Just went looking for Billy Bragg's 'Never Buy The Sun', and was pleasantly surprised to see the top comment under it.
John Green is based as fuck, as I believe the kids would say.

An artist - Graham Short - who specialises in creating tiny works has etched the names of the 97 victims of the Hillsborough disaster on to a silver football boot stud. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-65929685 #JFT97
The fella who wore the offensive shirt at Wembley yesterday is a Britain First member. That's him in the Independent article photo, dead centre, wearing blue.

RT @Alison_McGovern: Thinking today - as always - of family, friends, and loved ones who grieve. And 97 people whose lives will never be forgotten.
For all of them, we will not give up the fight to change the law so that in our country, justice can be done.

This day in 1989, 97 people unlawfully killed at Hillsborough due to gross negligence by South Yorkshire police;
Families then fought for decades against vile police lies that blamed the victims themselves for the disaster.
In 2016, they won.

That awful afternoon 34 years ago at Hillsborough stadium and for some, all the years that follow - all remembered today #YNWA #JFT97 #HillsboroughLawNow

On this day in 1989, ninety seven people went to a football match and never went home. We will never forget them.

Absolutely impeccable minute's silence at Goodison. But for a trick of the draw, it could have been our fans that day. Instead, it was friends and neighbours. Never forget, never forgive those who perpetuated the conspiracy. #Everton #EVEFUL #JFT97 #MastodonFC

And now I work with the police.
34 years on, I’m working alongside an organisation I truly hated with an absolute passion.
I ultimately came to the realisation through working with them, that they’re people. Individuals who put on a uniform. These people, my colleagues, are not to blame for the injustice of #Hillsborough, it wasn’t them.
It was him, and his colleagues. #Duckenfield and his cronies. Not the ones I work alongside today, most of whom weren’t even born in 89.

That lie, even though he retracted it soon after, was the first version of events that went in front of the public.
That is when the blame was first laid at the feet of us, the fans. Or as he would have you believe - drunken ticketless louts.
I wasn’t drunk or a lout and I still have my ticket from #Hillsborough, with the stub still attached. I went through that exit gate that HE had ordered be opened.
I was a terrified, bewildered 18yo whose life changed forever that day in 1989.
It’s him, you know. Duckenfield. The reason I still get upset, the reason I still carry so much anger, it’s because of him.
He gave the order to open the gate* and didn’t close the tunnel, and people died as a result.
THAT is fact. He even admitted it at the inquests. It’s gross negligence manslaughter to a criminal standard and yet he’s never been held accountable.
And that’s why there’ll never be #JFT97.
*and then immediately lied about it when asked saying it had been forced by fans
It is 34 years after Hillsborough today
Nothing less than the removal from public life of people involved in protecting those who covered it up will do. This includes figures in politics, police, and media.
