- On Wednesday 22 March 2017, Professor Phil Scraton, the man who led the Hillsborough Independent Panel’s research team, delivered a free public lecture at Swansea University, discussing the lengthy investigation into the 1989 disaster in which 96 people were crushed at Hillsborough stadium during the FA Cup Semi-Final.
During the lecture, Professor Scraton reflected on the long-term campaign for truth; detailing the findings, analysing the new inquests, their outcome, the work of the Independent Police Complaints Commission, and the case for prosecutions.
Phil Scraton is a hero, and a damn fine human being.
a man who kept the hopes up of all the poor families who suffered due to this huge cover up.i shake your hand sir
96 died but hundreds of thousands would suffer and be smeared. Few of the people that were there would ever be the same again.
Phil Scraton, great man.
You are always in our Hearts, our Thoughts and our Prayers. From everyone at Glasgow Rangers FC.
"The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing". Thank you Mr Scraton, a warrior and hero.
i know someone who lost there father at hilsborough it people like this man and the hillsborough families that never gave up fighting finaly we have some sort of jsutice thnaks to this man and others involved in fighting for the truth JUSTICE FOR THE 97 THANK YOU MR SCRATTON
Such a great man.
Least this guy isn't a coward and truthfully says what happened unlike those pricks that were in power etc.
Glad I listened to him as I learned more and shed more tears. He and all the families are my hero's. The 96 got Justice. Now those charged will take responsibility, as well for those who are yet to be charged.
What a horrific incident. The cover up was horrible. Thank you for your work on this case. I'm glad there was finally justice.
‘The lost decade’, the professor said. Incredible
Phil Scraton! What a Guy!
The most articulate intelligent man of the people of all time. Never tire of listening to him. Glad he turned downed the Sir Fuckwittage..'. he's too brilliant to be a part of that. Cheers for everything Phil #JFT96
Absolutely!
thank you for sharing - impressive man in a tragedy which affected so many people and still does. from Germany with sadness but joy over that outcome
The more I hear the story, the angrier I get. Justice for the 97.
Professor scraton didn’t mention the disgusting ‘joke’ that was made by Stuart smith. He said something along the lines of “ its not like the Liverpool fans to be late is it “ or something similar. I’m surprised that the families and other representatives didn’t turn around and walk out of the building. Just another example of the dignity with which they conducted themselves.
What an absolute disgrace!
As always, you continue to educate me on Hillsborough.
Best wishes, Mr Kipling! X
@@paigeleigh2554 no problem glad I can help!! Yes he said that. The families must have known at that point that they were wasting their time, thinking that Stuart-Smith would be sympathetic to their plight and do his job fairly and accurately.
@@mrkipling2201 , have a great week and I hope that we meet again. X
This man should recieve a knighthood his parsistance his honesty he went over and beyond to help the familys of Hillsborough
He was offered an honour but turned it down.
Keep up the fight
Never forgotten 96 🇲🇹
This got to the lengths of injustice because the fans were poor people. If such an accident had occurred at an elite event, with the wealthy sons and daughters crushed. The repudiation would be swift and brutal. The leaders of the police force were believed without question as holders of authority and as there was a minority element of drunken violence in football throughout the 80s, it was a convenient scapegoat.
Yet still the systematic lengths they went to, to redact, alter and modify hundreds of eye witness and police accounts and those of the ambulance service to conclusively eradicate any shred of evidence of a failure of governance.
Then coupled with the worlds press and politians in unison, and the utter disparity in legal aid between the state bodies and the families, its almost inconceivable how the truth ever rose to the top except thanks to the tireless dedication of the families, earnest seekers of the truth like Prof Scraton and those who kept faith.
Thanks for sharing
The Sun is Scum!!!
scousers are
@Lexine Bate always the victims-its never your fault
@@MarkSmith-er7feno the only thing scummy here is you rat boy you are pathetic
@@MarkSmith-er7feDid you listen to the video? Or just so thick information can’t penetrate your one brain cell?
Only partial justice has been done. And that was after the Hillsborough independent panel report in 2012 which exonerated the Liverpool supporters of any blame concerning the day of the disaster & that The South Yorkshire Police were to blame as were Sheffield Wednesday FC who never renued the safety licence after the 81 semi final where Tottenham fans were crushed And injured.
And also the verdict that overturned the deaths as accident to unlawful killing as of 2021 to 97 people (Andrew Devine died after being on life support for over 30 years in July 2021) becoming the 97th victim.
But still knowbody has ever been charged and help accountable for there actions on the day Super Intendant Duckenfield. Bernard Murray. SWFC club safety officer Mackrell. The list goes on. Oh and the sanitization of Police statements on what they did on the day. Many of the normal PC's were forced to change there statements of what they did that day or it was done without there knowledge and a lot of normal Bobbies did help on that day and suffered PTSD just like the Fans.
Right from the start of the story of Liverpool fans breaking down Gate C when it was Duckenfield who ordered it to be opened was the beginning of the lie. And story's of drunken tickitless fans arriving at the ground late. Also the media reaction from the Camera men turning there cameras around from photographing the game to taking pictures of dead & dying people crushed up against the perimeter fences ignoring there cries & screams for help ,watching while people's faces turned white and lips And nostrils turned blue.
And also in particularly The Sun Newspapers front page headlines about Liverpool fans pocketing the dead ,and assaulting Police officers and urinating on officers trying to help .An absolutely abhorrent and downright lies to smear the fans reputation and to sway public opinions on what they called " The Truth"
What the Liverpool fans ,victims & family's got was only that the deaths were unlawful killings and that they were not to blame. This as well as being the longest running legal case in British history is also the BIGGEST cover up and injustice of the highest order. Superintendent Duckenfield should have gone to prison for this as quite a few other high ranking officers should of too. Duckenfield just escaped in the Private prosecution when the jury was hung (that's a 50/50 guilty/not guilty decision made by the dury) and has again I think in 2019 got off again.
Please read the Hillsborough Independent Panel Report. It's available online to the public.
I am not a Liverpool fan I support Carlisle United. And was 11 years old when the Hillsborough Disaster happened. It was my first year of watching Football and at the time being so young you know it's bad but are too young to understand it. And have your childhood to live. But ever since the 20th anniversary I've taken a real interest and watched just about ever documentary ,footage available. And also read Phil Scratons book "The Truth" and read the entire Independent Panel Report.
As well as the survivors story's on the Hillsborough Disaster website that are more horrific than this video and harrowing to read.
Without the shear determination of Professor Phil Scraton & later culture Secretary Andy Burnham (On the 20th anniversary) when Liverpool fans erupted into "Justice For tge 96" I doubt we would have had the Hillsborough Independent Panel..so huge respect to both men who fraught for the victims & family's justice.
A lot of comments on this video like others are bigated , ignorant or darn right offensive. So before posting your comments do some proper research. And post something of value out of respect for the 97 dead. The victims family's who have fought tirelessly for justice. And those people who have died because of suicide or early deaths due to stress as there are many attributed to the worst sporting disaster in the UK and the BIGGEST misscarage of justice or injustice not only in England but in the entire world in sporting terms.
It has nothing realy to do with Football anymore as times have changed and Hillsborough legacy is that we got safe all seated stadiums for the top two Leagues in English Football.
But its about human lives ,normal , honest & hard working people who have loved ,lost ,suffered and fought tirelessly for JUSTICE For the 97.
Marvellous!
This man deserves a Knighthood.... ;-)
He was offered an O.B.E he refused it and said he didnt want to recieve an award for doing his job. The blokes a hero as far as im concerned 26 years to get to the truth and he stuck with it the whole way
@@mrsdiana324 I was joking when I said it mate. Tongue in cheek .
I’m glad he told the establishment to do one when they offered him an OBE. An absolute hero. This guy has done so much to dispel the myths and lies about hillsborough and was instrumental in getting that joke verdict of accidental death overturned.
I once knocked a lady over running for a bus I was anxious not to miss,
(thankfully she was ok,but I seriously unimpressed her!)
Like me,football and other fans can cause problems they don't intend.
They need kindly but firmly guiding.
This didn't happen enough at Hillsborough that day.
Does anybody else wish he had a computer model of the layout ? I sure do . I sure don't want to
Sorry that last bit was outomated. 🤯
I'm Candian watching this what is Scouse ,?
