When you get your free copy of The Sun in the post today, you can return it to FREEPOST, The Sun, London E98 1AX.
My suggestion is to write “Justice for the 96” or “You dropped page 3 once, why not forever?” on the front. But I trust Hynd’s Blog readers to think of their own creative slogans as well (suggestions in the comments box below please!).
Let’s get creative and tell The Sun that we don’t want their divisive, misogynistic, lying newspaper in our front rooms.
UPDATE:
Love this from my friend Ellie:
Wow, the Labour Party has just been entered into the ‘what single tweet has made you most angry/disgusted/disappointed’ competition:

Sent back my free copy with the page 3 ‘beauties’ speech bubbles saying ‘No More Page 3’ and ‘Justice for the 96’ wish I could upload the photo I took of it before I sent it back! Thanks for your blog on this issue.

I am sending each page back to the scumbag sun newspaper, in 12 individual envelopes, marked with Justice for the 96!!
As a bonus in each envelope, I shall also enclose a lovingly wrapped fish finger for them to enjoy!! HA! 🙂

Sending them back to the sun won’t cost them a penny, it’s abuse of freepost so the sun won’t have to pay. Plus anything larger than a letter Royal Mail won’t deliver as freepost only covers letters not parcels. Some of your comments were class though, was sorting them in work, was at least a few thousand we received.

Don’t send it back to the Sun. Send it back, free, to Royal Mail Door-to-Door, with a covering letter telling them how angry you are (eel free to adapt the text below). If you didn’t receive a copy of the Sun or you’ve thrown it away, you can still use the Freepost address to complain. The address is:
Steve Taylor, Operational Administrator
Freepost RSTR-YCYS-TGLJ
Royal Mail Door to Door Opt Outs
Kingsmead House
Oxpens Road
OXFORD OX1 1AA
You can also phone them for free on 0800 169 1194 – ask for Steve Taylor, or make a complaint to whoever answers. Be firm and polite.
My letter said:
“Dear Steve
Oh dear! I am in possession of a promotional copy of the Sun, which was delivered to my house by your staff.
I really like my postman and the other Royal Mail delivery staff that I meet, so this is not a complaint about them. It is a complaint about your organisation.
I’m not sure what the Sun is; is it actually a ‘newspaper’? To my mind it is misogynistic, sexist, right-wing rubbish. The organisation that produces it, News International, is rightly reviled by many thousands of people for its page 3 crap, its lies after the Hillsborough disaster, and of course for hacking a dead schoolgirl’s mobile phone. I certainly don’t want this copy of the Sun, so I’m returning it to you.
When you create business relationships with vile organisations like News International, you have to accept that people will respond, complain, and of course go elsewhere when they’re looking for couriers and delivery companies. My eBay sales will now go through a different courier, not through Royal Mail, so that’s one long-term customer you have lost because of this.
With best wishes,
etc etc”

If sending it back be sure to pad out the envelope so that it is more than 5mm thick…this then constitutes a ‘packet’ and they will have to pay considerably more 🙂 x

Why not tape the paper to your garden waste bag and send the lot to the Sun. Saves paying the council to take it, or going to the tip !

Wrap the paper round a housebrick. They pay for the delivery by weight / size.

I’d suggest a refinement to this plan. If your granny has a budgie, keep the paper a couple of days at the bottom of the cage before returning it with compliments.
