SUN PAGE 14 - CWU RESPONSE

TO: ALL BRANCHES WITH POSTAL MEMBERS

Dear Colleague

TODAY’S SUN ARTICLE PAGE 14

Some of our members will have seen the article in the Sun today that claims that Dave Ward, DGS P, has a sticker on his letter box saying ‘no junk mail’.

The article then uses this claim for a tirade of allegations.

We have proved beyond any doubt that neither the letter box nor the house was Dave Ward’s. I can also confirm that no such sticker is present on his property.

In addition, the postwoman named and pictured is not his postwoman and nor is the person pictured who it claims to be.

The article was clearly designed at attacking both the Union and Dave Ward personally and to undermine the dispute.

I have today written to the Sun requesting a full retraction under the relevant Editor’s Code of Practice. It is important that we bring these facts to our members’ attention.

Yours sincerely




Kevin Slocombe

Ahem - I thought comics were supposed to be funny - they've failed on that count too. And it's too dirty to wipe your arse on !

[kwf166]

That story they had in the sun, has now been removed, I just submitted a comment, which was subject to review, no surprise there, and than shortly after that, story was removed.

What we posties need to do is demo about side the Sun newspaper.

I bet the bird on page3 will be outraged, can't wait for her insightful comment.

[standup]

Sue that comic or at the very least demand a public apology.

[DirtyHarry]

My God, Journalism really is shyte in the UK. The Sun, an insult to anybody with at least a grain of inteligence.
I really do hope that Dave doesn't let this lie, and gets a public apology from the poor excuse for a human being that is the editor of that glorified wank mag.

[Thorby Bislam]

At least no one in Liverpool will have read it.
I cant believe I'm writing this, but maybe we should follow the scousers lead and boycott the rag.

It would probably go something like "I want to bring about world peace, be kind to animals, stop people starving in the third world and show everyone my new tits."

I haven't wasted money on buying that sleazepaper for a couple of years now.
