Bad News In Liverpool

Yesterday was a bad day round here. People were hurt for whatever the dumb ass reason was. There will be consequences. The world will not be a better place for it. Especially if you were one of those directly affected by the incident. My heart goes out to you.

As someone who was born inside the 0151 area code and has to tell the world he isn't a Scouser, yesterday was a bad day for me. I come from this strange place where I am not a Manc or a Scouser. I don't sound like a Scouser. Most people have no idea where I come from. I just sound vaguely northern. Pity the fool who calls me a Wool or a Plastic (you're all Plastics as far as I'm concerned (If you don't know, don't ask)). Yesterday should have been all about football and I shouldn't have cared because I'm more about rugby league.

But whilst yesterday started about football. That's not how it finished. I have no idea what happened. Some madman decided he was going to run his car into a load of celebrating fans. Kids were hurt. The number I heard was that there were a total of sixty five casualties but as far as I am aware, no deaths. So the best news possible from what was a very bad day. If you are one of the injured, one of the family members or have been affected by the incident, my thoughts are with you. 

I hope the perpetrator gets what they deserve and I also hope that nobody else suffers unjustly because somebody is trying to score points. So far I haven't met a Scouser who wasn't a survivor. I know this is another hard time. I know people will get through it.
