The Telegraph - £1bn scheme to create 'soft jobs'
The Times - Union fury as civil service outsources jobs to India
Daily Express - Foreign Spongers, By Judge 'Hundreds of Thousands Abuse Benefits'
Financial Times - Shake up at taxpayer bank body stuns City
Financial Times - Fines Call for Airbus and EADS executives
The Guardian - Pizza and P45s: sit-in workers fired by food parcel
The Independent - Windfall For Tories as Firms Eye £4bn Contracts
Notes: The list is sorted in order of circulation (i.e. The Sun would come first and the Independent last), 2. web versions of stories often differ to the print editions, 3. The numbers at the end of the title is the date.
Tip if you want to read a full FT article: cut and paste the text for the FT headline into google, click search, click on the link from google (usually the first or second result). Clicking directly or c&ping from MSE is likely to get you the first couple of paragraphs plus a login/registration page unless you're a paid up member of ft.com.

Are you some kind of news bot? You've been posting at 5 minutes past midnight for 3 days now with the same type of non-specific random news clippings. Is there a point to it? Monkfish does the same thing.
At least add some thoughts of your own to the stories like Ad, Generali, Wookster, Graham and others do, or are news bots not capable of doing that? :rolleyes:

I don't think it's non specific with the subject of "Economy front page stories...."
I think it's a good idea, one place to quickly link to all the main papers daily subject.:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

Why are you interested in whether or not I am some kind of news bot? </eliza>

I'll include a poll tomorrow and give the option to knock it on the head just for you Snoozey (along with options on whether people want the daily update as a separate thread or contained in a once a week/month thread)."The state is the great fiction by which everybody seeks to live at the expense of everybody else." -- Frederic Bastiat, 1848.0 -
