The postal workers union has claimed it was being "gagged" after adverts it paid for as part of its campaign against part-privatisation of the Royal Mail were suddenly taken down.

The Communication Workers Union bought space for adverts to appear at Westminster Tube station, close to Parliament, reading Keep The Post Public.

The adverts were placed at the underground station on Monday and were due to stay for two weeks but the union said they had been taken down. Officials were told the reason was because the ads contravened a clause about "images or messages that relate to matters of public controversy and sensitivity".

Instead of funding Labour, use the money to place adverts in the daily papers or television. I'm sure Murdoch will give us a discount, we deliver enough of his s*** on a daily basis. Sorry,forgot he's best friends with Al.

You would have thought that the CWU would have known or at the least have carried out checks so that there was no contravensions of clauses before buying space for adverts to appear.
