To object to the Sun being delivered with my post?

No idea, Ana. Depends what's in the paper, I would think, and it's still controlled by Murdoch, I think. Doubtless you would put me right if it isn't.

I felt slightly invaded when the UKIP propaganda entered my house via the letterbox. I don't like any of it much, but definitely felt sullied by that leaflet. The Sun would make me feel the same.

Have just been reading my Guardian. It had a very strange wrap today, a greaseproof paper four page ad for Sky channel 123 launching tonight.
Murdoch is on the offensive.

'Only a newspaper' - wow, just wow!! And it's because I've got a life that I care very much about this sort of issue- cogito ergo sum

Well said, GrannyTwice. I will put my Sky ad in with the Sun when I get it, and hope they have to pay even more!

I shall take example from HRH the POW and his old clothing by setting fire to the Sun, in my garden, without even opening it!

Mine will be in the post straight away too. Abhorrent rag!

Don't think it applies in Scotland but if it did I'd gladly join you. Until recently my broadband/ landline was with O2. O2 was then bought over by Murdoch group so I cancelled and moved to Virgin. In the process of cancellation I was asked my reason for leaving them and simply replied 'Rupert Murdoch'. I had the impression that I was not alone in saying this! Unpleasant to the last, they told me that as I'd paid a month in advance, that sum would be refunded. A month later I was told that, after adjustments, I was entitled to £18! Can't budge them on it!

ninny, I really think it is rude to tell people to 'get a life' because someone objects to the tactics of Mudoch and his cronnies. You are of course entilted to your opinion and disagree with those who are incensed about this (and I would be)- but please do not insult them for being upset about this.

The Sun is very absorbent and ideal for placing under cat litter trays, and then you can empty the contents into it. It's a load of c**p anyway, so completely fit for purpose.

granjura, perhaps ninny meant to be rude. It isn't against Gransnet rules after all, although you could be forgiven for thinking so these days!

granjura I am sure GrannyTwice can speak for herself!
GrannyTwice I think therefore I am, are you trying to show how intelligent you are!

When you send your unstamped envelope containing the S*n, why not also write something on the outside of the envelope in protest / explanation / whatever you like.

They don't have to accept unstamped mail. By making your feelings clear on the envelope they'll probably choose not to do so.

Ninny - it rather loses something in the translation. As for your comment about my wanting to show my intelligence..... . I don't need to - its self-evident

Destination for the free Sun - consigned to the blackest, darkest corner of the universe, there to languish for ever and ever more.

papaoscar - did you have in mind somewhere 'where the Sun don't shine'?

AnnoD - that thought hadn't even entered my simple mind, but now that you mention it..

To have this rag in my house would defile it.
Uggggg!!

I don't like it or Murdoch and everyone is 100% entitled to their opinions. I am however surprised at the depth of feeling shown by some.

just recycle it - it has already cost them to send it out
I do that with unwanted Labour party diatribes having first ripped them to pieces.
It is annoying but so is a lot of the stuff sent through the post.
ninny I admire your forthrightness

I like the idea of posting it back stamp-less. I think I'll do that if I get one, which seems that I might!

But as I've pointed out before, no one has to accept unstamped mail.

Surely the Sun staff will have been alerted to this sort of backlash and certainly won't be authorised to pay not only the postage, but the £1 'admin fee' charged by the Royal Mail...?

But if you really feel your protest gesture will make a difference, do go ahead

If they get a lot of unstamped returned papers to refuse, it might bring it home to them that it was not a popular move.

I agree, Elegran. If we just recycle it, they will not know the extent of our annoyance. The Post Office will still have to take the bags to the Sun offices in order for them to refuse them.
