Not the Scum and I haven't read past page one yet but this may be of interest :)
Royal Mail has agreed to distribute 22m free copies of the S*n across the country next week as part of a charm offensive by the lying, dead smearing rag.

Liverpool postcodes and some CH postcodes are exempt but other areas on Merseyside and surrounding areas will have that shite dropped through the letterbox.

Workers at the Royal Mail sorting office in Skelmersdale, supported by their union CWU, have made it clear that if they are forced to distribute the rag, they will walk out in a brillitant show of defiance and support for the 96 and the boycott. However, why should they even be put in this position?

Support the workers at Skelmersdale and the boycott by contacting Royal Mail to complain about the paper being distributed anywhere in Merseyside and to make sure it doesn't get delivered to you.

Customer Services number 0345 774 0740

Email customerservice@royalmail.com

Write to Royal Mail Customer Services, Freepost PO Box 740 Plymouth PL9 7YB

I'd really appreciate all my friends sharing this to put as much pressure as possible on Royal Mail to change their mind.

I'm suggesting that people burn their copy, film it, upload to whatever social media site they use.

Has got ok traction on twitter.

Who knows? It was sent to me by someone I trust, and there is no virus or anything attached to it, so nothing lost from signing up.

I guess I will find out tomorrow :D

:hmm: that site looks like a dodgy spam trap to collect email addresses and phone numbers to me. who are "nation builder" anyway? i doubt they have anything to do with royal mail.

Cool stuff :)

Is that an official return address set up by News International, or by Royal Mail?

Spoke to my local postie about it this morning and he said even if they don't get the backing from the management no one in their sorting office will actually touch the bails of shite when they arrive:cool:

I have just put a big sign in my window near the letter box, asking that it isn't delivered. I don't even want to make art with it. I think refusing it is a stronger message, as it might actually get back to them, if enough people do so.
 
When I think of the work colleagues who I know buy the Sun and those who read it because usually it is lying aroung in the locker room or canteen I cringe to think that their opinions and politics are influenced by it. All those " it was alleged", "it is rumoured..." or "an insider said..." type stories that obviously cannot be substantiated. The same goes for the Mirror and Star which are also fairly popular where I work.

When I once asked a work friend why he bought the Mirror his reply was that it was good for the sport - he wasn't too bothered about current affairs and even less politics (not that there is much of either in the red tops). Being a Liverpool fan there was no way he was going to buy the Sun. In fact most of the people I know begin reding with the back pages.

Just as an aside, another work colleauge who was actually at Hillsborough, recently committed suicide. Whether the events at Hillsborough contributed to this I can only speculate but if so, it goes to show that the legacy of that day can still be felt even today.

I like the idea, but just a thought...might postie get the sack if he failed to deliver the 'mail'?
 
If it arrives, it will be folded into cranes, and then recycled.

About two or three weeks before Ian died, there was all this stuff about Kelvin MacKenzie being on Newsnight, and Ian got really angry. I didn't realise just how much it bothered him. His sleep was being disturbed, but he was also worrying about his business. He gave up nursing 10 years after Hillsborough and he set up a computer company. For seven or eight years it went well, then it started going downhill.

Ian died on the Tuesday. The weekend before, we'd gone up to the Lake District and had a lovely time; there was no hint of any anxiety. He said everything at work would be fine. On the Monday night he was a bit tetchy, a bit tired. In the morning I remember him getting up before the alarm and turning it off. I'd just rolled over to where he'd been sleeping, and I thought, "Ooh, I'm glad he's not coming back to bed," because where he'd been lying was lovely and warm.

Ian got up and had a shower and put his work clothes on. He did everything he'd normally do: he had a cup of tea, went into the garage and fed the rabbit. At about quarter to eight my daughter came up and asked me something and I said: "Oh, ask your dad," and she said: "Dad's gone," and I said: "He hasn't gone this early; he hasn't even said goodbye." She said: "He has. He's not downstairs." So I came down and his van was still on the path. I called his mobile and it rang in the living room. We went out into the kitchen and the garage door had the key in, so my daughter ran out to the garage. And Ian had hanged himself in there. She started screaming.
