and intimidation to take place to justly investigate and prosecute? We have to be careful not to see this as a watershed moment. This isn't going to change the police culture or the inherent self preservation that runs through every level of government. Nor will it make everyone in fleet street wake up tomorrow with a conscience. What it will do if we are not very careful is create a lot of scapegoats very very quickly.

Where do you draw the line though? This is a 27 year witch hunt that has just been ratified. The recriminations can't be rushed or we could be looking at more injustice.

Did he drop the r from his name?

On the contrary, I reckon a few will be flayed to satisfy the baying mob. The way this is gathering pace every journalist in the metropolitan area will suddenly be working for the Liverpool Echo.

There is a remarkable amount of hair splitting going on in this thread. You can go all the way back to the F.A for holding the game at a ground without a valid safety certificate, even further if you were so inclined. Did the actions of the fans on the day make an already bad situation worse? Probably. It may have been mass panic or just general mob cuntishness but the fact remains that there was a cover up at every fucking level of society to collectively lie to the entire nation and sully the names of 96 dead football fans. Some of them children. Aren't we missing the bigger picture here?

Is anyone watching the SSN coverage? Kenny Dalglish reading footprints and Andy Burnham fobbing into his wanking sock while playing to the gallery? Jesus wept.

It's important not to lose sight of this, the biggest crime is not the negligence on the day, it's the subsequent cover up. Those who altered statements and evidence after the incident should face criminal proceedings.

Some cringe worthy coverage on talksport at the moment. Reading out the names in somber voices with YNWA playing in the background.
