Good for him

Nah, he was a member of the Las, scouse band, hes from Merseyside and John Power's doing it.

Didn't realize it was a John Powers project.

Make a lot of sense then.

Good for him I say aswell. Paul McCartney's getting involved aswell and for a great cause, hopefully raises the prospects of prosecutions quite soon, and more food for thought for the elitist institutions that failed the victims and their families in such a sinister and disgraceful manner. It proved the massive failings of our democracy.

Hopefully gets it to the Christmas number one, although I wouldn't bet against it with such an ignorant and stupid society (whichwas susceptible to all the lies that were made by the police, The Sun and Thatcher government) that would rather fill the pockets of some arsehole like Simon Cowell rather than giving to a charity.

Point taken tomlivesforever, my statement is a sweeping generalisation and it sounds as if I'm a (understandably) emotional Liverpool fan. I don't support the club but many friends of mine do and they told me the whole story, I read up on it and it was all pretty much dead on what actually happened - only when it was revealed in September the extent of such injustice was actually worse than any Liverpool fan thought. And everyone who doubted the 'whinging scousers' who should 'just get over it' suddenly thought 'shit, they had a point after all'.

The thing that most frustrated me though was the ignorant folk who would say 'yes, the police and government etc. were at fault BUT Liverpool fans have to share a portion of the blame etc etc.' and going on by saying some were abusive towards their fellow Reds and obstructing the medical services, etc etc. Now if people had read up on it, they would have found that this was bollocks. It was particularly insulting and offensive because it was taking away the dignity of those fans involved in the tragedy and their families, aswell as those Red fans who were psychologically scarred by the incident. Talk about kicking them when they're down.


The worrying thing was that those institutions that were meant to protect them - the police, the government, Sheffield local council, etc - manipulated the story so well that people over 23 years were inclined to believe some of it. If it weren't for the Thatcher government happy to side with their mates at the Police Federation (by the way, where's the apology from that old cow?), and The Sun running bullshit stories, then people would never have questioned the Liverpool fans.

Quite rightly branded a national disgrace when it was finally unveiled, it showed this country's massive shortcomings and failings. So much for democracy I say. I for one hope all the bereaved families can put their minds to rest with the next stage, which will be prosecutions.

Its probably because he's a relatively successful Scouse (ish) drummer rather than because of who he knows or has worked with.

Don't think anybody is acting like its a bad thing. Not being funny but are you totally aware of the significance of Hillsborough?

He's from the North. And I suggest you read up on Hillsborough, then you'll know why those musicians are doing it.

I think Guy Chambers has produced it? That might be why Robbie Williams is involved?

Nice to see Chris involved. It's for a great charity.

RIP 96 - YNWA.

Shame all those scumbags looking to extend their 15 minutes have latched on. Seriously, is anyone going to buy this because Beverley Knight and Paloma Faith are involved?
