There is an awful us film(my lowercase) which has an equally awful line. It says, you can't handle the truth.

 

i will definately buy it. i think the guys been villified. i was at hillsboro that fateful day and im sorry to say, agree with everything he says.

 

Including the bits where he admits that fans played no part whatsoever in causing the unlawful deaths and that bringing up fan behaviour is entirely irrelevant?

 

Or do you disagree with Bettison on those points?

No, I wouldn't spend any money on it - I bet it's a self serving whine from start to finish.

Why do you only show up on threads relating to Orgreave and Hillsborough?

I have answered this before and I am not sure why it is in any way relevant.

 

In any case. It is because I used to spend a great deal of time posting on many subjects, too much time actually. So now I prefer to focus on this one issue. I show up because the same types of discredited myths show up. Still, even now.

 

I hope that clears up any confusion for you.

would you buy/read this book from this man who having just watched the news it seems the book is just about him ?

 

Whats it about? A confessional bare it all apology or some fluff about justification?

[ukdobby]

It seems he's after sympathy,I wouldn't buy it,not going over the same old ground of what happened that day.

Judging by his appearance on Newsnight it would appear to be the latter.

 

 

To hear him attempting to rehabilitate his reputation on a platform of 'confirmation bias' and 'innocent until proven guilty' represents peak irony and indicates a crippling, narcissistic impediment to self-awareness.

Possibly but only if the profits from the book went to families of those who died at Hilssborough which seems doubtful. He's absolutely entitled to voice his views about his role and involvement and I'm half interested just to hear a different side but probably not enough to actually ever read it.

[Lex Luthor]

How can he still maintain that there was no cover-up, when we have all the altered witness statements, accounts of bullying of the female police officer to change her statement, etc?

 

Also, how can he publish a book on the subject that he is under investigation for in to his role and conduct before the results of the investigation have been released? Is that legal?

The publisher said profits are going to a charity. I don't think Hillsborough Families though. I suspect they would refuse on principle anyway.
