    I haven't bought a newspaper regularly for over a decade, and I very rarely buy one now. I get my news mainly from the internet (BBC website and others) and less often the TV.

    I don't have time to read a daily newspaper, and I don't feel they provide anything I can't get anywhere else for free.

    NOT THE SUN! due to all the fibs and bad things they said after hillsborough!
  • I read the Sun and the Star, both crap newspapers but I work nights and they get left in the canteen at work so I don't need to buy them.
    If you don't like what I say slap me around with a large trout and PM me to tell me why.

    If you do like it please hit the thanks button.
  • If I was buying it would be the Independent

    Close on two years since we bought a newspaper.

    Get all the information we need from TV and Internet.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    That's a good way of weeding out all the mail readers. You could ban them from the forum or at least put a warning in their signatures!
    Apparently I'm 10 years old on MSE. Happy birthday to me...etc

    funny thing about the Mail critics yet here shows quite a few do buy the paper including me and often I notice the newstands sell out of the Mail and I don't get a copy.

    It is a paper that does voice the concerns of the old cliche phrase "the silent majority" of the public where the television broadcasters are very PC and biased towards certain minority groups yet espouse impartiality yet are anything but.
  • Occasionally The Independent, sometimes The Guardian (if they've got an article I'm particularly interested in, not for general news), but most of all, The Week.
