What about all the other free mail that comes every day.
Dolmino Pizza, Pizza Hut, Everest Double Glazing just to name three, all delivered by Royal Mail.
I take it most of you bin that too.
To celebrate the start of the world cup the Sun has sent a special free paper to every household celebrating what it is to be English.
What's your verdict of it - cringe, or a quite a nice gesture to celebrate the start of England's campaign?
What are we supposed to do with it - It is not fit to wrap my chips in, my brain hurts trying to go down to it's level to read and the wife would give me a clip around the ear hole should I even think of the even considering looking at page 3.
I suppose we could line the bin with it - but really is that fair on the rubbish that it has to be brought down to this level.
I see your point, some people are going over the top.
But I really wouldn't be happy to have a copy of the Sun - or any other tabloid - forced on me either.
People aren't being held down with their eyes opened and forced to look at it whilst somebody turns the pages in front of them, Dick Dastardly style. It comes with the other junk mail, so people ought to just bin it if it is of no interest.

I'd avoid the #SendBackTheSun hashtag on Twitter, there are people who are going much further than allowing a postie to put their copy in the recycling bin.

Anyone proud to be English is likely to be deeply offended by The Sun presenting itself as something the English should be proud of?
A newspaper closely connected with the hacking of a dead child's phone and corrupt payments to officials and paid I believe paid millions to a sex offender (Max Clifford) over the years, certainly something to be proud of.
That has to be a contender for the lamest excuse of the year.
I am pretty much in a state of shock that a Labour leader could promote a Sun campaign. I handed my card in years ago but still vote for them. Until now. But what do I have in common with someone who can hold a copy of that rag.

So Did the bbc. Are they not english anymore either?
Like it or not, for years the sun have successfully associated themselves with the national football team. Many flags flown from cars or houses will have been purchasd/collected through the paper.
The Liverpool 'rule' that you're not allowed to purchase/sell/deliver/look at/have pushed through your letterbox/bin it without some sort of "look how much I hate it" gesture is not one shared by most of the country, otherwise the paper would have gone bust 25 years ago.

I will avoid it. I don't know how folk can be bothered tbh

I think Hillsborough was tragic but Liverpudlians should move on....they are forever harping on about it.

Are they thinking of bombing the Sun headquarters.
The reason for people getting so worked up about this is a matter of principle based on what utter crap The Sun is and what harm it has done to hundreds or thousands of people since Rupert bought it in 1969.
Frankly, with all the cr*p that the papers, especially The Mail and the Sun, have done, my principles are not to simply let them continue to get away with it.
It may not have much effect, but it will certainly make me feel better about myself and teach them that not everyone would even want a free copy of this paper.
Well, if you feel so strongly about it, like you said, there is little to lose.
They can also store them in those grey boxes located next to some post boxes, I always wondered what they were for until one day I saw a postie putting his bags in one. Our old postie used to get someone to drive him to his flat and he would put his bags there and go back when his bag was empty.
I wondered what they were as well. Just another communications box, until I saw what you saw, as there are loads of the latter around here, as the area has cable, fibre and phone cabinets.
Mine went straight in the wheelie bin as soon as I found it on returning home from work yesterday. With a bit of luck it will be recycled into toilet roll within the next few weeks.
Got mine this morning and my biggest wonderance is "why the heck didn't they include a suduko puzzle in it". Had they done that then I'da been a happy bunny, otherwise a brief skim told me it was basically a big "England yay" piece of blahblahblah. Definately NOT for treasuring

Yep. The Sun will be kidnapping all the other rubbish or go to war with it.

They are selling big puzzle books in the 99p shop here. Costing 99p (who knew).

No as critics of The Sun are not anti-patriotic republican extremist terrorists.
Maybe its a cut out and keep guide in today's paper on how men should plan their day by grunting to the wife, making her "take over barbecue duties" and keeping the "wife sweet" which gets people's backs up by broadcasting a undertone of sexism and misogyny which should have been left in the 50's where it belongs and picked up this morning by Labour MP Stella Creasy on Twitter. Maybe its those things which people disagree a newspaper should be promoting and why people have an issue with The Sun?
I have not received one. If I do then I will simply put it straight into the recycling in and forget about it.
As for Ed Miliband, I actually feel a little sorry for him (not just because he has to work with Ed Balls ;-) ). If he hadn't posed with his copy then I am sure that he would have been criticised for being unpatriotic, so damned either way. Personally I think it would have been much better for each leader to pose with an England shirt rather than a copy of the Sun.

With that - because, of course, no woman in the country likes football. *rolls eyes*
