News of the World - last edition this Sunday

[Wozza]

According to sources... and now Sky News.

 

[Munchkin]

Good f***ing riddance.

To be replaced by ... The Sun on Sunday?

 

[Scotty Mac]

To be replaced by ... The Sun on Sunday?

id say that is a nailed on certainty

same shit, different name

 

[Tooting Gull]

That is amazing, doesn't it sell 4million a week or something?

Very sketchy so far, could be that it's closed, or could be that it will just be reopened and rebranded.

My money would be on Sun staff being told they will work seven days a week, and few of the NoW staff taken on there.

 

[Braders]

not worth the 4 weeks free-trial then?

 

[albionite]

Still a buying market out there for the product...so will just come out with a new name no doubt.

 

[Pat McCrotch]

WOW

 

[Superphil]

BBC London just said it too

 

[Albion Robster]

Wouldn't wipe my arse with that paper!

 

[The Large One]

Now on BBC

BBC News - News of the World to close amid hacking scandal

 

[CHAPPERS]

But my MISSUS likes the MAGAZINE.

 

[The Large One]

Changes nothing, mind.

 

[Bold Seagull]

According to sources... and now Sky News.

The irony if the 'sources' had tapped their phones...

Surely new name has to be:
The Sun-Day

 

[brakespear]

fantastic news but as others say will probably appear under a different name.

 

[strings]

A synical move to make Murdoch's purchase of BSkyB more palletable. Murdoch will still control the British press and Prime Ministers and politicians will still clamour to cosy up to him.

[Twinkle Toes]

Good to hear that one piece of weekly arse-wipe is finally getting binned. As has been stated already though: cue another shithouse rag feeding the desperate, clucking millions their fix of crap.

 

[Wozza]

The irony if the 'sources' had tapped their phones...

One of my colleagues got a call earlier from a NotW staffer in tears at the news. We couldn't quite believe it.

 

[Braders]

Surely new name has to be:
The Sun-Day

was thinking exactly that
