Phil is quite simply a Wonderful human being.
Give him a statue outside Anfield.
you probably dont care but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Kyson Hunter Instablaster ;)
@Wallace Nehemiah Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Wallace Nehemiah it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
A truly inspirational individual!
This guy is the true authority on Hillsborough. Thank god there were people like him to get to the bottom of the cover up that was Hillsborough. I have read his book The Truth which is also brilliant. Please read it.
This man is one of the reasons I still hold some hope of pride in my country, he is what the ordinary people of this country are capable of against the awful power and lies of the state. Phil, alongside the incredible dignity of the Hillsborough families moves me to tears.
Lots of guys I would love to have a couple of pints with, but he would be right at the top of the list.
Russell Watson I would put him at the top of the list of my dinner party guests
He would be the guest of honour
Fantastic lecture. Any serious student of rhetoric and narrative-building should join the Scraton Fan Club immediately.
An utterly brilliant man is Professor Phil Scraton.
Thanks to QUB Research & Enterprise Directorate for providing the video from the event.
Had the privilege and honour of meeting Phil twice in Belfast, true gentleman and an inspirational human being. One reason why I want to work in Human Rights in the legal profession, legend !
If i'm hard on myself, I think I have too many 'heroes'. People who made great music, scored great goals, made a funny film, scored hundreds of runs etc. I need to trim the hero herd a bit. This man is staying in. I could sit and listen to him for hours on end. I read his book every year (making a point of starting it on 15 April) and if justice is ever finally done one day, then an overwhelming amount of credit should be directed his way. If I thought for one second he would accept it, he should indeed receive a long overdue knighthood.
Pete Dunsford he was offered an OBE and he told them where to shove it. Just shows the measure of the man. I’m totally in agreement with you on that hero bit. Professor scraton deserves all our thanks.
Amazing man, and suffered death threats to his own family to fight for the Hillsborough families, but he wasn't deterred
They should make a movie about this wonderful and great proffesor Phill Scraton and his invesitgative journey in the tragedy of Hillsborough.
His combined intelligence and humanity make Professor Phil the greatest role model anyone could ever choose to have.
Phil Scraton = legend JFT96
Who is the heartless, uneducated stain on society who disliked this video. The man's a legend. I don't have your words Phil, but thank you YNWA JFT96
Stephen bubba b well said
it must be mckenzies shit stain followers JFT96
Very sad and compelling story. Some high profile legal battles are so grueling. Glad there are some committed and capable of illuminating the events thoughtfully.
A powerful and moving lecture.
Legend !!
Duckenfield is an animal and a person with no compassion. Jail him for life. Coward. Phil Scraton is a legend. All the cowards who lied about Hillsborough should be jailed for life.
David Mackeown Unfortunately he was found not guilty of gross negligence manslaughter, it seems he will evade justice. A very sad day for the families and survivors.
Tad dramatic? No prison time for anyone. What made you think anyone would be "jailed for life" for gross negligence?
The tragedy is that so many innocent people died on that day. The scandal is the sustained institutional cover up that went on for so long after it. The fact that the lies were developed and continually sustained makes me extremely angry. The fact that it was done by police, media et al is just unbelievable. The courts should be chasing more than Duckenfield...
They all knew. They all knew it was a pack of lies. Recent this morning program shows a survivor re united with the 16 year old lad who saved him. The man who saves him says it best, I wasn't a hero it's just what you do, there where 100s of hero's, and then he corrects his statement and says pretty much it's a shame all the hero's where Liverpool fans trying frantically to help each other and not the authorities that where meant to protect us
Stephen bubba b spot on. The Liverpool fans that day were all heroes, some of them ignoring their own injuries to help others less fortunate. Doing it in the face of obstruction from the police ( well most of them. There were a few who ignored the crap being fed to them by the higher up idiots and pitched in to help.) If it wasn’t for those heroes, I hate to think how many more people could have died.
What the Police did was so unbelievable, they tried to prove a lie.
I don’t think Taylor knew when the interim report was published but by the time the definitive report was published he knew. About statements being altered that is.
bless u m8
Wow
Have those 6 officers been arrested (sacked) for tampering with evidence. Perverting the course of justice at least ???
Duckenfield second trial is scheduled to start on 7 October 2019 at Preston Crown Court.
Maggies ' power ' salute there .
Celebrity and money from reporting other people's stories. Like Heysel he wasn't at Hillsborough, didn't go the game. Yet he is an expert. Its like suggesting a historian is more knowledgeable about a battle than a soldier who was involved fighting in it.
Am I reading this correctly? Are you trying to imply the Phil Scraton, who was as integral as anyone or any institution in uncovering the truth behind Hillsborough, is doing so for fame and fortune? Do you know he refused an OBE for exactly that. He is a man of great honour and integrity. Your comment is actually very distasteful especially when you consider the subject matter that this man has dedicated much of his academic life to.
What a disturbing and inaccurate comment. He has got all his information from speaking to people who were there and the official documents. Did you even watch it?
@@Kazbing11did you watch it? Or just a few seconds then make a a quick evaluation of what you want to believe?
@@jennydunn9014 of course I watched it? Your comment doesn’t even make sense in relation to what I said? Did you mean to reply to me?
