Barcodes On Postage Stamps


As of August 1st 2023 most first and second class stamps (excluding commemorative stamps) will contain a barcode which must be kept with the stamp.

Why are they doing this?

“The move is part of the Company’s extensive and ongoing modernisation drive and will allow the unique barcodes to facilitate operational efficiencies, enable the introduction of added security features and pave the way for innovative services for customers.”

Bollocks. It’s so you won’t be able to send a turd in a parcel to your MP or MSP without them knowing where you bought the stamp, and from that they can work out when you bought it and the person that purchased it. Another nail in the coffin of our civil liberties.

  1. I wondered what those fucking things were for. They kept that fucking quiet. So if I pay cash how do they know it’s me? Can they link me to a CCTV picture ?
    Or are they anticipating the cashless society?
    The cunts.

  2. A turd would cause a temporary inconvenience but a bag of glitter is legal and will provide unending misery for the recipient and I’d want the cunt to know it was me.

  3. The police must be delighted.

    Now, if a tranny receives a letter addressed to “Mr” all they need to do is go over several hours of CCTV, use facial recognition and then find an address.

    Then they can send round a squad of at least 6 police officers to make an arrest for “mis-gendering”.

    Exciting times.

    • But it keeps the pigs occupied while people get on with some real crime, so that’s good, innit.

  4. You guys in the Mother Country are lagging a bit behind the times. The United States Postal Service (USPS) began using QR codes on stamps and labels almost a decade ago.

    Anton asked, “Why are they doing this?”

    Why the fuck do you think? Because it increases their control over society.

    They know how many stamps are bought and who bought them. They know how many stamps are used and who uses them. They know who sends what to who. They can monitor volume. They can track individual parcels. They can catalog your family, friends and associates as well as whatever is delivered to you. They can delay, stop or intercept any parcel or piece of mail they so desire.

    AND…they can stop you from communicating.

    If they can track your car with traffic cameras and GPS…track your phone service with that same GPS and control your connection with towers…monitor and control your spending habits with digital currency…access and control your electronic communications and shut down your ability to communicate by mail…

    It is indeed a Brave New One World Order we live in.

    Now…get your vaccine or else!

    A thoroughly righteous cunting.

    • Ah, but you see, General, the UK likes to drag its feet and act like its behind the times. That way when a country like the US tries something new – such as QR codes on stamps – and it proves to be a massive success for society as a whole then the UK will totally ignore it.

      If on the other hand it’s a massive fucking failure, society hates it and proves to waste a shitload of money, doesn’t improve anything, then obviously the UK will take it on-board with open arms!

    • I’ve said this a couple of times before good General but feel compelled to repeat it. Honecker and Ceacescu et al would be pissing themselves laughing in Hell at this. The Western world isn’t that far behind China.

  5. The perfect answer for the Disgruntled Correspondent is to post their letter without a stamp on it.

    Barcode that you cunts.

  6. The first step to bar-coding humans.

    Sorry you had your quota of meat this week, try some delicious bugs..

    We noticed you have had 2 beers,one month detox for you.

  7. I honestly can’t remember the last time that me or Mrs Cunter received a letter from anyone.

    It’s all electronic now.

    Even Christmas and Birthday greetings are sent by email or WhatsApp.

    Parcel deliveries are from Amazon, DHL or FedEx.

    I no longer know what a Spanish stamp looks like.
    I suspect that an English one will now have the jug eared, wonky nosed, chinless buffoon on, but I have not received one of those and I doubt that I ever will.

    • The new stamps will be bigger than standard envelopes so they can fit the cunt’s ears on them.

  8. Just use commemorative stamps.

    Or throw a brick through their window.

    Neither are barcoded.

    Good morning.

  9. There’s also the question of postal voting which certain parties seem very keen on. If you are on the list of undesirables your vote can be intercepted, so even if there are honest people conducting the count your vote never gets there in the first place.
    Anyone want a double on Sleepy Joe and Starmzy in 2024?

  10. It must be devastating news for a terrorist.

    If he wants to send a parcel bomb he would need to send someone else to a town where he is not known to buy the stamps.

    That person would need to not look like a terrorist.
    No beard, so that rules out any of his wives or any of his children, male or female over the age of 4.

    Problematic to say the least.

    The terrorist would have to think of some other way to terrorise.

    Or maybe just give up.

    That must be the plan.

  11. Everything you buy or sign up to will require a barcode or QR code that you must scan with your phone in order to authenticate and purchase. This leaves an electronic “bread crumb” from which Those In The Know, will be able to track your whereabouts, as well as build a foundation on your purchasing habits and the kind of sites you sign up to.

    It’s no surprise that government agencies, security services and big corporations are hiring massive datacentres containing petabytes (1000 terabytes), and even exabytes (1000 petabytes) worth of hard drive storage, most it used to gather as much information about you as possible.

    This innocent looking stamp will fit in quite nicely into that massive data-gathering jigsaw they pretend doesn’t exist!

    • I never once thought the GCHQ doughnut was a shopping mall. I’m sure there are exabytes of data storage capacity inside and underneath, given you can fit a terabyte on a memory stick

  12. I’m sure there’s an innocent explanation for all this. All you cunts are just paranoid. You need to be dragged off for some head doctor to have a look at and identify the mental elf.

    Oh……..wait a minute…..

  13. Apparently you can use the barcode to get to videos. We could have watched Shaun the Sheep over Christmas.
    They call this progress.

  14. First class cunting!

    Today’s Post Office is run like the NHS. No staff, endless queues, everything arrives late, everything is charged for. This was all foreseeable when it was sold off and ceased to be the Royal Mail. Once the charter was gone, it became fair game for it to piss all over its customers. Still, on the plus side, it supports diversity.

    Our shitty little Post Office is just a counter in WH Smiths and also provides services to the customers of Barclays whose branch has shut down. Absolute wank. The whole fucking country is on life support.

    To add insult to injury, the QR codes make my eyes go squiffy. Fucking bollocks to it.

    Good morning, everyone.

    • One of the POs in the city centre is in WH Smiths but in the basement so people either can’t access it or are scared to. I went once, never again.

      • I’m amazed how WH.Shite is still trading!.

        Expensive, bland and seems stuck in the 1980s

      • I think they turned down the lighting to make it appear even less attractive. If you’re taking off Gallowtree Gate.

      • Last time went in WH Smith in Manchester (near last Christmas), it was heaving with Pride books and rainbow propaganda, telling us riff raff how great LGBTQ is.

        WH Shitstabbers, more like.🤢

        And HMV are no better. Overpriced shite and Pride Stasi bollocks under one roof.

      • It’s the ‘tragic lives’ book sales that keep Smiths going, as well as the odd roll of wrapping paper, notebook and pencil case.

      • Nope, CC, but am glad it is not just here that is going down the pug-hole!

    • It is a common misconception that Royal Mail and the Post Office are one and the same.
      They are not. They are entirely separate entities.
      Royal Mail is a private company (privatised in 2013), whereas the Post Office remains owned by the government.

  15. Next stage will be the mandatory barcoding of our foreheads or arms.

    Without a barcode/QR then you’re not part of society and not entitled to anything.

    If you do have a barcode/QR it will be “topped” up every time you do something good for society; and likewise, do something bad and you’ll be “deducted”

    This will be all part of the good old Social Credit System people bang on about. And okay, a barcode imprinted on your forehead might be a bit extreme, but it won’t stop them finding alternatives, such as microchips used to locate missing pets.

    • That mad cunt in Japan who thinks he’s a border collie must have already been chipped then.

      No more Bonio for him.

    • Knowing our government the substance used in the subdermal QR coding will be known to be highly carcinogenic but the contractor providing it has a place on the board for the health secretary when he/she retires from politics, possibly based in Switzerland or Singapore.

  16. First day of the ULEZ extension in Stabistan today……..more cameras, more tracking, more money stolen from our pockets and all because 4000 imaginary Londoners are dying from “bad air” every year. I seem to remember that the fucking Plague ( the real one not the Plandemic ) was blamed on “bad air” back in the day. Don’t anyone say Suckdick doesn’t know his history.

      • Anything that ‘obscures’ your number plate is illegal, so I would guess this is too. Although it might be difficult to establish you even have it.

      • And unless you have had the car brand new from the showroom it would be impossible to say that you put it on.

    • All that technology and money spent just to save a few lives.

      Pity Suckdick couldn’t plough as much technology, money and effort in reducing crime – but that would mean too much like hard work, as well as causing offence to the usual suspects.

      Oh, and “history” is being rewritten. The Plague was caused by the white man to kill off the black man back in the day.

  17. I was surprised and impressed recenrly by the detailed surveillance operating nowadays. My wife the accountant, keeps track of our finances. I haven’t looked at a bank statement for many years. Shop receipts are thrown in a drawer and occasionally she runs down them to see where the money is going. On a months-old Tesco receipt she spotted an entry for five bottles of wine. We knew this to be wrong as we regularly buy one or two bottles but never five. I went back to the shop with the receipt not holding out much hope. The manager went off with the receipt to “check on the cameras.” Two minutes later he returned and told us the check-out operator had pushed the 5 rather than the 2 button on her keypad. He refunded us double the amount we had been overcharged.

  18. You won’t need to send a turd through the post, it’s already beside the stamp.

  19. It quite amazes me that, give the ability to track just about anything, the solve rate for crime is as shite as it is.

  20. I know their game. They want to cut out all the loads of 2nd class stamps (mostly unglued) that float out of sorting depots and post offices and flood ebay near Christmas, as people look for a bargain as they have lots of crappy cards to send out.

    Fuck all to do with ‘modernisation’. Everything to do with money, the greedy cunts.

  21. Suckdick Khan gets two turds in the post every morning now I believe.
    Who the fuck is sending the other one?

  22. Nick Clegg actually holds the Guinness Book of Records for the most turds posted through his letter box.

    • Ah yes, but are ‘Turds’ being confused here with ‘Clegg Nuts’? There is a subtle difference. According to Sir David Attenborough, it depends which part of the country your sorry arse inhabits.

  23. Imagine, say, if you had a juicy but of gen on a cunt of an MP and you wanted to send an anonymous letter to 18 different newspapers and political offices etc. You can only buy books of stamps in 8 or 4 from the shops. So you have to buy 2×8+1×4. They’re all barcoded. Then you post them in a far away town so the post mark isn’t your town. Every post box covered by CCTV. Not really a free society is it?

  24. The only envelope mail I get is from HMRC, marketing guff, 2 birthday cards and 2 Christmas cards. Everything else is email.

    I bought SAGa car insurance (cheap) and the cunts sold my details so now I get endless retirement, care home and cruise guff in the post. Ffs.

  25. That’s still got old ER on ’em?
    …Not that big-eared, sausage-fingered alcoholic with the fellow dipso missus who’s the double of Rod Hull?
    Stamps? Royal Mail? I shit ’em.
