And the weight of the law
If 96 coppers
Lay dead on the floor"

Loving this Barolo. I've googled and found the whole poem but this verse just kinda hits you between the eyes doesn't it?

I've finished the Phil Scraton book which was excellent and now keeping my eye out for any further reports on the release of the previously retained documents.

Anyway, keeping this bumped - if you haven't already signed, come on in

Hi Ms G. The poem is from a collection published to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Disaster "Hillsborough: 20 Years On it's called and only costs £5!!

I'm just coming to the end of Brian Reade's book: "43 Years With The Same Bird" - again, brilliant and chokka with Scouse wit! The chapters on Hillsborough (he was there) are very moving, powerfully and passionately written.

The funny thing about Justice.


Imagine the uproar,
And the weight of the law,
If 96 coppers,
Lay dead on the floor.

The law could not stand this,
This terrible day,
The people who caused it,
Would be locked safe away.

The blame would be total,
And the sentence so raw,
The guilty would feel the,
Long arm of the law.

The papers would say things,
Bout’ those brave lads in blue,
How did ‘they’ cause this?
I haven’t a clue.

They were 96 heroes,
And shouldn’t have died,
At least with our Justice,
We’ll avenge their sweet lives.

Justice is needed,
And justice is right,
And justice is the reason,
We won’t give up the fight.

We lost our brothers,
Our Sisters and Dad’s
And our Mother’s and Uncles,
And Friends that we had.

Yet as strange as it seems,
For that terrible day,
The justice we seeked,
Just eroded away.

We never saw Justice,
Like those brave boys in blue,
To me it seems wrong,
Does it to you?

By Mike Nicholson
