Quote christopher="christopher"I have never said thih, but we are talking about a football related incident, and as such football related violence and hooligans are more prevalent to the discussion. It wasn't RU hooligans that had recently been convicted of killing opposition fans and subsequently got teams banned from competitions and made it so fences had to be erected at stadiums.'"
Indeed.
My – attempted – point is that there had been, for some years, a demonisation of a particular type of hooligan, as though there were only one, and that that contributed to what happened at Hillsborough.
Which rather takes us back to class, to government needs for a group to demonise/scapegoat (and try their ID cards on) etc and so forth.
