Ibrox Disaster.
Shame on Nicola Sturgeon for ignoring the 50th Anniversary of the disaster which happened on 2nd January 1971 with the loss of 66 lives.
What makes it worse is, she represents Glasgow in the Scottish parliament.

Re: Ibrox Disaster.
The same here in Bolton. our Politicians never mentioned the Bolton Disaster.
I will be waiting for a mention on the 75th anniversary of that one, in March. ``1946
35 Dead and 500 injured. I was crushed, a man saved my life and was killed moments later. So I do know what it is like and how important it is.

I was very lucky to survive that disaster. I was at the bottom of stairway 13 when the cascade of bodies came down behind us. I still think of the seconds that separated my father and I from serious injury or death.

I fear she is too busy with the lock down and attempting to find a way back to the EU.
To such as her maybe such events do not matter as they may not have happened in her time.

She (Sturgeon) is so full of her own self importance and a complete hypocrite.

Re: Ibrox Disaster.
Marian, I can see no benefit in Scotland rejoining the EU.
They would then be such a small insignificant country they could well be worse off.
AS to her never having had it, well listening to her it is easy to understand why, who would want to.
Oh sorry, just realized you were refering to the Virus.
