Ugh.I was aquainted with a guy who was in this. He had PTSD and he was a violent, aggresive, emotionally abusive arsehole, took a lot of £ off me too.
Great memories gave me a shudder then!
Ahem sorry. Okay, to blame, it's not going to be just one person or one dimension present(policing/governing/fans/other authorities etc). I think a lot of it is attitude. Around the time of H/borough disaster football hooliganism was the new newsworthy thing for society and a lot of the authorities would have had a one-sided way of regarding (most) fans, to the point where they had an opinion on them of not as worthy as other human beings. Those in charge of seeing to the gates and the passages being fit for the event thought more about control than about human safety.
Thatcher, sure if she hadn't have existed, it wouldn't have happened but I think Thatcherism's more or less blameless here-high fences are a good idea for many reasons.
The documentary is brilliant, I've watched it more than once but when all's said it's there for entertainment as well as enlightenment, and it's only a representation.
It's very sad though. The whole thing's very sad.
