  1. Because the Chief Constable removed his experienced local commanding officer and put Duckenfield, who had no local knowledge and had never managed a football match at Hillsborough, in charge. "Duckenfield admitted he had not familiarised himself in any detail with the ground’s layout or capacities of its different sections. He did not know the seven turnstiles, through which 10,100 Liverpool supporters with standing tickets had to be funnelled to gain access to the Leppings Lane terrace, opened opposite a large tunnel leading straight to the central pens, three and four. He did not even know that the police were responsible for monitoring overcrowding, nor that the police had a tactic, named after a superintendent, John Freeman, of closing the tunnel when the central pens were full, and directing supporters to the sides. He admitted his focus before the match had been on dealing with misbehaviour, and he had not considered the need to protect people from overcrowding or crushing." http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/apr/26/hillsborough-disaster-deadly-mistakes-and-lies-that-lasted-decades
  2. United could afford to sub him.
  3. Is it possible that you could explain that to Teresa May ?
  4. Here's one theory: "In the case of warming, the lag between temperature and CO2 is explained as follows: as ocean temperatures rise, oceans release CO2 into the atmosphere. In turn, this release amplifies the warming trend, leading to yet more CO2 being released. In other words, increasing CO2 levels become both the cause and effect of further warming. This positive feedback is necessary to trigger the shifts between glacials and interglacials as the effect of orbital changes is too weak to cause such variation. Additional positive feedbacks which play an important role in this process include other greenhouse gases, and changes in ice sheet cover and vegetation patterns." http://www.skepticalscience.com/co2-lags-temperature.htm
  5. Hillsborough inquests: Fans unlawfully killed, jury concludes The jury found match commander Ch Supt David Duckenfield was "responsible for manslaughter by gross negligence" due to a breach of his duty of care. The jury also concluded; Police errors caused a dangerous situation at the turnstiles Failures by commanding officers caused a crush on the terraces There were mistakes in the police control box over the order to open the Leppings Lane end exit gates Defects at the stadium contributed to the disaster There was an error in the safety certification of the Hillsborough stadium South Yorkshire Police (SYP) and South Yorkshire Ambulance Service delayed declaring a major incident The emergency response was therefore delayed Sheffield Wednesday failed to approve the plans for dedicated turnstiles for each pen There was inadequate signage at the club and misleading information on match tickets Club officials should have requested a delay in kick off as they were aware of a huge number of fans outside shortly before the game was due to start http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36138337

  18. And the Telegraph printed an apology about the original story ; [h=2]Margaret Hodge MP - Contrary to our report “Hodge faces challenge over family firm’s taxes” (Nov 20), Stemcor, in which Ms Hodge has a small shareholding, has not abused transfer pricing to avoid tax. We accept that there is no inconsistency or hypocrisy in Ms Hodge criticising other companies for tax avoidance and apologise to her for any contrary impression.[/h] http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/industry/9740964/Margaret-Hodge-MP-apology.html
  19. "Fiyaz Mughal, head of the Tell Mama charity, which campaigns against Muslim hate crimes, said Mr Phillips' claims “assume Muslims have views that are inherently different to other communities. Mr Mugal added: “There are Muslims fully integrated into our society that have a ‘world view’ that is no different to others and the only difference is that they pray five times a day.” "Mr Phillips........He also branded multiculturalism as a failure, and said a black candidate cannot rise to the top in British politics because of institutional racism."
