What a difference a day makes.
I understand the bitterness some might feel over people now suddenly waking up to the truth, but thats been what its been about, that people didnt know or didnt believe us, but now they do, we got that first part, now we want justice for the 96.
But to have it changed, to have people finally see through the lies and actually side with us now is an amazing feeling.
The fact is people already had a poor opinion of us, after things like Heysel and just the general way in which scousers were and are regarded, as lay abouts and thieves, easy stereotypes, thats part of why it was so easy for people to believe it, they already thought badly of us, so it wasnt much of a stretch when the lies started flowing out. But now they see, they actually see we werent just moaning, we werent playing the victim to deflect blame or because its some kind of mentality we have, no its because we were the victim of a monsterous injustice, the louder we shouted the less they believed us. Its fantstic that now they do know and fair play to any who have come out to admit it, we want you with us. To be honest if you never do anything else but believe the truth, thats fine, the truth is out.
I just realised as I type this how much this is going to change things for us, its true there are still going to be people who either dont believe or come out with shite about it, but generally, its over, its altered life as we know it and its now a fight to bring those responsible to account. But the war is over, the war of trying to tell people what really happened and having the truth fall on wilfully deaf ears is over, people know and will listen now, I cant even begin to express what that feels like, the sense of relief in just incredible. It will improve with time as well, as hopefully the guilty are brought to book, its strange to think it, but there might come a day when we dont have to fight anymore and it can finally be put to rest. I didnt realise, but until this wednesday I didnt think it would ever end, now its seems like it might.
