Dear Sir,
I wish to express my overwhelming disappointment and anger that you continue to stock and affiliate yourself with such a publication as The Sun.
I have been a loyal Asda customer for many years. I am also a Merseysider. I am also a Liverpool Football Club supporter. Members of my friends and family were at the Hilsborough disaster.
Whilst we have known for many years that the hideous stories used to try and disgrace our fellow supporters on that day were lies, Mr Cameron's revelations in Commons from the independent enquiry mean that the world now has definitive proof.
The Sun's editor at the time decided to run with a story that so grossly sensationalised these lies and claims that peoples lives and memories were tarnished. With no regard to TRUTH and real investigative journalism, The Sun wanted dirt. They wanted to sell newspapers. They wanted profit. Hiding behind squeals 'Freedom of Press' they have hurt and damaged thousands of people as they have continued to act in such an immoral and seedy way in the 23 years since.
Newspapers are supposed to be that. A provider of news, of reasoned and rational opinion. The Sun is gutter press at it's worst. They can no longer hide behind their right to an opinion. Because they have been proven to print lies. Slander. Deformation of character.
As a family-orientated company, who have ethics and a strong mission statement. You should cut all ties and affiliations. You could do what is right. You could make SUCH a positive statement to your customers and the world.
Please, PLEASE stop selling The Sun and selling/buying advertising space, for the good of our society.
Yours sincerely
Jenny Bibby
