Hi its the reverand Jack here

Please can you send a small tin of dog food to Tony Blair as by way of a protest!

cus if you feel strongly, something has to be done!

thank you

Nice idea, but the chances are he would never see it. Something as bulky as that would be taken out in the yard by the security services and shot full of holes with a shotgun.

Would I come across as irredeemably ignorant if I made the face that looks like this: and said "protest against what?".

- no longer needing dog licences?
- all the dogs who will be made redundant due to the end of foxhunting?
- him being a poodle to President Bush?

Perhaps something a little more focussed is in order...

Whatever you do, don't send it registered delivery ... with no opposable thumbs, the canine recipient would never be able to sign the dispatch notice ...

Also, don't put too much wrapping on it; too much sellotape does nothing for their bowels. Simply unload a can of your canine friends favourite repast into a plain brown envelope and just hope that he, or indeed she, seizes the initiative and tears it open.

Also, make sure you get the address right ...

*agrees with Hoo*

I'd send Blair a bag of bullsh*t, but dogfood?

You should open the tin of dogfood, and transfer the contents to a Jiffy bag, which should be sufficiently water- and oil-proof for your purposes. Then stick an addresss label on the envelope (or write the address on the envelope *first* ! Writing on an envelope full of squishy dog food is much harder.

The Royal Mail now loses 213% of all mail posted in the UK, so using this method of delivery is clearly not going to get your message across. Here's what you do:

Travel to London by the means of your choice,* and go to Downing Street.

Downing Street is currently inacccessible to the general public. You should find, however, that there is a police presence at the gates to Downing Street. Once you have politely explained what you're doing to the police, they will allow you through the gates.

Post your envelope through the letter box of No. 10. You may also wish to ring the doorbell at this stage, to alert Tony Blair to the fact that he has mail.

Make good your retreat.

*Unless you live there already.

As an employee of The Royal Mail I object to the notion that we lose 213% of people's mail

I don't care if the Royal Mail does lose 213% of my mail. All they ever put through my door is junk and bills.

I if anyone wants to send me anything really important it is usually by email, fax or telephone. Then they can be reasonably sure I am going to get it before I my next birthday. If its a parcel it's by one of the multitude of courier companies.

Pitty you can't email a bag of dog food!
