[quote=Shaggydog][quote=Stanley Park]Just read the original article in the mail totally misrepresented. After heysel some of the cabinet wanted to close down professional football. I repeat that close down professional football altogether thatcher stopped that. There was also a call for compulsory identity cards for all fans against which she resisted. There was nothing about hillsborough I saw unless its a different article somewhere.
I agree with the article there should have been a minutes silence this is one of our greatest ever states person whoever you think of them up there with Churchill. [/
It would but that is no reason not to have it. The issue is for those who would boo and shout through a minutes silence. I can only speak for myself there are never any circumstances I would do that. But that's my values.
I think its absolutely ludicrous to suggest that people should remain silent in honour of a woman who destroyed their lives and the lives of them closest to them. And if people arent going to stay silent then there is no point in having the silence as it would be completely pointless.
