Can we get rid of the people who want to "read" this shite at the same time ?

If you don't beleive it, you can play back their tape of the call later
Rupert is trying to save the BSkyB deal, and the reputation of James Murdoch, who has just said "The company paid out of court settlements approved by me. That was wrong and a matter of serious regret."
Sun staff have been advised to prepare for a 7 day week too.

Amazing isn't it. Everyone says - virtually without exception - what a dreadful rag it is yet it sells millions of copies. Must be a lot of people out there who buy it without admitting to

New name - same filth, both content and management wise - absolute certainty
That's the problem though, the people who will be most affected by this were probably not to blame. All the office staff will be made redundant, yet I bet no-one at the top will go.

Very, very little will change in terms of content I would have thought. Sadly, there will be some job losses.

Does this mean the people sueing for breach of privacy will have no-one to sue now?

News International dont want to lose 4 million sales of a Sunday red top so basically we'll end up with either The Sun or a new snazzy title (The Sunday Arsewipe ?)

Exactly, it's the perfect paper for a couple. It is the best paper for football (aprt from the Football League Paper) for the blokes and it's the best paper for women because of all the showbiz gossip.

No doubt, they'll soon be launching the Sunday Sun 
Am absolutely flabbergasted by this news - astounded that they'd close the paper so soon. Very sad for all the decent staff working there.

If people don't buy it, they won't sell it (for long)

I wonder if this will reduce or increase the chances of cross-contamination with his other publications? On the one hand he has dealt swiftly with it, but people are VERY angry with this shite from News International, and without the NOTW to take their anger out on, perhaps they are more likely to boycott one of his other publications.

This, sadly.
I doubt it. I buy it sometimes. I don't think I need to pretend I don't. The sports section is good, they do better reports on the lower leagues than most of the other papers, and it makes some easy reading for a Sunday.

Ironically, virtually the only Sunday paper that covered the lower leagues properly. I have mates there, people who haven't hacked phones for their sports stories and joined only in the last few years. While they aren't going to get much symapthy in the current feeding frenzy, this is not their fault, and hope they'll be okay as it's not a good time to be out of work in the industry.
