Just got this outstanding mailshot from the PCS. I won’t add any more as it says it all really. Please support this fantastic commemoration

PCS trade union has over 10,000 members working in Government departments across Liverpool.

We have a proud history of standing together to fight for better working conditions and defending our rights.

We want to show this same solidarity in coming together to pay our respects to the 96 football fans that went to the FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough on 15th April 1989 but never returned back to us.

They are always in our thoughts and on the 20th anniversary we want to say ‘you will never be forgotten and the fight for justice for you and your families will go on’.

You’ll Never Walk Alone!

At 3.06pm on Wednesday 15th April the Town Hall bells will ring to start a two minute silence for the victims of the Hillsborough disaster.

We are calling on all trade unionists to come together to hold hands forming a link going from Water Street, past the Town Hall, through Exchange Flags and up along Old Hall Street.

Please pay your respects and take part in this. Encourage friends and colleagues to do the same. Wear your team’s colours, bring scarves and flags.

LET’S STAND TOGETHER FOR THE 96.

I’ve just received news of a really interesting play touring the North West which should interest all football fans, and anyone else with a sense of mischief.

It’s an amazing true story of one Liverpool fan’s very odd night in Istanbul.

As you’d imagine it’s a comedy – no doubt made funnier by the fact that it actually happened.

It comes with Jimmy McGovern’s recommendation too.

Written by Radio 4 playwright, John Graham Davies, BEATING BERLUSCONI is based on the bizarre true story of a real Liverpool fan who went to the Istanbul final in 2005, somehow got into the AC Milan Director’s box and then almost had a fight with the Mussolini loving Italian PM when the Reds equalised.

I was honoured to attend the official launch of the Hillsborough Tribute record "Fields of Anfield Road" yesterday at The Picket.

The CD is on sale from April 6th and remembers those who died at Hillsborough 20 years ago this year.

It was good to see Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez take time out of his schedule to appear at the event.

Former Reds captain Phil Thompson gave an impassioned speech to a venue decked with Liverpool banners remembering the 96.

The premiere of the song and DVD were shown and it really is fantastic.

It features Kenny Dalglish amongst many great ex Reds singing along to the chorus, but the lead vocals are taken by John Power.

It has to be said that John is superb. I love his voice anyhow. It has that Lennon rasp to it. His delivery of this song was simply perfect.

Congratulations to all involved for a wonderful product.

It’s up to us all now to buy it and put the 96 back in the forefront of everybody’s minds nationwide.

Nothing would please me more than this track getting to number 1 in the charts, and we can make it happen by buying it the moment it is released.

Our friends still haven’t had justice. We have not forgotten. We never will.

My album is due out in August.

Would you like your face pic to be on the album sleeve?

Well you can!!

Just reply to the thread in my brand new Parryfans community for my friends, fans and supporters.

Within the last couple of months I’ve become a daily Twitter user.

I must admit I like it. I pick up some useful articles and blogs from the links people post, and I’ve even started chatting to a few interesting people in my twitterverse.

Oh, twitterverse? Well it’s like Universe but limited to Twitter. People on twitter start talking like that. Things tend to start with tw a lot too.

A festival of twitter users becomes a twestival. People on twitter become tweeple.

We can only hope that cats never start using it!

But that’s another story….

If you’re twaddicted to your twitterverse then enjoy a bit of self parody with this fab movie animation.

And if you think everyone in twitter is a stupid big nerdy moron (like me!) then watch it as you point and laugh.

The irony is – I found this on Twitter!!
