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?

i do pity the extra work for the posties. and of course those affected,

xihha · 09/06/2014 10:56

there's no Dear Deidre and no page 3, surely that's all that is usually in the sun?

Thanks for the warning Bourdic, I shall make sure I get to the post before DS(10) does because he reads everything he sees and I don't want him to read that crap.

TickleMyTitsTillFriday · 09/06/2014 10:57

Did you all see the post saying that its about the no more page 3?

TickleMyTitsTillFriday · 09/06/2014 11:00

Actually scrap that, it doesn't seem to be at all...!

Bourdic, is this the fb page you've set up?

AnyaKnowIt · 09/06/2014 11:01

Thank fuck I'm in Scotland.

I'd rather someone shit on my door step then have the sun through my letter box.

Sirzy · 09/06/2014 11:01

Shakes - I live in Skelmersdale and I am very pleased they are refusing to do deliver it. They have my full support and that of everyone I have spoken to

Sixweekstowait · 09/06/2014 11:04

xihha Yes - how did you do that?

Sirzy · 09/06/2014 11:05

liked that page and will share now

LadyNexus · 09/06/2014 11:07

Thanks for the link Nucky, I have sent my complaint to Royal Mail.

ShakesBootyFlabWobbles · 09/06/2014 11:08

Perfectly reasonable response.

Sirzy - you can tell them a home in South fully supports them too.

merce · 09/06/2014 11:10

I would be furious to have such a sexist publication darkening my doors. Definitely complain. Tell them you don't want offensive misogynist pornography. Er - think you can tell I hate it too!!!

Sixweekstowait · 09/06/2014 11:10

Yes thanks Nucky

I have always lived in London and the SE. I have no familial or other links to Liverpool. And yet 2 teenage girls who attended my school died at Hillsborough. Don't assume that all those who were affected were from Liverpool.

The Sun is a disgusting rag that took 23 years to print a proper apology for the vile lies they printed as truth. Too little, too late. I'm with you, OP.

xihha · 09/06/2014 11:12

Magic Wink

I typed 'pledge to send' into the facebook search bit at the top and it was the first one that came up. Then just added it like any other web link.

Mckayz · 09/06/2014 11:13

I will be posting mine back. Not a Liverpool fan and I'm 28 so I don't remember Hillsborough disaster but I know what The Sun did. I have friends who are Liverpool fans and one friend who lost a cousin. He doesn't live in Merseyside so will have to look at it when it is posted to him.

ShakesBootyFlabWobbles · 09/06/2014 11:13

Could not agree more scrambledsmegs

NotEnoughTime · 09/06/2014 11:13

I'm not a fan of The Sun or Murdoch understatement of the year but as long as it doesn't have page 3 in it I won't be too upset.

If it had page 3 I would be fuming as I do not believe that half naked young women are news and I feel it is very damaging to society as a whole ie not only young men but young men too.

I hate the way that mainstream media tries to normalise pornography Sad

SelectAUserName · 09/06/2014 11:15

Nice one Bourdic, once I can get onto FB at lunchtime I will share.

AutumnStar · 09/06/2014 11:15

I am a Liverpool fan. I go to the Hillsborough memorial service. I didn't lose anyone at Hillsborough but I know people who did.

It's lovely to see so many MNetters around the country backing our city like this and understanding.

Thank you all. Thanks

LadyNexus · 09/06/2014 11:17

Page 3 is an abomination, but even without it in we all know the sentiments of the suns staff towards young women with their breasts out don't we?

But it's not just that, a lot of people all over the country were affected by Hillsborough and what that bastard piece of rag shit did is unforgivable.

HavantGuard · 09/06/2014 11:22

Thanks Nucky. I'll be sending it back (from deepest Hampshire.)

Justice for the 96.

gordyslovesheep · 09/06/2014 11:23

I hate the way that mainstream media tries to normalise pornography but you'd forgive the sun for YEARS of objectifying women because they take Page 3 out for a week ...it'll be back next Monday

Page 3 is a massive issue - The Sun has justified it for years - they haven't changed - they are a massive part of the problem you claim to hate
