To be absolutely steaming about having a free copy of the Sun delivered by Royal Mail?

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?

And in other news, the jury has retired to consider verdicts in the phone hacking trial.

fridgepants even if they don't say something, they could be thinking it. It's natural. If I see someone attractive I either think hello..... Or say to a friend, bloody hell he's gorgeous.

The free sun isn't having page 3 in it.

I very much doubt immigrants are reading The Sun. To start with it uses very colloquial language peculiar to this country that would mean absolutely nothing to somebody not familiar with the language.

There's a # operationowngoal on twitter -

I should imagine that The Sun is an excellent newspaper for those new to reading English as it deliberately has a reading age of approx. 8yo.

Nancy66 · 11/06/2014 19:14

No it doesn't - that's a myth.

Chipstick10 · 11/06/2014 19:32

Stunned at how patronising this thread is.

JohnFarleysRuskin · 11/06/2014 20:16

Stunned at how patronising you are, chipsticks.

SauceForTheGander · 11/06/2014 22:10

I find it patronising that The Sun considers itself so ubiquitous.

dementedma · 11/06/2014 22:19

Throw it in the bin if you don't want to read it.
Every newspaper in the land prints stories to its own agenda, which is why I don't buy any or them.
The Sun is not alone in printing shite.

SelectASweetBreadTwist · 11/06/2014 23:03

Most papers manage to stop short of printing shite accusing dead children of being complicit in their own deaths though, dementedma.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 11/06/2014 23:09

I don't want it in the house . Give them away free by all means in shops . JFT96.

Nancy66 · 11/06/2014 23:15

How did they accuse dead children of being complicit in their own deaths?

SelectASweetBreadTwist · 11/06/2014 23:32

Are you being deliberately obtuse, Nancy? Do you know nothing of Hillsborough and how the Sun reported it? If not, I suggest you educate yourself. If you do, then I guess that answers my first question.

Nancy66 · 11/06/2014 23:50

I suspect I know rather more than you

AnnieLobeseder · 12/06/2014 00:57

Looking back over your posts, Nancy, I get the feeling that you are closely linked to the Sun - do you or someone you know work for them by any chance?

Chipstick10 · 12/06/2014 07:40

My polish cleaner reads the Sun. She's not very bright bless her heart and she likes looking at the pictures My mum and dad insist on reading it, I'm so ashamed of them. They are good people at heart but they are not very clever. not like me. i watch the bbc and read the GuardianThey also have a subscription to sky.and adore sneering at the not to bright white van man with his Sun and Daily star reading material as we listen to them quipping "cor there's not too many of them to the pound" as they leer over the page three bimbo who needs dear Harriet to show her the error of her ways. And then we ostracise Daily Mail readers for their aborhant right wing views.

RedToothBrush · 12/06/2014 08:14

Chipstick, well thats part of the reason I'm not keen on any paper being delivered like this, as its always going to upset someone with its political leaning.

But then I did mention that and a few other important points, which you seem to have missed in your fervour to have a pop at people.

Cheap point scoring.

Fluffyears · 12/06/2014 08:22

Ha they aren't delivering in Scotland since we aren't in the World Cup. Just to be awkward should I complain that it is racist not to give me my free copy?

SistersOfPercy · 12/06/2014 09:07

I'm very much looking forward to getting my copy.
The dog has diarrhoea and I need to nip out later, it will save a lot of mopping Wink

TrueGent · 12/06/2014 09:12

The Sun is Britain's most popular newspaper. MailOnline is the world's most popular newspaper website.

That is why the Left hate them. Not so much for their views but because so many people either agree with them or don't them enough to stop reading them.

This reminds the Left how hard it will be for them to control people's thoughts and, in turn, many resort to abuse (see J.K. Rowling's treatment yesterday for donating £1m to the BetterTogether campaign).

TrueGent · 12/06/2014 09:13

*don't disagree with them strongly enough to stop reading...

RedToothBrush · 12/06/2014 09:21

Hahahahahaha

Are you suggesting I'm a leftie?

Good god no.
