Is it customary for the prosecution counsel to turn up for verdict and sentencing? I met him on Thursday night, and he seemed confident, not that he'd remember me. Respect to the name dropping though. What's the backstory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Postal workers 'will strike' if told to deliver free Sun copies as Hillsborough anger continues Postal workers in Lancashire are threatening to strike if they are told to deliver free copies of the Sun next week in protest against its coverage of the Hillsborough tragedy. Union members at the Royal Mail depot in Skelmersdale, near Liverpool, have vowed to walk out if “any copies of the Sun cross the gates”. In a statement given to the Liverpool Class Action website, they called the newspaper "s***e". The newspaper is delivering 22 million free World Cup editions around the country on Thursday and Friday. The Sun is still reviled in parts of Merseyside and among Liverpool fans for its coverage of the Hillsborough disaster. Skelmersdale has a strong association with Liverpool and workers advocating the postal strike are understood to support the long-running “Don’t Buy the Sun” campaign. The Sun sparked outrage after the April 1989 tragedy where 96 people will killed and hundreds more injured. Under a banner headline which read “The Truth”, the paper claimed the fatal crush at Sheffield Wednesday's ground was caused by drunken Liverpool fans. The story claimed that some stole from the pockets of the dead and urinated on police officers trying to rescue them. Inquiries have since concluded that Liverpool fans were not responsible for the disaster and police had released misleading statements in the wake of the tragedy. Sally Hopkins, a spokesperson for Royal Mail, said the Sun had already chosen not to include Liverpool in the mailing. She added: “Any individual concerns will be handled sensitively with fairness, dignity and fully respecting the views of individuals. “Local CWU representatives and delivery office managers will work together to agree sensible and amicable solutions.” A spokesman for the Communication Workers' Union (CWU) said an official strike had not been called and the action was being taken by a group of staff. "It's not a strike at the moment but a divisional officer is meeting with Royal Mail to discuss it," she added. "Some staff members were at the Hillsborough disaster and had family there and they feel very strongly about it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe anyone not wanting the shit that is the sun, should return it, remembering not to pay for the postage, after all why should you pay to return unwanted junk mail to it's owner. to, The Sun 3 Thomas More Square, London, E98 1XY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 So all 3 leaders pictured holding the Sun yesterday More proof if we needed it that Murdoch still calls the shots Hope every postman that refused to deliver it gets disciplined though , they are paid to do a job , not be Stephen Fry , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 What about the 99.9% of other stuff they deliver without a thought about its origin What about the birthday money that posties steal on a regular basis from kids To try and paint them as modern day heroes is a little ludicrous Presumably when the sun demand a hefty refund on their fee paid to the post office and other clients lose confidence that their product will be delivered and use another method and redundancies follow , that will be good as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted June 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2014 It's a dangerous precedent for the postman to decide not to deliver things because he doesn't like the content or the sender. Presumably, Jon, you endorse a postman who knew people killed in IRA bombings refusing to deliver mail from Ireland? What of a postman who blames vaccinations for making his sister autistic? Should he be allowed to not deliver vaccine information to doctors or patients? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although having lived in Upholland, I'm surprised anybody from Skelmersdale can read well enough to tell one newspaper from another in any case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
