Discrediting Chanting Arrests at Football Matches
The recent arrests of football fans for their chants or songs at matches, like some Manchester United supporters arrested after Liverpool game, showcase a concerning trend where fans can be prosecuted for vocalizing inappropriate content, such as the tragedy chanting, reflecting a slippery slope of curtailing free expression.
Historical Context of Hillsborough Tragedy
Delving into the tragic Hillsborough disaster in 1989 where 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives due to failures of police management, the subsequent cover-up by authorities, including the defamatory publication by The Sun, emphasizes the shame in silencing individuals for even misguided shouts or chants concerning football-related tragedies.
Empowerment and Disempowerment in Society
The enforcement of arrests for chanting at football matches reveals a broader attempt to disempower individuals by fostering vulnerability and helplessness, insinuating that people lack the strength or intelligence to overlook offensive remarks, thereby advocating for excessive interference and legal consequences in trivial matters.
Richie is joined by Dr. Anne McCloskey. Anne is a remarkable woman. Back in 2020 she was a retired GP with an impeccable 40 year record. She was and remains admired and respected in her community. When Covid hit, Anne volunteered at her local hospital. She was shocked at what she found and began to question the covid narrative. She criticised lockdowns, the treatment of children and the elderly and warned about the dangers associated with mRNA vaccines. She was suspended by the General Medical Council and fought them all the way. On today's show, Anne looks back over the past four years and tells Richie what she has learned. Anne also discusses Ireland's recent referendums and why she's decided to run as a candidate in Ireland's forthcoming local and EU elections.
