If you're in Scotland, Reform UK is sending election leaflets through the mail without paying the postage!

So the recipient pays to receive their grotesque racist spam. Niiiiice.

@cstross I never pay postage due. If someone doesn't care that much about contacting me then I don't care that much about reading whatever it is.

@TimWardCam I wouldn't normally, unless I know to expect a letter from someone I know personally (not an institution). But some folks are more trusting.

NB: there is a freepost address for Reform UK and while they probably won't let you mail them a broken washing machine any more, something small weighing over 100 grams is a good bet to trigger the higher postage fee ...

@cstross @TimWardCam glitter, perhaps?

@geeksam @TimWardCam

My go-to choice would be glitter, and a gift-wrapped Durian fruit in some sort of packaging to keep the smell in until it's unwrapped.

@TimWardCam @cstross one of my favourite keepsakes is a postcard my mum sent me, without paying the full UK->Ireland postage. The Royal Mail covered up the punchline with their ugly 'this sender has not blah blah blah' . I still don't know what she found funny enough about it to send on to me.
