I find the whole Hillsborough thing fascinating. People are very angry, but who are they actually angry at? Do they even know?
A parallel is the anger at "the banks". But again, what does this mean? Are they angry at a big office block, some of the people who work there, or the shareholders (often people like you or I, or anyone paying into a pension!) who employ the directors and demand good returns on their investment? Are they angry at the politicians who let the banking crisis and Hillsborough cover up happen, or the voters (you and I again) who were foolish enough to vote in the governments? Maybe football fans should be angry at themselves, for they put up with the small minority of hooligans for years and years, that ultimately led to police and other authorities behaving the way they did. We could have stopped this as easily as the police. And bear in mind that the police generally act in the way we want them too. At different times we demand them to be tougher, other times less so. In most things, society gets what it deserves. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
