Linking to The Sun
« on: August 02, 2017, 03:57:36 PM »
I see that a link to an article in the Sun has been put up on the H&V facebook page. Can  it not be made site policy to not allow links to the Sun here or on any of our social media pages?

I'm not the biggest fan of the S*n either, but it's an article about John Terry which I found mildly amusing and shared because I could not find it elsewhere. I will remove it if wished.

Can't stand that site either. Anyway, I've sorted it now.

Thanks. There are many newspapers I don't like but for obvious reasons the Sun should be boycotted

What Ger said, plus their appalling treatment of Sir Graham, even after he died.

I have the same problem with people sending me links to the Daily Mail. I don't want to honour that rag with even a single click - mainly because of its sidebar. People at work still send them with alarming regularity which, considering the Mail's attitude to who I work for, really gets on my tits.

I agree on The Sun by the way. I think Liverpool's boycott is one of the great social movements of recent times and happy to support it.

If it had been Villa fans at Hillsborough, that disgusting rag would have been exactly the same as it was with Liverpool fans.

Doing that, they've done something against every club.

Not to mention common human decency.

Fuck that disgusting rag.

Just wanted to point out there's a double negative in the second sentence

Every person with more brain cells than fingers should boycott The Sun.
