Sun Newspaper tries to win back Merseysiders

The Sun Newspaper(Scum) has been desperately trying to win over Merseyside ever since the boycott of the gutter-rag paper back in 1989 which came after the Suns twisted stories following the Hillsborough Football Disaster. Kirkby had more fight in 1989 and we saw the Sun being burned in Public and banned in the Town Center for a while, unfortunately the Sun has crept back into our community and some of our children may be in contact with this twisted gutter rag. The Sun Newspaper is thankfully even banned by Knowsley Council; this is due to pressure from the Community and thankfully some degree of ethics from our Councilors. It's not often Kirkby Times congratulates the Council, but in this case, they have done the right thing. Unfortunately though, the Council uses News international to print two local papers.

Junk Mail by a Junk Paper

Jan 6th saw a mail out in Kirkby by the Sun Newspaper in unison with their sister paper the appalling News of the World. The mail out had no indication on the envelope as to its origin, it was only when the envelope was opened that the contents revealed themselves to be an attempt by the Sun to creep back into our lives by offering 10p off the Sun for the next 8 weeks! A separate voucher is included for each day and also the chance to get 15p off the News of the World up until March. This is a big investment by the Sun in mailing possibly thousands of these mail outs uninvited, to residents. There were a number of these envelopes sent out using outdated mailing lists; in fact they may well be using desperate tactics as the people receiving the mail out also receive a multitude of other useless Junk Mail outs. Rupert Murdoch's News International, who are behind the Sun, suffered a loss of some 3 billion last year. Great News!

Stick it where the Sun don't shine!

The mail out included a 'Dear Reader' section, where the lowlife pushing this gutter rag tell us that "We cannot afford to be without the Sun every day" and also inform us that we can "join the Suns huge family". Kirkby Times is dropping diplomacy just this once, and telling the Sun to go screw itself. You can stick your despicable little gutter rag were the Sun don't shine! As the Great Spion Kop once sang "Rupert Murdoch is a Wan***" This may seem crude, but compared to what the Sun wrote about Hillsborough, it is politeness itself. Hillsborough may seem another age to some people, but the people of Kirkby must NEVER forget the attack by the Sun.

Below, Kirkby's Women take the lead and burn the Sun Newspaper back in April 1989. This event shows Working Class Solidarity at its most effective, when a groundswell of public opinion translates into action. We should have headed for the Sun Factory and dragged it down.

Using Liverpool FC to creep back in Merseyside!

A worrying reference is made to Liverpool FC on the mail out, as if to legistimise the Sun and to bring them back into the fold at Anfield. The Sun mail out has a photo of Emile Heskey and also a quote by Gerald Houlier. The Sun would do anything to try and get readership numbers up in Kirkby and throughout Merseyside, and the attempt to use Liverpool FC is sickening given it was the Sun who accused Liverpool supporters back in 89 of causing the Hillsborough Disaster. The Sun even twist the issue into some titillating sexual comments, check out the Suns warped offering below. Lets hope Gerald Houlier has the guts to tell them to 'do one' if they come creeping round Anfield. Houlier must realise that if he is a true red he has an obligation to boycott the Sun.

Posh Spice Kidnapping?

Another featured snippet of an article was one regarding an attempted kidnapping of 'Posh Spice' The News of the World actually set up the whole operation and recorded a bunch of drunken Blokes telling complete strangers who were Journalists they were going kidnap posh spice. The average kidnapper does not make an habit of telling strangers details of the upcoming crime, nevertheless, the 'News' of The World swallowed it and ran numerous stories claiming how they stopped this evil attempt to kidnap Beckham's Wife. Only trouble was, the Police never charged the so called vicious kidnap gang. There was no kidnap attempt. But why let the facts get in the way of a good headline? Why report on the actual news when you can just make it up.

Below the Kidnap attempt that never happened. Anyone who seriously believes this paper is pretty sad, even if you just buy it for a laugh, the last laugh is on you as you pay good money for a load of cr**.

Remember the 15th of April

Kirkby Times will be producing a number of posters to mark the upcoming 14th anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster, also a number which specifically promote the continuing boycott of the Sun. These will be available to download in a high resolution format. There will also be the Justice March on April 15th, a Tuesday this year. (We will confirm this ASAP) It's important Merseyside Remembers this event, and more important that we use whatever means we can to help Justice be achieved for the 96 and those who survived that terrible day.As Kirkby Times has stated, it goes beyond 96 dead now. That day in 89 is still taking its toll.
