I’m seeing that some people are using free post to return electoral marketing mail.
It’s better to use the free post to send a letter outlining your thoughts, on plain paper, without your name and address. That way you will be adding to the company costs without giving them your data. 😉

Very good to meet the new Leader of the Greens 💚💚 in England, @zackpolanski.bsky.social
Good debate, plenty to build on. Key messages: get out & build communities; unity is strength; inclusion / defend minorities under attack; FOR a left social programme; real independence.
