I know I am not BU. I am going to post it back to Sun HQ in an unstamped envelope ( will probably tear it into pieces before I do). Who will join me?

Shakes - Well said!

AnnaLegovah has expressed how I feel about it beautifully. If the vile rag gets through my door, it'll be going back to them.

FieldRose · 09/06/2014 20:00

morethan I don't think they're supposed to arrive til 12th June

Elledouble · 09/06/2014 20:18

Ugh, fucking disgusting. It's going straight back if it arrives here with a note telling them exactly why.

Darkesteyes · 09/06/2014 22:32

This home in Essex doesn't want it either JFT96

'Bleating' about Hillsborough......

What the actual fuck?

You better be about 5 or a sociopath because I can't fathom an actual adult human being having such a lack of empathy or even a smidge of human decency.

TSSDNCOP · 09/06/2014 22:53

So that is what a post by an utter cock looks like.

Daddy shame on you.

Birdsgottafly · 09/06/2014 22:57

"What about the heysel?"

Google it, you'll find your answer, it certainly didn't take 25 years for the hearings to still be happening.

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 09/06/2014 23:03

Anything i post here will be deleted either as troll hunting or a personal attack. Hmm

So just use your imaginations.

AGnu · 09/06/2014 23:03

Every household in England? Oh good, that'll save DH picking up a copy of the local free paper - we're all out of fire-starting paper! Grin

Sirzy · 09/06/2014 23:05

Beyond - that was the same reason I refrained from answering.

LadyNexus · 09/06/2014 23:06

I'm imaging what Beyond is saying.

Ouch....feel the burn Daddy Wink

LadyNexus · 09/06/2014 23:07

Seriously how do I turn off autocorrect on the ipad....bloody thing.

TucsonGirl · 09/06/2014 23:09

YABU. Stop being holier than thou OP, this isn't the Guardian website. If you don't want to read the Sun, just chuck it in recycling. I will probably have a quick look at it than stick it in the pile of newspaper I keep for lining the guinea pigs cage. It's no different to any other free newspaper or junk mail you get through the door. And with regard to the posties refusing to deliver it, sack them. They don't have the right to decide what they will and will not deliver. And I bet most of them have Sky anyway.

hoobypickypicky · 09/06/2014 23:10

Give us your address, Daddy, and we'll all send our copies to you.

Unstamped, of course.

AllsFair · 09/06/2014 23:10

Some postmen are refusing to deliver it. (Because of Hillsborough), apparently, the royal mail are not going to take any action against them.

hoobypickypicky · 09/06/2014 23:14

" It's no different to any other free newspaper or junk mail you get through the door."

TucsonGirl, last time I checked, my local newspaper, regional estate agents, Specsavers and all the other companies sending me junk mail didn't accuse the dead men, women and children of Hillsborough of being responsible for their own passing or, for that matter, claim that their distraught fellow fans were pissing on policemen and stealing from the pockets of the dead.

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 09/06/2014 23:19

On top of the many (not one, not just Hillsborough) reasons. My local newspaper run a spellchecker

Sorry but it just reminds me of people being all leftier than thou when Thatcher died. And whatever the Sun has done in the past (I'll keep silent with regard to Hillsborough as it's nigh on impossible to discuss it objectively at this point) it's nothing that other newspapers haven't also done. Look at the Guardian over the years and some of the causes they've backed, both here and overseas.

Chippednailvarnish · 09/06/2014 23:34

I will be sending it back unstamped in the hope that lots of people will do the same thing and cost Murdoch some money.

The same money he has made through publishing a paper that has amongst other things lied, hacked a murdered girls phone and objectified women.

Marcelinewhyareyousomean · 09/06/2014 23:43

No Sun to be delivered to Marceline Towers.

If one makes it through, I shall refuse to accept it and return to sender.

AlpacaYourThings · 09/06/2014 23:43

JFT96 Thanks

ShakesBootyFlabWobbles · 10/06/2014 00:14

TusconGirl perhaps you could objectively discuss Hillsborough with Lord Justice Goldring, who is conducting the fresh inquests for the 96 victims for the rest of this year in Warrington following the High Court's quashing of the original inquests in 2012; he may well be keen on hearing your views.

I am sure that the survivors and grieving families would have liked this all to have been completed and ended a long time ago, and it isn't their fault it has taken 25 years to get to this point. But if one of your family members died and were slated and lied about in the national press, you wouldn't stop pursuing truth and justice for them.

To call that leftier than thou is just plain nasty. Have a bit of respect.
