in Praise, vent & warnings
Just heard that the News of the World is shuting down on Sunday and donating that day's sales to charity.
Shamed into doing the right thing I wonder?

    Um, no offence but what other reason do you think they have for shutting it down?

    I hope no one's naive enough to think the Sun on Sunday will be any better.

    Maybe its because they see no other way out?
    Maybe its because they think they can hide from any enquiry findings?
    Maybe they're afraid of what else is lurking around the corner?
    All or none of the above?

    I'm not in the slightest offended. Your question is perfectly reasonable :beer:
