Link one telling you how to do it.

Link two is a copy of the letter to Chris Grayling MP that Frances Crook of the Howard League for Penal Reform sent with their book.

Just read this. I like it, and that Kathy Lette started it.

Thanks for this link bags - I laughed out loud at what happens to Chris Grayling in Kathy Lettes book. I love the subversiveness of the plan to send books on to him. I am about to have one of my periodic bookshelf culls and sending books by courier is reasonably cheap. grin

This whole sorry episode has been an example of small minded and nasty policies being set up without any reason. I am pleased that it has been overturned and will take great pleasuregrin in sending a pile of books to my local MP ( one of the nasty party) and asking that he pass them on to his buddy Grayling.
