Entertainment For Lively Minds
A serious request
I hope it's okay to publish this link.
Anne Williams is the mother of a fifteen year old boy who died at Hillsborough in 1989. She has spent the intervening years trying to get a fair inquest for her son. The original inquest for the 96 victims gave a cut off point of 3.15pm after which time it was wrongly stated that all victims had passed away.
At 4pm Kevin Williams asked for his mother. He could have been saved at any point in the 45 minutes that are not being covered by any inquest.
The full details are in the attached article along with the link to the governement's e-petition.
Anne needs 100,000 signatures. She's currently a long way from this and this could well be her only chance to get the justice she deserves.
This comes from a Liverpool blog but isn't about football loyalties. This is about a mother who deserves to know the truth about what happened to her son.
Please take a few minutes to read this, if you agree with the need for a new inquest sign the petition and pass on to anybody that you feel would want to support this.
Thanks
Ian

This is a seriously worthy cause.
Good luck.
I wish
I had spotted this earlier as I would have sent the link to a Saturday morning BBC Radio Scotland football programme (Stuart Cosgrove/Tam Cowan). I am sure they would have given it a mention. Anyway, I've set my own little pyramid going. There's 27,400 as I write. I have a plan to send it to another RS football programme tomorrow night. Here's hoping. She deserves her day in court.

Will pass it on
Done it
Even as a Manchester United fan from Liverpool (it's a long story) who hates Liverpool (the club) due to the rivalry, their success in the 70's and 80's, and me coming from Liverpool and having to put up with loads of crap during those decades. Some things are more important than that. I hope she (and all involved in the Hillsborough campaigns) get justice, as it could so easily have been the fans of any other club at the time.
Plus, we are talking about lives and justice, not just a game (no matter how important it is).
Woohoo! she did it!
I just checked the count and it shows 111,000 and it's still the 19th. Great to know we did our little bit.
That's great news :-D
Now let's hope she gets the answers she deserves.
What Paolo said
Power of that there internet thingy
I've watched it get repeated play on some of the Twitter feeds I follow.
A real mix of 'ordinary' people tweeting for it, as well as Alastair Campbell and John Prescott.
And well done Ian S
for bringing this to our attention.
