M'lud seems to be performing the reverse ferret on the subject. God be with the good old days when you could pooh-pooh the concerns of the proles and not have to face an immediate online backlash.

The last part of that article    :o
"The citizens of Bradford behaved with quiet dignity and great courage. They did not harbour conspiracy theories. They did not seek endless further inquiries," he wrote then in a letter to the Times.

"They buried their dead, comforted the bereaved and succoured the injured. They organised a sensible compensation scheme and moved on. Is there, perhaps, a lesson there for the Hillsborough campaigners?"

;D Very good.

One more thing Sir Popplewell said in that article was that the arson theory didn't make sense because the stand wasn't insured, but after the fire, Bradford City FC received 2.74 million in insurance and grants. which would be 27 million in today's money.
