I have decided to discuss the article in The Sun newspaper regarding the Hillsborough disaster. A truly sickening article in which the author tells the "truth" about Liverpool football supported stealing and acting absurdly during the disaster. A common stereotype of the people of liverpool is "Scousers" and they are sometimes classed as theives. unfortunately this stereotype was pasted all over the cover, insisting that the fans were "stealing" from the dead. This is a disgusting accusation that still sticks with liverpool fans to this days with a huge "Justice for the 96" campaign and a citywide attempt to boycott the sale of the sun newspaper in liverpool.
The language in the article is so derogative and insulting the fact someone could write such hurtful things after a disaster that saw 96 innocent fans lose their lives that day.
The newspaper attempted to cause some kind of social unrest and trying to disband the city of liverpool with the rest of the nation, and to non liverpudlian readers, they probably related to the stereotype and caused readers to believe the outrageous lies they were being fed.
If anyone had any sense they would choose the believe that this is far from the truth and is a massive fabrication of a stereotype,used in a sickening manor.
