Anne Williams - a plea in peace from one place to another

[melonhead]

The thing is , there are probably 100's of people waiting for inquests about the tragic death of a loved one.
I can't see why one person should be given preferencial treatment because they're in the media spotlight.
She has my sincere sympathies but I'm not favouring her over an unknown set of others.

could have just not signed it and moved quietly on tbf

hillsboro victims mum
dying of cancer or summat
wanting to hear the inquest before she dies

[Harinder_LFC]

hi

thank you for your continued support. For those wondering why Anne Williams - she's dying of terminal cancer. This is the same woman who on 3 previous separate occassions has presented the same evidence to the Attorney General and got nowhere. Why should now be any different? The revelations from the Hillsborough Independent Panel changed everything. The culmination of a 23 year fight for the truth to be out there bore some fruition. It's not the end. It is very far from it

This appeal by no means serves to discredit or lower the importance of anyone else's fight... it is to help a mother who may just get her wish before she passes away.

I've never signed on on-line petition in my life.......... but I'm certainly signing this one. Never was there a more deserving case.

Unashamed bump

The European Court of Human Rights dealt a slap in the face around the time of the 20th anniversary, with the now-hauntingly apt phrase "out of time".

Will it help? This is what Anne had to say on the matter

Signed. I hope the lady finds closure. Good luck to her.

[Anfield Kopite]

Obviously i signed this some time ago. I didnt post a link on here for a couple of reasons. 1 i enjoy posting on hobnob and i dont want everything i post to be LFC or Hillsborough related. 2 I was very afraid of someone posting something on the lines of 96 wne, which happened in the justice thread and upsets me greatly to the point were i have to visit my GP.

[From Despair To Where?]

Signed.

Am I right in saying that Anne Williams' son was the poor lad who was taken to the temporary mortuary whilst still alive and no attempt was made at resuscitation?

Scandalous negligence.

A female officer gave a witness statement that Anne's son passed away in her arms at 3.55pm after mouthing the word mum. Due to the fact that the coroner in the original inquest decided that everyone was either dead or was beyond help by 3.15 no evidence from after 3.15 was heard. This was because a massive amount of evidence after this time would have been hugely critical of the emergency services. The WPC was put under enormous pressure to change her statement but refused. She was accused of being a fantasist and that she wasnt even at the disaster. Anne has campaigned for over 2 decades for a new inquest for her son Kevin and for the original verdict of accidental death to be quashed.

Under 7000 to go.

Any signatures to date duly appreciated. One last push and we've given this mum the inquest she so duly deserves before she dies.

http://bit.ly/X0AnPG - More than 100,000 of you call yourselves Liverpool fans, FEWER than 100,000 of you have signed this. Sort it.

There has to be at least 100,000 English/UK based Liverpool fans who have linked to the internet and various social media outlets so I am rather surprised this still hasn't been completed yet, especially as I've seen this championed over Twitter by Liverpool Media representitives for weeks.

No you haven't. The new inquest was always going to be held, this petition is just about fasttracking it. Not about giving her an inquest. And this petition won't even necessarily fasttrack it.

100,000 signatures just means that a committee of backbench MPs has a look at the petition and decides whether or not it should be debated in the commons. At the moment they debate about 25% of the petitions that reach 100,000.

Even if it's debated, there's no guarantee about the result, and MP's CAN'T (shouldn't) VOTE ON WHEN AN INQUEST SHOULD BE HELD, AS THERE IS A SEPARATION OF POWERS BETWEEN THE LEGISLATURE AND THE JUDICIARY.

Bloody hell, 99,000 of you are utterly oxf*rd deluded if you think getting to 100,000 guarantees an early inquest. All 100,000 signatures means is that 100,000 people feel sorry for the mum. I'm one of them. This may well lead to an early inquest, in fact, I hope she does get an inquest - it will achieve oxf*rd all but at least she'll feel a little bit better while she waits for the sweet release of death - but to say this petition 'gives' her the inquest is just plain wrong.

I am, however, a little uneasy about political pressure being applied via mob rule onto the independent judiciary. But we shall see.

FWIW, I signed the bloody thing, despite knowing better.

Felt similarly and suspected that was the case... like you I still signed the thing as a show of solidarity.
