His welfare is my concern, no burden is he.

The coveted Christmas number one has been won five times in the last six years by a contestant of The X factor. Some of those artists have never been heard of since and were manufactured, fake and not all that good at best. Shayne Ward started the trend in 2005 with That's my goal, before fading into obscurity. Only 2009's Rage against the machine interrupted the run after an online campaign to upset Simon Cowell's fame machine.
This year looked to be heading the same way with the latest X factor winner, the interesting and undoubtedly talented  James Authur. We are of course, yet to see if he has the longevity to survive longer than his predecessors. I suspect he will. That talent and the X factor machine was not enough to get Mr Authur to number 1.
That went to a song that was first a hit over 40 years ago. He aint heavy (he's my brother), first recorded by Manchester band The Hollies in 1969 was rehashed and recorded by a group of ex footballers and singers including Robbie Williams and the ever annoying Paul Mcartney under the name The justice collective, with proceeds going to the families of the 96 men women and children that perished in the Hillsborough disaster.
Recently cleared of all blame on the day, the families are now seeking new inquest verdicts after the original verdicts were quashed. The government is to pay all legal costs and have ordered a new enquiry so that what happened in 1989 may be re examined.
The government, transparently desperate to show themselves as the friendly, nice party, announced they would also waive VAT on the charity single.
Now, this may be quite an unfashionable opinion, and one that may indeed cause offence to some band waggon ambushing, holier than thou, police hating idiots, but I thought the last enquiry with its  trumpet blowing fanfare finale meant justice at last.
The truth is that we will never know what actually happened on that day. No matter how much money we throw at endless investigations and enquiry's, we will not get to the truth because the screeching U turns of the media and the government, who once crucified the Liverpool fans, have enshrined Liverpool football club as one beyond criticism. But there will be no smoking gun. Police officers on duty that day, the medical staff on duty that day, retired politicians and disgraced newspaper editors have all been blamed rather than acknowledge the public's perception of Liverpool fans in 1989.
Is it possible that the reason those 96 football fans died was simply a massive group of coincidences amounting to a massive slice of horrifically bad luck ? In a time when health and safety was far less enforced than today, is surprising that the state of the stadium contributed to the disaster?
 In a time when the Police of South Yorkshire were sadly oh too familiar with facing highly charged situations after years of picket lines and striking Coalminers, is it impossible to imagine how they might possibly have misread the carnage on that day and assumed that Liverpool fans, who at that time enjoyed a certain notoriety, after helping English clubs get banned from Europe with their involvement in the Heysel stadium. 
Surely, we are not surprised that some over zealous newspaper editors filled their boots at the chance to point the finger. The appalling Kelvin Mckenzie should be absolutely ashamed of himself for the lies he printed and yet, he appears to be simply untouched by the pain he caused to so many already devastated families. That said, the recent Leveson debacle should have made us unshockable by the depths that newspapers will stoop to sell copies.

There have been calls for verdicts of manslaughter being returned against the police officers on duty that day, and hope David Cameron is brave enough to resist that avenue. The events of that day were a compilation of misjudgements of biblical proportions that will inevitably, eventually result in huge compensation payments to the families from our kind caring government.

I feel there are some more pertinent issues that need the immediate attention of the home secretary, the chancellor and the Prime Minister.
Not least of all the lack of growth, the increasing poverty and general unhappiness being experienced by thousands of families up and down the country due entirely to decisions made by the government. It is ironic that one of the lines of Xmas number 1, He aint heavy reads "his welfare is my concern, no burden is he to bear" .
We are not falling for it Mr Cameron. No matter how much money and good will you throw at 96 Liverpudlian families , the rest of the country knows that the Tory party party is the nasty party.
Where Labour tried to get rid of poorness, the Tory lead government seems intent on getting rid of the poor.
